I have always had a connection with animals, when I was 5 our family dog (Betina) was about 14 years old and I wanted her to jump up on her kennel, despite warnings from my mum not to do that, Betina bit me on my top lip.I still have a tiny scar to this day, ever since then I have known I wanted to work with animals. I think what has drawn me to our feline friends is the mystery they hold. I love the sound of a purring cat. I just melt away
I love working at The Cat Pad & Cat Clinic – it is an awesome group of people and everyone is willing to help each other grow. We share the same passion for our feline friends, we are always learning new things about them and sharing our knowledge which is wonderful. My goal is to make our patients and boarding cats feel relaxed and safe. I like to earn their trust and make a potentially stressful situation a more pleasant experience for them.
Elexis is my little feline shadow, she is everything to me – I love falling asleep listening to her purring away. She is 10 years old in December ’18, I have had her since she was12 weeks old, She is a Domestic Short Hair. She loves to bake in the sun and sleep on my bed. She is fairly lively and keeps me on my toes. In my spare time I love Dancing, going to see Musicals, Scrapbooking & Land-sailing. I also play World of Warcraft and am a regular at Supanova and Oz Comic Con.

I’ve always felt a connection to animals – cats in particular. They are of course unbelievably stunning creatures and each one is a character in their own right, but it’s their energy and the completely unapologetic way in which they immerse themselves into our lives with both love & sass that I adore. They are –to be cliché- “home” to me. To have a career or job within an industry that you’re incredibly passionate about is an absolute dream come true – I highly recommend it!
While I was studying my Cert 1 we were required to do a placement, and luckily The Cat Pad were more than happy to give me the opportunity. Upon approaching the end of my Cert 2 I found out they were hiring. There was no question in my mind that this was exactly where I needed and wanted to be. The Cat Doctor team is a family – and one I am both incredibly thankful and proud to be a part of. My goal is for every cat to be safe, loved and well cared for.
I currently have a one-year-old male tabby named Sir Thomas. I named him after the author of one of my favourite books “Utopia” by Sir Thomas More. I adopted him 6 months ago from a rescue and he has been keeping me on my toes ever since! He has been aptly nicknamed “Mr Meowgi” due to his not-so-subtle vocalisation when it’s breakfast/dinner time.
