Aubrey received her Veterinary Assistant certification from Redlands Regional Occupational Program in 2006. She has worked at several animal hospitals over the years but The Cat Doctor is her dream environment. What makes Aubrey special is her individual attentiveness to each cat and making sure all their needs are met, even if it's as simple as providing a play toy or hideaway box for kitty.
