Victoria Goodwin
Veterinary Nurse
Duchess Alexandra (aka Alex)
Alex was brought into our clinic as a stray kitten in 2018 and immediately captured the hearts of all our staff. Ever since then she has kept us all incredibly busy chasing her up and down the halls and finding bags of food with suspicious cat bite-like holes in them.
Alex’s duties within the clinic mainly consist of hospital entertainment and keeping our patients company in the kennel room during their stay. You will typically find her perched on a window seal or busily patrolling the clinic floors.
