This is Karen Thomas, DVM.  She is not only my friend, but has been a wonderful and patient mentor.  She also included me in her own cattery, www.panthat.com, allowing me to describe myself as her co-breeder with Burmese.  We remain fast friends, even though I no longer breed the Burmese.  She owns and operates a small veterinary clinic in Atlanta, and is well known for her contributions to the Winn Foundation, and her participation with and contribution to Noahs Ark, a privately owned and operated non-profit rescue home for animals and children in the Atlanta area.   Noahs Ark operates solely on donations, and is a non-profit organization.  For more information about Noahs Ark, please see www.noahs-ark.org
