Miranda started at Westwood Heights in November 2016 after graduating from the Douglas College Veterinary Office Assistant (VOA) Program. She  spends a lot of time with her "nephew" dog Emmet and enjoys many extracurricular activities with him. Adopting a pet in need from here is pretty much a rite of passage for everyone who works/has worked here so... all in good time. ;)

​Vivien started at Westwood Heights in May 2019 after she graduated from Sheridan College in Ontario. She has four cats - Marvin and Maddie that she fostered from one week old, but fell in love and had to keep; and two other cats that were surrendered, Morgan and Sugar. She also has a rescue dog from Mexico named Dusty. Vivien has lived in Vietnam and all around Canada, but she is here to stay, thankfully!

Mommy Cat came to us as a stray with her 3 kittens​ in July of 2009. She was adopted out 3 months later, but unfortunately was brought back as she was keeping the new owner up at night wanting to play. After that, we decided to keep her for good. You can find her on top of a fresh pile of laundry or playing with catnip.

Greg came to us a stray in August of 2018. He had eaten 30 hair elastics and was skin and bones. We had the endoscopy specialist come in and remove them all, and now he is doing great! We have had quite a few litters of kittens that we have fostered, and Greg loves to groom and play with them. He can never turn down a good treat.

Guppy came to us at approximately eight weeks old, as a stray with her two littermates in October 2020. She was born unable to use her back legs, but she scoots around just great! She is one of the most happy, affectionate cats we have ever met. She is always hanging out in the reception area, or with Greg, her best feline friend.
