Old Lady aka Office cat (OC).
I have been working at Minnetonka Animal Hospital since 2007. I was skin and bones when I first came to the clinic, hence my name Old Lady. Actually, I had no idea how to live the wild life, which is why I became so thin. I now enjoy deluxe feline meals and I always help the staff with their lunches. Everyone reminds me to watch my waistline. I love to greet everyone as they come to the clinic. Welcome!

Amanda W, CVT
I live with my husband Billy, my daughter & newborn son, as well as cats, dogs, guinea pigs and fish! I've loved animals since I was little and as soon as I could, I worked at the Humane Society cleaning kennels and bathing animals. I went to St. Cloud State before deciding to be a Veterinary Technician. I received my AAS degree in 2000 from the Medical Institute of Minnesota. In 1999, I worked with exotic animals at the U of M Rehab Center. I am the newest member of the Minnetonka Animal Hospital team and I love it here!

I would be happy to give you a tour of our rehab facilities including our rehab pool. I live with Matoe and Marion (Cairn terriers), and Purdy, my calico cat. When I am not working, I enjoy science fiction, sewing, bicycling, writing and miscellaneous projects as the mood strikes.

Erinn King, CVT
I live with my husband Dave, my dogs, cats, ferrets and a variety of tropical fish. After starting in the veterinary technician program in 2003, I wanted to get experience with animals in every way I could. I cleaned kennels, bathed dogs, and was a veterinary assistant. I graduated from the Minnesota School of Business in 2005 and became certified after taking the exams in January 2006. I started at Minnetonka Animal Hospital in December of 2009 and I have to say that I am proud to be a member of this team!
