Meet Tresa
Tresa always knew she would work with animals. Even as a little girl she was rescuing birds, reptiles, cats, etc. and bringing them home. She started at Oakley Veterinary Medical Center in 1996 as a receptionist, but, because she preferred helping with the animals, she was made a veterinary assistant in 1997. Tresa's experience is working with birds, pocket pets, reptiles, and of course dogs and cats. When not working part time, she is a full time Mom and enjoys spending time with her son, husband, and her own zoo at home which includes 3 birds, 2 cats, and 2 horses.

Meet Spider
Spider got her name because she was found wandering Antioch around Halloween in 2006. She was very thin and had a painful mouth. After a few teeth being removed and a lot of love and cookies she is a fat happy kitty again. Very playful and likes to help type on the computer. Our guess is she is about 9 years old.
