Drs. Jennifer Carne Wiegel (’14) & Kayla Wafful Oldham (’15)
For two Iowa State graduates, there really isn’t a choice when it comes down to cats or dogs. And ironically, the pair are working at the same veterinary clinic halfway across the country from Ames. “I just have a love for kitties,” said Kayla Wafful Oldham. “In particular, I really love geriatric cats. They hold a special place in my heart.” Oldham’s co-worker at Happy Tails Emergency Veterinary Clinic in Greensboro, N.C., Jennifer Carne Wiegel, also has a deep love for cats. “Crystal was the best companion a little girl could ask for,” Wiegel remembered. “She would allow me to carry her around in a little purse. She slept with me every night and licked my tears when I was sad. She was my best friend and the reason why I chose to become a veterinarian.”
