Danielle
REGISTERED VETERINARY TECHNICIAN
By Taji, her cat
Hi there! I’m Taji, the fluffy, orange dude in the photo. My mama, Danielle, is a Registered Veterinary Technician. I don’t really know what that means, but I know she loves cats very much. In fact, she wants to work with them for the rest of her life.
Christine
REGISTERED VETERINARY TECHNICIAN
By Ellie, her cat
Hi, I’m Ellie! My mom Christine adopted me from a cat-crowded home when we lived in Florida. One time a dog came to our house and never left, so I had to teach him how to respect cats.
Chi
VETERINARY ASSISTANT
By Pumpkin, Their Cat
Chi adopted me from the SPCA of Wake County in 2021. Since then I have been the Queen of the house, hehe. Chi told me that they have loved animals all their life and eventually went vegetarian at 17. (Couldn’t be me, I love my friskies).
Angie
CLIENT SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE
By Loki, her grandkitty
Hi! I’m Loki (the god of mischief, or so they claim). Angie became my grandma some years ago when she gave my mom a gift certificate for a kitten. A few months later, they went to a cat rescue that my grandma’s animal hospital worked with and picked me out. I love watching birds through the window, and my favorite spot for napping is in my grandma’s lap!

About Jordyn
By Zeus, her cat
Hello! My name is Zeus, Yes, the handsome boy in the picture, and the one holding me is my sister Jordyn. Jordyn recently graduated from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and is now continuing her animal journey to one day become a veterinarian. Ever since my family adopted me in 2014 from the SPCA of Wake County, I have seen Jordyn’s passion and love for animals grow. She loves working with and learning about all types of animals. Whether it’s dogs, cats, sea turtles, or even lemurs, she loves them all! Jordyn is a hardworking, kind, and sometimes a little annoying sister, but I know she loves me and she takes really good care of me and my dog brother, Duke, and I know one day she is going to be a great veterinarian because she has me:)

About Dr. Whitney Odom
A Triangle native, Dr. Odom received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from North Carolina State University. She earned the College’s Award for Excellence in Feline Medicine. Dr. Odom has been designated a Cat-Friendly Veterinarian by the American Association of Feline Practitioners. She has extensive experience in private practice, serving the Charlotte Metro and Triangle areas over the last decade-plus.
In 2022, Dr. Odom founded Atrium Cat Hospital, with the goal of reinventing the entire vet experience for cats and their caregivers. She understands how stressful a trip to the vet can be, so she set out to create an environment where everything revolves around comfort.
Outside the office, Dr. Odom can be found reading, listening to podcasts, enjoying the great outdoors, and playing Hot Wheels, if her kids have their way. She is a diehard fan of the show Survivor and a baked good enthusiast, as long as someone else does the baking. Dr. Odom shares her home with her husband, two young children, a scruffy mutt named Jax, and two cats, Cameron and Pepper.
About Christine
By Ellie, her cat
Hi, I’m Ellie! My mom Christine adopted me from a cat-crowded home when we lived in Florida. One time a dog came to our house and never left, so I had to teach him how to respect cats. Then a tiny human girl suddenly appeared 4 years ago and I think we’re best friends now! Over the last 10 years of Christine coming home, I smelled her clothes and learned that she volunteered with wildlife and zoolife, and worked as a Registered Veterinary Technician with dogs, cats, and exotic animals. She told me she is Fear Free certified (I believe it!) and that she most enjoys working in anesthesia, dentistry, and surgery.
About Brenda
By Coco, her cat
My name is Coco and I want to tell you about my snuggle buddy. Brenda has done lots of stuff, like rescuing me from a scary place, homeschooling her kids, and living in lots of places with her husband who was in the Army. Her kids have bigger laps than they used to and go away a lot, but she says she is staying here ‘cause she has gardens outside that she loves just as much as she loves me. She has a BS in psychology, is a certified NC Extension Master Gardener Volunteer, and will earn her NC Environmental Educator certification in 2024. She also likes to paint and read and make things. I don’t know what psychology is, but I like to help her garden and paint and read and make things. And I help her keep an eye on the birdies in the yard, and I growl when deliveries arrive, and I sit on the stuff she is working on to hold it down for her. And I give her lots of hugs. We make a good team!
About Chi
by Pumpkin, their cat
Chi adopted me from the SPCA of Wake County in 2021. Since then I have been the Queen of the house, hehe. Chi told me that they have loved animals all their life and eventually went vegetarian at 17. (Couldn’t be me, I love my friskies). After becoming a volunteer at the SPCA they realized they wanted to work with animals full time, and so they did! Since then Chi has worked at various animal hospitals and pet resorts and met all kinds of pets. After working extensively with rescue cats at the SPCA, they realized their love for feline medicine and that working exclusively with cats was what they wanted to do! Outside of work, Chi enjoys visiting the Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge in Pittsboro whenever they have the chance, or on rainy days they like staying home with me, curled up on the couch watching scary movies! 🎃
About Danielle
Mama has a special interest in low-stress handling techniques & neonatal kitten care. Her background also includes feline shelter medicine and high-volume spay and neuter operations. She earned a B.A. in Writing & Mass Communications in 2011 before pursuing a life of cats. Mama spends all her spare time with me (I wish!) and I occasionally let her spend time with 2 other cats (Onyx and Keoki), her husband, and daughter. She also enjoys feline volunteer work, exploring new places, and kisses from me.
About Angie
Angie has been a Licensed Veterinary Technician for over 40 years. Last year she was designated a Cat-Friendly Veterinary Professional by the American Association of Feline Practitioners. One of her joys is helping people discover how best to care for their pets, and she looks forward to continuing to do so. When she’s not at work, Angie enjoys going to the gym, reading, and digital scrapbooking. When the weather is nice, she spends as much time outdoors as possible.
About Sabrina
Sabrina started her career in the veterinary field in 2015. She has always had a very strong connection with cats, and she believes it is her purpose in life to help them in any way she can. It has been a dream of hers for a long time to join a feline-exclusive veterinary practice. Helping cats be more comfortable during vet visits is something that is very important to her, so she’s very excited to be a part of a team that strives to make this happen. Outside of work, Sabrina enjoys hiking, cooking, gardening, music, and photography.
