A PASSION TO COMMUNICATE WITH CATS

After sending two children off to college, Phyllis started a new career in veterinary medicine, adding her A.A.S. in 2011 to degrees in chemistry and romance languages.  She has been a Certified Veterinary Technician in Colorado since July 2011 and has worked at CatTails since December 2013.  

Phyllis's passion is to communicate with cats.  After two years of studying feline behavior, she was awarded the Advanced Certificate in Feline Behavior with Distinction in 2020 from the International Society of Feline Medicine. She is also the author of The Feline Purrspective, a blog about cat care and cat behavior. When not at CatTails, Phyllis enjoys hiking, biking, and walking her cats.

Christy joined the Cattails team in February of 2017. She holds a BA in Classical Languages. She has worked for 18 years in the feline veterinary field, and graduated from Bel-Rea with an Associates of Applied Sciences in Animal Technology in 2013. She has volunteered with big cat facilities and keeps track of her own herd of cats at home. Originally from Georgia, she moved from to Colorado in 2003. Her interests outside of work include good movies, long books, DIY projects, and naps. Vacation time often means traveling, both domestic and international, where she can practice a bit of amateur photography (28 states, 15 countries, and counting…).

Guy has been the Practice Manager for CatTails since 2005.  'I continue to feel honored and privileged to be a part of the finest cat hospital in the region.' Previously he was employed as the AV manager for the Marriott Luxury and Wyndham Grand Hotels. Throughout his entire adult life Guy has also been and continues to be a professional musician, performing with local and national acts as well as recording for original artists, radio and television ads and current member of the Broadmoor Tavern Orchestra.
