Dr. Karen Miller-Becnel
Dr. Miller is a highly experienced veterinarian serving the cats and their owners in the greater Metairie area. Her special interests are in wellness care, internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, and senior feline medical and rehabilitation services featuring laser therapy which she has found to be very instrumental in aiding injured or arthritic cats.
History:
Dr. Miller, as she is known to most of her clients, has been married to Mr. Becnel for 20 years. She came to New Orleans as a young Texas A&M veterinarian and in 1973, became the first woman in New Orleans to open her own veterinary hospital. Times have definitely changed since then with many more women in the profession now! She built a second new free-standing hospital in New Orleans in 1980 and saw whatever type of animal her clients kept as pets. She sold that hospital at the end of 1999, having previously opened the Cat Hospital of Metairie in 1990. While she loves all animals, the new hospital was devoted exclusively to the care of her favorite animal---cats!!! She sold the Cat Hospital in 2015.
In October of 2016 Dr Miller opened a mobile clinic on the North Shore and ran that service until reacquiring the Cat Hospital in 2020. She also runs her non-profit-Art for Cats Sake that raises money for feline research. (www.ArtforCatsSake.org)
