To Whom It May Concern:
I am a licensed veterinarian and the owner of Red Mountain Animal Clinic here in Birmingham who has known Terra Cotromano for greater than 30 years.
I initially met Terra when she worked as a Veterinary Assistant for Dr. Larry Britt at the Emergency Animal Clinic on 4th Avenue in Downtown Birmingham. I later employed her as Operations Manager at one of my other locations, Animal Medical Clinic East where she worked in the 1980’s. In the 1990’s she worked at the Red Mountain Facility as an Assistant as well.
In 1998, when Terra had the idea of creating an organization that would rescue animals in need, I provided considerable veterinarian services for the animals rescued by Terra and her volunteers. This practice has continued throughout the years. The numbers of animals that we have vaccinated, repaired broken bones, spayed, neutered, treated for infections and euthanized when necessary is countless
During the 3 decades that I have known Terra, I have known her to be caring, compassionate, dedicated and committed to animal welfare and the well-being of the animals that she has served. In all of my interactions with her, her primary interest has always been the well-being and proper treatment of the animals that have been in her care.
I have worked with Terra and her organization over the years because I believe that Terra’s passion and devotion to help animals in need is sincere. I have often offered veterinarian care to T.E.A.R.S. animals at no cost and have advised her on many occasions including the most recent situation that she called me regarding ill cats at her facility.
Having known Terra for 30 plus years and having worked with her in varied situations, it is my strong belief that she would always put the interests of the animals in her care above the interests of herself, her health or her own well-being.
Please feel free to contact me if I can be of further assistance.
Thank you kindly,
Jerome B. Williams, DVM
