Lisa
Kates
Veterinary Assistant & Receptionist
Lisa’s interest in animals began early in life. In high school, she took ROP Animal Care (for zoo animals) and soon after starting the class was hired as an animal caretaker.
After graduating high school, Lisa started working for a local veterinarian. She then took a break to pursue more schooling, get married and raise four children.
During this break, she began competitively showing her Labrador Retrievers. Later, she worked with and helped rehab local wildlife at Sunshine Haven Wildlife Rehabilitation Hospital.
Now Lisa has joined the team at Sacred Hearts Veterinary Hospital which she says is filled with amazing people that share the same passion for animals that she does.
At home, Lisa keeps busy taking care of four dogs, two cats, one bird, fish and five lizards. She also cares for foster “fur babies.”
