Ashleigh

Ashleigh was born at the old Werribee hospital and has remained living in Hoppers Crossing.

Upon completing Year 12, Ashleigh began working as an early childhood educator, however her passion has always been with animals. She has always had a knack of finding stray cats or injured birds whilst growing up, as well as having a variety of pets ranging from mice and budgies to guinea pigs. She has long dreamed of becoming a Veterinary Nurse.

Early in 2013, Ashleigh began her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing and commenced her training here at HCVC, which she completed in 2014. Upon graduating in March 2015, Ashleigh began working at a large and busy inner city animal hospital where she was exposed to various surgeries and treatments.

Ashleigh has recently returned to HCVC and enjoys all aspects of nursing and interacting with clients and their pets. She has a keen interest in geriatric care, surgery, reducing anxiety in cats and minimising stress in general with all animals in a veterinary clinic environment. Ashleigh has also worked as a cattery attendant which she credits to her becoming quite skilled at handling cats of various temperaments.

Ashleigh currently has 3 cats and a rabbit named Nooski!

Roberta

Roberta began her career as a trainee veterinary nurse with us in 1996. After a few years she left to pursue other interests including a science degree and a series of uninspiring jobs. She eventually returned to her love of animals and the clinic and is a skilled and passionate addition to our team.

April

April is our clinic cat who presented to us as a stray in April of 2015. We all fell in love with her from the day she arrived and after Frazer’s approval we decided to keep her as another clinic cat. She loves to meet other pets out in the waiting room. She can be found at the front desk snoozing in her basket or snacking on treats and her name-tag reads “Queen Bee”.

Gus

Gus is the latest addition to our team, joining the clinic in 2020 after being found as a stray as a teeny tiny kitten. He is super photogenic and a very funny character. He loves to help out in surgery and check on all our patients. When he is not following April around the clinic Gus will be playing with his toys or helping the nurses with their jobs. On the weekends he often has sleepovers for the weekend with Dr Kristi or nurse Rebecca and their families.

Frazer is our clinic cat who recently passed away at 17 years of age. He came to us after being found as a stray at a nearby school. After nobody claimed him, he adopted us as his new family.
