Jimmy Choo
Security
Jimmy Choo is a rescue cat who we have been hosting for quite some time. He is young at heart and like to cause lots of trouble. A LOT! His love/hate relationship with humans make him even peskier as he can be quite the moody kitty. He enjoys harassing dogs and our older lady cats and can often be found chewing up the toilet paper, scratching the walls, eating things he is not supposed to or snoozing on top of the fridge. There is never a dull moment in the clinic with Jimmy Choo around!

Sarah Jama
Veterinary Assistant
After returning home from my time in the military, I decided to pursue my degree in Veterinary Technologies from UMA. I have two small children who are my world and I absolutely love playing with, teaching and watching them grow. Kai is our ever-loving Siberian husky girl who completes the family. When I'm not working or at school, I enjoy going to the beach, hiking, camping, or taking the little ones exploring to new places.
