Dr. Kate Walters-Thornton is a native of Salt Lake City, Utah. Like many children, she told everyone she wanted to be a veterinarian from a very young age and spent much of her childhood practicing her future skills on her own menagerie of luckless pets.
She graduated from Boston University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in biochemistry and molecular biology. Subsequently, she earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Washington State University. In the following year, Dr. Walters completed a small animal rotating surgical/medical internship at Florida Veterinary Specialists in Tampa, Florida.
By this time, Dr. Walters had already picked up two rescue pets of her own and had decided that the mountains and family back in Utah were calling her home. Dr. Walters now shares her home with her husband Dave, their two young boys, two rescue dogs (a perfect Heeler/Border collie mix named Reese and a young, wild German shorthaired pointer named Kaiser), and two rescue cats (siblings named Ella and Hendrix).
Her professional interests include internal medicine, surgery, feline medicine, and shelter medicine. In her free time, Dr. Walters enjoys alpine skiing, hiking, cycling, live music, international travel, and spending time with family and friends.
