Dr. Kathryn L. Brothers is a 1998 graduate of Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. She was born in Big Spring, Texas, the daughter of an Air Force pilot and a school teacher. Some of her best times growing up were spent with her best friends Spats and Gizmo (the family dogs), her grandfather who was a wildlife and animal enthusiast, and riding horses. In college, she played intercollegiate women’s soccer, was president of the Southeastern Raptor Rehabilitation Center, received a molecular genetics fellowship, and was awarded multiple scholarships. Dr. Brothers’ specialties include internal medicine, geriatric medicine, oncology, and soft tissue surgery. When not volunteering for several pet rescue organizations, she is a dedicated wife and a proud mother to a lively and loving daughter. Her four-legged family includes a miniature schnauzer named Poe, a diva cat named Summer, and the fluffiest pomeranian named Leo. Most of her spare time is devoted to family but her interests include dressage, all things outdoors, travel, and good food [citation].
