Anna, also known as 'Lucy' spent her early years volunteering at Best Friends in Mission Hills, taken by their no-kill mission.  Anna then changed her interest in medicine from people to animals, and wants to specialize in exotics and reptiles.  Oreo, her beloved hedgehog and Mushroom, her beloved hognose snake live forever in her heart.  Her free time is spent with her cats, Macchiato and Cheese, at concerts, or cruising in her muscle car.

Sami recently graduated with a B.S. in biology from the University of California, Los Angeles, where she studied on a pre-veterinary track and minored in anthropology.

We are saddened to announce that our lovely, grouchy old office cat Friskie has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. In her prime Friskie was a spry kitty with an attitude to match. Friskie loved her catnip and was always very firm with her expected dinner time, daylight savings time or not. Friskie loved cuddles, climbing on (and drooling on) her favorite people. She loved to pass the day exploring and meeting new lizards and birds. RIP Friskie. We all miss you so much!
