Cathy grew up in the Pacific Northwest and now lives in Oregon City with her boyfriend, Mark. She has worked in the veterinary field since 2001 and joined the GVC team in 2019. She loves being a part of a supportive, encouraging team, dog and cat cuddles, helping animals in need, and loves seeing our patients so happy to see us because they know we are trying to help, and they trust us. Outside of work, she enjoys movies, reading, Christmas!, and running TV marathons. She is known for her ever-changing hair color (sometimes she lets her team members vote on the next color) and also enjoys sloths and a good stout.

Mia was born and raised in Israel. The job that made her begin her veterinary path was an assistant job in a large veterinary hospital in Israel. She had no prior experience working with animals, but once she started, she realized that this was what she was meant to do.

In 2012, her little family (her husband Ran and her golden retriever Messi) relocated from Israel to San Francisco. During the four years she was there, she completed her Veterinary Technology degree at San Juan College, earning her Certified Veterinary Technician license. She worked as a veterinary technician at San Francisco Animal Care and Control. Even though it was very emotional work at times, dealing with abused or neglected animals, she loved working at the shelter, especially when she was able to treat wildlife:  baby owls, raccoons, skunks, and even seagulls​!

In 2016, Mia and her family relocated to Portland, and she joined the Gladstone Veterinary Clinic team. They fell in love with the small-town vibe and all of the beautiful nature that surrounds Portland. In her spare time, Mia enjoys watching movies, reading sci-fi and fantasy books, and spending quality time with her family (both 2-legged and 4-legged).

Cassidy is a lifelong animal lover who spent her childhood around all sorts of animals. Since 2011, she has fostered hundreds of kittens and the occasional puppy from local animal rescues. When she’s not busy bottle-feeding orphaned kittens or being a doula for a stray pregnant cat, she enjoys spending her free time with her family which includes her senior cat, Daisy, and her cocker spaniel, Lyle. She joined the GVC team in 2022 as a hospital assistant and later became a veterinary assistant.

Ellie was born and raised right here in Portland, Oregon. Outside of work, they spend most of their time with their two dogs, Lucy the husky, and Beauregard the cattle dog mix – they keep them very busy! They also recently adopted a kitten named Phoebe from the Oregon Humane Society. Ellie is a film and TV buff and in their spare time, they also enjoy dabbling in photography and playing Dungeons and Dragons with friends. Ellie has a degree in Sociology from Washington State University, however working with and caring for animals has always been their real passion in life. They joined the GVC team in late 2023 with 4+ years of experience working with dogs and cats. They look forward to many more years to come!
