Veterinarian Overview
Originally from Cleveland, Dr. Kathi Heiber earned her degree in veterinary medicine from the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1979. Her first few years in practice in Brewster, NY were spent treating companion pets as well as farm animals and horses. In 1984, Drs. Heiber and Cindy Kosacz founded South Putnam Animal Hospital in its present location in Mahopac, NY. The hospital was built to provide a high standard of veterinary care that they would want for their friends and family to receive for their beloved pets. Dr. Heiber is actively involved in the community, and presently serves on the Board of Directors for Cornell Cooperative Extension of Putnam County and the Friends of Mahopac Library. She is also a leader with 4-H youth development programs that work with local youth interested in veterinary medicine. In addition, Dr. Heiber volunteers for AFS International Exchange Student Program welcoming students from foreign countries and supporting families who host students in their homes. When Dr. Heiber is not practicing high-quality animal medicine or doing community service, you may find her riding her thoroughbred, Big Grin, or Arab Shagya mare, Lily. She also has a Jack Russell mix and two adopted cats. Dr. Heiber enjoys spending time with her husband, cooking through the seasons with fresh local produce, and exploring new cuisines.
