Qualified and Registered Veterinary Nurse
Jacinta joined our team in December 2017. Known as ‘the crazy cat lady’ by all of her friends and family, she is obsessed with all things feline.
Which pets have left paw prints on your heart?
“I have 3 cats!
Ollie is a handsome, DSH. I hand raised him from 2 day olds old, he’s the classic ‘grumpy cat’ but loves kisses from his mummy.
Louie is a fluffy, DMH, he is the smoochy, middle child.
Buffy is a real lady, she’s another DSH. She’s the baby of the bunch and is daddy’s little princess”.
Why did you become a vet nurse and what do you enjoy most about your job?
“ Dogs and cats can bring us so much happiness and offer up so much love unconditionally! I became a vet nurse so that I could offer animals that love and care in return. I want to make them feel better when they are unwell, to thank them for the joy they bring me.”
How do you relax when you’re not at work?
“I enjoy cooking and baking for family and friends. I’m actually gluten intolerant so I’ve learned to experiment a lot with different recipes.
I love to sew! My dad has been in the fashion industry all of my life and my grandma owned a boutique, so I guess my addiction started young!”
Share something weird or wonderful about yourself.
“Ummm…I love to make outfits for my cats and dress them up but shhh don’t tell anyone that! I actually can’t help but cover the patients in kisses when they’re here and I’m often guilty of leaving lipstick stains on their noses.”
