After graduating, she proceeded to gain 6 years of experience in the veterinary field. She’s had 5 years of experience in general practice veterinary, and 1 year in emergency veterinary.

She enjoys playing video games with her partner, and also loves to play music, typically 80s rock/hair bands, and she sings and dances around the house. While she’s singing and dancing, odds are she is also doing house chores or baking up a delicious dessert. Outside of the house, April and her partner enjoy hiking.

Gertie
Clinic Cat
Gertrude came to us as an injured barn cat at the beginning of 2023. After removing her right front leg, her owner decided that going back to being a working cat wasn’t a good idea for a 15-year-old amputee. It was then that we decided Gertie would stay with us. She loves people, giving her opinion on things, scritches and bossing Blubert around.
In Memoriam
Blueburt
Clinic Cat
Often called the best but worst cat, you could usually find Blubert sleeping, begging for treats, laying in front of important equipment we needed to use, or trying to steal food from unsuspecting humans. His favorite snacks included rubber bands and house plants. He was a prolific hunter of mice, birds, and carbohydrates, and is missed terribly by his human staff here at MAH.
