The Cat's Meow & Hound's Hideaway

 

My name is Colleen White and I was born and raised in Kalispell, Montana.  My career began in 1991 working for Ashley Creek Animal Clinic and during that time I received my certification as a Veterinary Technician.  In 2014 I also received my certification as a Dog Training Partner although I am not training now as I am still trying to get my bearings being a new business owner.  I have a blue heeler who is the joy of my life named "Ash" who is named after a Rottweiler I lost to cancer in 2015.  I also have two of the greatest cats named "Simba" and "Mai Tai".  Simba and Ash are the best of friends and keep me on my toes getting in mischief while Mai Tai prefers a lap or the couch.  I spend much of my off time camping, hunting, riding four wheelers or playing "chuck it" with Ash.



 

My name is Shallon Hinther. I spent most of my childhood in Washington state with just a couple years here in Kalispell in the early 90's. In 2012 I relocated my family back here to the Flathead Valley to stay. I have just begun working in the animal care world in 2013 and am loving every minute of it! Currently I am working in many positions of animal care including: Kennel Attendant at The Cat's Meow and Hounds Hideaway Boarding, Crematorium Technician at the Mountain View Pet Crematory, and Assistant at the Ashely Creek Animal Clinic. I find it a pleasure and very rewarding to care for all creatures great and small. I am also a mother of two, a son Dakota and daughter Paige. In our spare time my kids and I love to explore this wonderful valley and state! Many of our activities include hiking, swimming, camping, fishing, and hanging out at our local parks.
