  Hi!  I’m Annie and I’m considered the “cat-lady” of the clinic although, NOT a crazy one :)  I blame my mom for transferring her love of animals to me.  I snuck my first rescue kitten into a hotel in Chicago when I was about 10 years old so I could bottle feed her every few hours.  I covered her shoe box with a blanket and no one ever knew.  Growing up in the country, stray cats were a regular occurrence.  If they would let me touch them, they didn’t stay stray kitties for long (side note-bacon bits and butter are great tools for taming, but don’t tell the doctors I said that .)  The worst part about leaving home for college was leaving my kitties behind.  Stuffed animals are NOT the same thing!  

I was ten when I discovered my passion in life. I arrived home from vacation one weekend to find a tiny, white fluff ball in my room. That little fluff ball was my very first dog and her name was Emma. Emma was an American Eskimo and throughout our lives together, she was my main frustration, yet my best friend. I received Emma as a present shortly before my 10th birthday, however, our plans were different than most. Emma and I began obedience and agility training at a young age. We traveled around the Midwest to various agility shows. Due to health issues, Emma had to retire early, but she received many titles and has quite the collection of ribbons.

I graduated from Black Hawk East in 2021 and have been working in veterinary clinics ever since.  I love both cats and dogs, but have a special interest in cats.  My love for felines has been here since I was little. 

Hello! My name is Emily. I have always had an interest in spending time with animals. After a few years of working with people, and volunteering at a local animal shelter I was able to join the Blue Grass Veterinary Hospital family. I am so happy I got this opportunity!

Hi I’m Aliza! I grew up in both Davenport and Muscatine and I’m currently living in Davenport. I have wanted to work with animals my entire life as they are my favorite things in the entire world.

I grew up in Muscatine but moved to Davenport at the age of 21.  Cats have always been my favorite animals growing up as that was the only pet my parents would allow us to have, besides fish and the occasional hamster.  I would have a tendency to bring home every stray cat I found in the streets and hide them from my mom, but it never worked.  She would find out and had to tell me to quit bringing home stray cats because we couldn't afford to keep them all.

Hello! My name is Karissa. I have a beautiful daughter and wonderful fiancé, along with our dog Shade and 2 cats, Anakin and Harlow. When we're not tending to our animals, we're always outside exploring. On my own downtime, I love to read, draw and dance around our house with my daughter.
