Cat, Cats, and more Cats! Donna is our resident cat lady and proud of it!

Donna came to work for KPMC in 2017 and has been a great addition to our team. Shelter medicine makes her heart happy and she loves traveling to different spay/neuter clinic for “spaycations”.

Lija started working at KPMC in 2018 as our kennel assistant. She makes sure all of our boarding pets are cared for and keeps the clinic in tip top shape. She and her husband have recently moved back to Wallace after spending time in Canada and Hawaii doing volunteer work and caring for family members. Five of their six grandchildren live in the Coeur d’ Alene area which was reason enough for them to stop traveling and come home. They own a Sunstone mine in Oregon and sell their gems and jewelry both locally and online. They are both very excited to be back in the Silver Valley.
