STAFF BIOGRAPHY
 
DR. MOLLY MCCULLOUGH

I've wanted to be a veterinarian as long as I can remember.  Like many veterinarians that I've met through the years, I spent my childhood rescuing wild animals which were trapped in our window wells or injured.  I remember rescuing a toad which was trapped and had lost a leg, and nursing him back to health.  When he reappeared the following spring, healthy and robust, I knew that I had found my calling fixing up critters.
 
We always had a dog when I was growing up, and I remember that I was usually the one who brushed him, bathed him, and trimmed his nails.  However my parents were never cat lovers, so I grew up catless.  It wasn't until I owned one in veterinary school that I became enamored of them.  I now live with two Cornish Rex cats named "Hogan" and "Cam".  Their antics amuse me every day.
