Linda Mohr

Linda A. Mohr is an educator, entrepreneur, and eternal animal lover. For more than thirty years she has shared her life with feline companions, notably Tatianna, Noelle, Taittinger, Marnie, and Katarina. The experiences of living with and loving these precious pets—and learning to tell them good-bye—has given Linda tremendous insight into the mysterious, often miraculous, human-animal connection.

Today she shares her Florida home with feline friend Lexie Lee, a stray Norwegian Forest cat who happily wandered into her life after Hurricane Jeanne.

As owner of Pet Apothecary from 1977 to 1989, Linda pioneered the first pet business in Palm Beach County that offered evening hours and one-stop shopping for medical, boarding, supply, and grooming services. Through running this business, Linda often witnessed how an owner’s love and devotion can help a beloved animal overcome seemingly insurmountable medical odds. This knowledge later helped her persevere through Tatianna’s treatment and inspired her to tell their story in the interest of helping other pet owners give their beloved companions as much quality life as possible.

In 2007, Tatianna—Tales and Teachings of My Feline Friend was published. The memoir is an insightful glimpse into the daily relationship and eternal bond she shared with an affectionate Siamese mix with breathtaking blue eyes. She continues to feel Tatianna’s wise, loving presence at work in her life.

A professor at Northwood University’s West Palm Beach campus, Linda received the Outstanding Faculty Award for five consecutive years, and was honored in Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers in 2002 and 2003. She teaches marketing and management courses as well as online business courses where her mission has always been to be enthusiastic, enlightening, and engaging. She has been affiliated with Northwood University since 1988.

She has a master of business administration from Nova University, a master of science from Purdue University, and bachelor of science from the University of Missouri.
