We would like to share some news with our clients - Dr. Hehn is taking a break from veterinary medicine and returning to school to pursue a Master of Fine Arts degree.  She has been accepted into the MFA program at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and will be leaving the Cat Clinic at the end of July.  Dr. Hehn has been with us since 2011 and many of you, and your kitties, have gotten to know her over the years.  We are grateful for the compassion, competency and care that Dr. Hehn has put into her work here.  We will miss her tremendously and wish her the very best in her next chapter!
