Dr. Martin - Doctor
Dr. Carol Martin is a native of Armagh, Ireland -- The Orchard County -- who came to the states in 2003 to continue
her Veterinary practice in the big city. Since the age of three she has wanted to be a vet and upon graduating from Dublin
University in 1992 she dove into the only career that ever really appealed to her. Dr. Martin's Border Collie, Lola and cheeky cat,
Darcy are both holding down the fort back in Ireland and occasionally leave muffled messages on her answering machine. Her special
interests in veterinary medicine include rabbit care and small animal radiology, in which she recieved a specialty degree in 1999.
When she isn't preoccupied with the well being of animals, Dr. Martin indulges her love of music, traveling, the theater and yoga.
She has little trouble filling her free time with interesting and unusual things -- from the boardwalk at Coney Island to untested
recipes in her kitchen. The only bad thing about New York City is the limited space of her apartment, where the only pet who has sufficient
room to move around is Billy, a Japanese Fighting Fish.

Stinky - Cat
Stinky is Symphony Vet Center's resident cat. She loves to
be petted and she'll hook her claw into your pants hem if
you try to walk away before she has gotten her fill. Due to
a car accident when she was a kitten, Stinky is partially
paralyzed and incontinent (thus the name Stinky), but she
is suprisingly agile and able to get around. Despite being
on permanent medication, she couldn't be happier living as
our hospital cat. |
