Veterinary Assistants

Lisa initially started at Compassion Veterinary Clinic as a volunteer in June 1998 and became a part time employee 3 months later. Often referred to as the 'cat psychologist' of the clinic, Lisa posseses exceptional knowledge of cat behavior, much of which she has acquired through personal experience and ambition. Lisa has rescued and cared for feral cats most of her life and continually works towards her dream of sheltering exotic cats.

Although Lisa loves all animals, she is a cat person through and through. She lives in Marlborough with her husband Paul, and their six previously feral cats who could not have found a more wonderful place to live.

Lisa belongs to the FCF (Feline Conservation Federation)

Brittney became a member of our staff in the fall of 2010. Although she came with some experience, we were impressed with how quick she was to prove herself and she did it well. Her thoroughness is an asset and she often surprises us by pointing out certain details we may have overlooked.

Animals are very comfortable with her as she is with them. She has become a very welcome part of our team. Her primary role here is as a veterinary technician, however she graciously helps as a receptionist when needed, a job she also does to perfection!

Tiffany has been a part of our CVC family since 2013.  She has worked in almost every position of our clinic  and is knowledgeable in several aspects of the veterinary field.

Being a human mother also, her maternal instinct makes her quick to tend to other's needs.  She will be the first person to tell you if something is a bad idea or dangerous, when you should see a doctor, or when you should speak up.  Tiffany has made a point to be the voice of her co-workers as well as out clientele, by pushing to make working conditions more desirable and treatment/patient care more streamline.  

Like most moms, Tiffany has the uncanny ability to recognize when someone isn't feeling well, confused or upset...and she will get to the bottom of it immediately!  We would be lost without our clinic mom, and are so happy to have Tiffany on our side.

Rachel joined our team during the height of the pandemic in 2020.  Like most veterinary hospitals at this time, we were understaffed and overwhelmed with the increase of new pets/clients, so Rachel was a very welcome addition!  We were quickly impressed and thankful for her remarkable ability to learn the job and help in any way she could.  Her positive attitude and sense of humor put our patients and staff at ease.  When we were about to pull our hair out, she was quick to get a laugh out of all of us with a snarky comment and revealing smile.

We really didn't get a chance to know Rachel until after things calmed down a bit.  Although slightly reserved, her hard work and dedication are truly impressive.  After two years of working with her, we have learned much more.  She has an extensive past of taking in/caring for pets in need...of all species!  She is currently the proud owner of an assortment of animals; 120 lb dog named Oogie, Coconut, the kitten, Sansa and Skeeter, the bearded dragons, and Morty, the Mouse.  She is a real sucker for bully breeds and anything with a squishy face, but loves all species with 'four legs or less'.  She is also an exceptional artist and has spent several of her early years bartending.  With a fearless ability to help terrified animals, she takes pure joy in the knowledge that she has helped ease their struggle.

Despite being somewhat new to the veterinary world, Rachel has managed to exceed our expectations and teach us all a few things along the way.  She was truly made for this line of work and we're so lucky that she landed with us!

Bio coming soon.
