Her first few months here were spent at the Wildlife Center of Virginia. She then joined Pender Exotics Veterinary Centre where she worked as an exotic animal veterinarian for the past year.
Lucy’s passions are exotic animal medicine and preventive care and she is keen to encourage wellness and routine visits for all your pets whether they are furred, feathered or scaled!
In her spare time Lucy continues to volunteer at the Wildlife Center of Virginia and helps run Operation Catnip; a charity for feral cats.
