Veterinarian / Owner: Kim E. Percival, D.V.M.

Kim E. Percival, D.V.M. attended the College of Veterinary Medicine at Texas A & M University (yes, she’s an Aggie, but please don’t hold that against her).  During veterinary school, she focused on learning everything possible about feline medicine.  She was an active student member of the American Association of Feline Practitioners, and they gave her an award for her knowledge about cats.  She graduated Cum Laude from the College of Veterinary Medicine in May of 1996.

Dr. Percival has only been an Austinite for four years.  She was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana and spent 10 years in Houston.  After graduation from veterinary school in 1996, Dr. Percival moved to Austin to work for a small animal hospital in the northwest part of town.  At this hospital, she saw dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, chinchillas, hamsters, birds, and even a goat.  During this time, she observed how frequently cats became nervous from the noise of barking dogs.  Because she loved working with cats and wanted to create a comfortable environment for her feline friends, she decided to open the Cat Hospital of Austin.

During the planning process for the Cat Hospital of Austin, Dr. Percival toured the Cat Veterinary Clinic and Memorial Cat Hospital in Houston.  She would like to extend a special thanks to Dr. Paula Runte’ (who was also one of Dr. Percival’s previous employers as a veterinary extern in Houston) and Dr. William Folger for their help and hospitality.
