Susie

Veterinary Assistant

Hello! I grew up on an alpaca ranch, which led to my Bachelor’s in Zoology. From there, I spent several years in wildlife rehabilitation before moving to the veterinary clinic world. I’ve been to all sorts of places including exotic clinics. Every species of pet is welcome to me, but there’s a special place in my heart for felines. I’m the crazy cat lady of the clinic, and I guarantee that no matter how angry your cat may be, I’ll love it like my own.

I have three cats of my own; Thunder (my big orange guy), Skaia, and Ketahn.
