Our Journey
It all started when Corinne was a little girl.
Later she went on to graduate from Colorado State University, winning the American Association of Feline Practitioners award.
And today, she is the owner, veterinarian of For the Love of Cats Veterinary Clinic, dedicated solely to the care and well-being of cats.
Meet Dr. Corinne Thomas, Owner, Veterinarian
Dr. Corinne Thomas started with a Bachelor of Arts and a Masters in Occupational Therapy before she decided to follow her passion and work with animals, especially cats. After working as an occupational therapist for several years, she moved to Colorado with the goal of being accepted to Colorado State University to pursue a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. She graduated in 2003, earning the Feline Veterinary Medical Association award. After working in general practice in the Denver area for a few years, she decided to open a feline-only clinic. In 2007, she opened her cat clinic close to home in Loveland and names if after her love for all cats: “For the Love of Cats Veterinary Clinic.”
In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her husband Craig (and their rescued cats) hiking, reading, and playing the piano.

Pickles | Head of Sales
12/12/2006 - 07/06/2024
Pickles enjoyed the title of resident office cat and head of sales at For the Love of Cats Veterinary Clinic since the Spring of 2018. This lovely lady certainly was the Queen of the clinic! She loved the sunshine, and could often be found napping in her bed near the door, with sunbeams gleaming off her silky fur. Her other special napping spot was on Dr. Thomas’ office chair – helping with her many tasks throughout the day, but often leaving Dr. Thomas with only a mere inch or two of the seat to herself!
If you were lucky, Pickles would even choose to sit directly on top of the paper you were writing on, and rub her face against your hand as you wrote. Besides sunbathing, napping, and helping with toy sales, she liked playing with her crunchy ball and eating her favorite treats. Pickles was adored by the whole staff and clients alike and she is dearly missed.
