In 2018, Dr. Vivian Cat received her doctorate of veterinary medicine from St. George's University in Grenada, having completed her clinical year at Oregon State University. Originally from New York, she has also lived in Quebec, the West Indies, and Oregon before finally settling in the Bay Area with her husband and menagerie of two – "Peanut", a tricolor mixed breed island dog, and "Google", a grey domestic shorthair tabby. In her downtime, she enjoys hiking with her dog, trying new foods, and reading in her hammock.
