Our Staff

Holley

Holley is a fresh faced and newly minted Cert 4 nurse.  She shares her house with her rats and a lovely sweetheart of a chihuahua.  She has her eyes set on higher things and is hoping vet school is in the future, with an interest in wildlife or exotics.  But for now, we are happy she has joined our team.  It is great getting the fresh opinion of someone younger than Mick’s laptop.

Hannah

You will see Hannah at the front desk which she runs with amazing aplomb.  She has a love for stationary, especially fancy sticky notes and paperclips.  Constantly smiling, she is never flustered and always organised. She joins us with a background in childcare, so we guess the skillset of dealing with unruly toddlers translates into dealing with unruly vets.

She now the owner of just one lovely dog, after losing one of her furbabies earlier this year.

Lynley

Nikita

Nikita joins us from the wilds of Pittsworth where she spent 2 busy and fulfilling years since her graduation form JCU in Townsville.   Her infectious enthusiasm and joyful energy spark up the surgery on a daily basis. Ask her to list her favourite things in vet and you will be there all day – her interests range from dental to wildlife to the surgery.  She has 2 lovely and spoint cats of her own.

Fergus

Fergus came into our lives via the RSPCA.  After having lost our beloved Al, it was a long time before we could consider having another surgery cat.  But this cheeky guy won our hearts – even Michael’s.

It was a shock having a kitten around, and we are hard pushed to keep up with his antics.  But he is full of cuddles and purrs.  just what we need after a hard day.

Al – RIP

Al came to us as a 9 month old cat when we had first started the business.  At that time, we had the heartbreaking job of doing the euthanasia at the local pound. He was scheduled for the chop, as he was an ugly, skinny cat but he was such a gorgeous nature we didn’t have the heart to do it.  We put him up for adoption, but it wasn’t long before we realised he was destined to stay.  He now rules the back rooms, and supervises the girls at the desk.  An avid Carlton supporter, like Mick, he gets very grumpy when his team loses.
