Melissa B.

Melissa has been working in the vet field for over 10 years, and her special passion is feline medicine. Sassy kitties are her specialty, and she is known as the ‘cat whisperer’ by some here at the clinic! As a native Michigander and recent Phoenix transplant, she enjoys exploring the desert and all its weird and wonderful flora and fauna, as well as experiencing the rich and vibrant local culture and archaeological history. She is especially fond of petroglyph hunting and stargazing in the clear desert skies. She has two lovely older kitties, Poe and Nightingale, and a 21-year-old corn snake named Mocha-Gonna-Choke-Ya. When not whispering to the cats, she is working on her academic publications in anthropology, learning how to sew, and rocking the casbah!
