  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!  

Hi-I'm Amanda!  I was ten when my life truly started. I arrived home from a friend’s house one weekend to find a tiny, white fluff ball in my room. That little fluff ball was my very first dog and I named her 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 like every other child, 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 and won a first place ribbon at our very first show. Due to behavioral issues, we had to retire early, but she has quite the collection of ribbons and received many titles.

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! My name is Araceli. I have lived in Moline my whole life, except for the four years I spent at Iowa State. There, I studied Animal Science and Spanish.

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 am a young and ambitious girl that puts all her heart into what she does. Over the years I have tried many things. A career in retail, communications, and IT work. All of which I was good at and learned to do very well, however these were not positions that made me feel whole. It wasn’t until recently that I found where my heart and presence belong-a career in which I feel as though I am doing something that matters and makes a difference. 

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.
