Lottie
Hi, I’m Lotti, a vet nurse with 2+ years’ hands-on experience, certified by TAFE Queensland. My skills cover animal welfare, parasite control, surgery, and anesthesia. My childhood on an acreage nurtured my love for diverse animals, from ducks to chihuahuas. I cherish outdoor adventures with Sonny and Lulu and quality time with loved ones.
Kath
I’m Kath, manager at Hope Island, working with Dr. Rory and our vet team. We’re all about a Fear Free approach for stress-free pet visits. With 30+ years in animal health, welfare, and training, I consult for Animals Australia, ensuring rescued animals find happiness. I offer behavior management consultations and run puppy school. Proud pet parent to 2 rescue parrots, Buddy & Bruce, and soon a Jack Russell pup. Love horse riding and sunny days!
