The Johnstown Animal Hospital Staff

Suzanne Terrant, DVM Dr. Terrant graduated from The Ohio State University School of Veterinary Medicine in 1987. She worked for Dr. Sam Thomas in Bucyrus for two years before buying the Whitehall Animal Hospital. Dr. Terrant worked at Whitehall for ten years then started the Johnstown Animal Hospital to be closer to her children. She has three children adopted from Africa, Hassan, Susan and Yared. They all attend Johnstown schools and are active in soccer and cheerleading. Dr. Terrant has served 15 years in the US Army Reserve Veterinary Corps. She has participated in humanitarian missions in Peru, Alaska and Guatemala and was deployed to Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain and Kyrgyzstan in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003-2004. She is currently preparing to deploy to Afghanistan for 6 months beginning in July. Dr Terrant has worked with many rescue groups over the years and has a house full of dogs and cats. The goats, chickens and geese live outside along with all the other wild critters that inhabit her land. Dr. Terrant enjoys bird-watching, reading, hiking and camping in Montana.

She has worked with Dr. Suzanne Terrant for 9 ½ years, both at Whitehall Animal Hospital and Johnstown Animal Hospital. She has been a long time resident of Utica where she lives with her husband and 7 year old son. The other residents of the household include two fantail goldfish named Skywalker and Darth Vader, a Netherland Dwarf bunny named Sam that was rescued from a vacant apartment, two cats, Salem and Stubby, rescued from Whitehall, and an elderly mixed breed dog named Reggie who is always in trouble. Their latest edition is Chopper, a Great Dane mix found as a 6 week old puppy running loose along the highway. He is now 93 pounds and fairly well behaved but does like to counter surf. Her other hobbies include reading, writing children’s fiction, and spending time with her family.

Cathy Mayberry Cathy started working in Corporate America and did so for many years. She decided it was time for a career change and, due to her love of animals, moved into veterinary medicine.

Cathy has been with JAH for six years and her duties range from answering phones and scheduling appointments to feeding the wild birds and planting flowers.
