Adjusting her practice
Kathy Seifert’s affinity with animals is mystifying. “You have to see it to believe it, and even when you see it you still don’t believe it,” said the Evansville veterinarian. “Quite frankly, I don’t understand it.” Some may refer to her as an animal whisperer. Some think she has a gift. But to Seifert, it’s a skill everyone has, it’s just a matter of being open to it and letting it through.
