Connie

 Client Care 

Connie came to us in April, 2008 after many years of work in a large specialty practice. The thing she most enjoys about working at Cheshire Cat is the chance to get to know each client and patient individually. She is especially interested in surgical medicine.

Connie is an avid Chargers fan and enjoys going to games. She also spends her time with her two boys and family and loves reading when she can get some personal time.

 

 


 
Janice

Veterinary Assistant  

Janice became part of our team in December of 2007 and we are so glad to have her. Janice functions as a "Jack of All Trades" and wears many hats in the clinic, performing both client care and technical duties. She is presently learning more technician skills such as venipuncture and cystocentesis.

Janice has the all important job of surrogate mother to Babies, the Persian clinic cat. She cleans his face daily, grooms his coat with the Furminator comb and gives him a lion cut when needed. He pouts when she takes a day off!

 

 

 

  

Jackie

Registered Veterinary Technician
 
Jackie, shown here with Dizzy, came to our practice in July, 2008 after moving from Northern California where she had just completed two years of veterinary technology with a GPA of 3.68. We are proud to announce that she breezed her state licensing exam and is now a Registered Veterinary Technician. Her primary interest is in Internal Medicine.

Jackie's home includes her amazing cats, Norah, Cole, and newest addition, Piper, who was adopted through the clinic.

  

 Heather

 Registered Veterinary Technician

Heather joined us in September 2008 but she may not be a new face to you. She worked at All Care Cat Clinic from 1999-2004 before she left to have her daughter. She returned to  Cheshire and fit right in! Drawing on her knowledge as a Registered Veterinary Technician, Heather likes to educate clients and help pets to live long, happy lives.

While in school, Heather had the opportunity to work with several exotic species both at the San Diego Wild Animal Park and Acacia Animal Hospital, a veterinary clinic that treats many bird patients.

Heather's home is inhabited by her husband, her daughter and Frankie the dog. Unfortunately, due to her husband's allergies, there are no kitties in the home but Heather gets her fill here at Cheshire Cat!

 

Fiona

Veterinary Assistant

Fiona is Janice's daughter. She practically grew up in the cat clinic and has been working her officially since June of 2008. She has grown by leapd and bounds and is quite skilled for her age! This year, she graduated from high school, took an amazing tour of Europe and is preparing to go off to begin her pre-veterinary courses at college. We are all so proud of her!

 

 

Raquel

Registered Vetrinary Technician

Raquel joined Cheshire Cat in February 2010 after working in several small animal practices around San Diego. She graduated from PIMA Medical Institute's Veterinary Assistant program in 2002 before attending Veterinary Allied Staff Education classes in preparation to pass her Registered Veterinary Technician examination in 2009. Additionally, Raquel volunteers her time with the Feral Cat Coalition and supports Project Wildlife.

Raquel's animal family includes Felix, her "very mean" kitty, two chihuahuas, Fibi and Tinker, and Mehly, a Cairn Terrier.

In her spare time, Raquel spends quality time with her husband and is an avid Charger Fan (Go Bolts!) She enjoys the outdoors and archery, and loves a yummy meal of sushi.
