Roo is our three-legged clinic kitty who has been with us since 2008. She was brought into our clinic as a small kitten with fishing wire wrapped around her now-missing leg and neck. Fortunately Dr Hoffman was able to save her and amputate her leg. Ever since she has lived a happy life at our clinic. You can typically find her sleeping in her shark bed on the front desk counter. However, she also enjoys sleeping in empty boxes and begging for someone to turn on the water from the faucet. 

Kelly's passion for animals brought her to CVC back in 1997 when she started working here as a receptionist. she is very organized and has excellent people skills, which keeps the clinic and staff running smoothly. She feels blessed to be back at CVC working with such a great staff. In her spare time she loves, gardening, reading, and going camping with her husband and daughter. You might see her walking her shih-tzu, Bella and Schnoodle mix, Oscar and we can’t leave out “Sharpie” our cool black cat.

Naomi graduated from Central Washington University in 2018. She started at CVC as a receptionist in summer of 2016. Her love for animals and passion for knowledge earned her a new position as Veterinary Assistant. While her schooling is incredibly important to her, her love for animals is just as important. She has worked in the animal field for the past nine years and is thrilled to expand her knowledge of animals here at Cascade Veterinary Center. She currently has two Chihuahua mixes named Missy and Paco, a terrier mix named Dory, and a cat named Polly. Although she only has four fur babies at this time, she intends to have a farm filled with animals one day.
