Dr. Bean purchased The Cat's Meow in August 2001. Prior to this big change, she provided house calls throughout most of Tarrant and Parker counties. Her mobile practice allowed more time with her sons during their high school years. Before starting her mobile practice, Dr. Bean practiced medicine at Wedgwood Animal Hospital in Fort Worth (1979-1996). She is currently fulfilling her dream of owning a feline-only practice. In her free time, she loves the beach and everything about it, as her trinkets are all tropical fish and palm trees; she even has a saltwater aquarium and an outdoor pool & deck in tropical theme. She enjoys cooking, gardening, and Bible study. On Saturday mornings, she participates in an organization that provides ministry and education to some of the homeless people in downtown Fort Worth. The ministry group is currently teaching selected "students" how to get back on their feet and get back into the working world. Dr. Bean is very close to her 3 adult sons, Zed, Preston, and Jake, and their families. They are her pride and joy. She is very excited that she is a grandmother for the first time (Alison, Jake's wife, delivered Addison Marie Bean on September 12, 2007). Congratulations to the entire family!!!
