Dr. Pam Cuevas also went to the Kansas State Veterinary College, graduating 2 years after Dr. Lori in 1995. Since then she has practiced in Houston, TX; Denver, CO; and Chapel Hill, NC due to the career of her husband, Bruce, who does cancer research. She became interested in feline medicine in Denver and worked for the Denver Cat Hospitals for the four years that she spent in Colorado. While in North Carolina, Dr. Pam became involved in caring for the big cats of the Conservators Center Inc., a sanctuary for large carnivores. While working with CCI she did surgery on three lions, three tigers, and one leopard. Dr. Pam also was involved in the management of a lion’s inflammatory bowel disease and a leopard’s allergies and ringworm.
At home she lives with her husband and teenage son with one remaining cat named Stripe. Stripe joined the family in the summer of 1993 when Manhattan, KS flooded and she was rescued by the then 4 year old Daniel. Stripe has been the queen of the house since, outliving her younger housemates BanSidhe (1995-2008) and Biscuit (1997-2004). |
