For 25 years, Dr. Kathleen Meenan made Rippowam Animal Hospital her second home, known for her generosity, warm smile, and thoughtful care for every patient and family. Raised in Norwalk with a lifelong love of horses, she was deeply involved at the Getner Barn and founded Wishes for Horses, a foundation dedicated to equine therapy. A graduate of UConn and Kansas State University, she joined Rippowam in 2000 and later earned certification in Animal Chiropractic, expanding her ability to help animals of all kinds. Professionally gifted yet personally humble, Dr. Meenan’s compassion and dedication remain at the heart of our hospital.
