Pam

If you don’t see Kim when you enter our hospital, then you will probably see Pam. As manager she makes our hospital run smoothly, so we can focus on better serving our patients. Pam is originally from the Halls/Powell area, and holds over 20 years of experience in business accounting. She is mother to 3 children, 2 dogs, 3 cats, and 4 rabbits. Most of Pam’s pets are rescues, and her passions include promoting shelter adoption, pet rescue work, and rabbits.
Kim

Kim has lived in the Knoxville area her entire life, and has been with Emory Animal Hospital since 2001. She is married, mother to 4 children, and grandmother to 9. Kim is usually the first person you will speak with when calling or visiting Emory Animal Hospital. She has a vast knowledge of the medical conditions that can affect our animal companions, and enjoys assisting with any questions you may have. Kim has a Boxer dog named Kady, and a cat named Skeeter. In her spare time, Kim enjoys the outdoors and spending time at the ball field with her family.

Ricky Bobby
Night Watchman
Ricky Bobby came to us as an injured stray kitten in 2013. He quickly warmed our hearts and became our resident mascot and clinic cat. Although you may not see him when you visit us, he does make appearances occasionally on social media, and enjoys keeping watch in the front window after hours. Ricky Bobby loves us very much, but would truly love to find a home to call his own. He is currently seeking a home as an only cat (mellow dogs or other pets would be ok), in a home with no young children. He would thrive best in an environment where he can receive lots of attention and treats (he told us to mention the treats part!) Just let us know if you would like to arrange a meet-and-greet with Ricky Bobby!
