Dr. Willett was born in Hastings, Nebraska as a Cornhusker. GO BIG RED. When she was 3 years old, she told her parents she wanted to be an elephant, so she could live with the animals. As she got older, she decided that a veterinarian was a good second choice. But being an elephant would be cool right?
Dr. Willett pursued her bachelor’s degree in biology at a private college in Nebraska, and then sought her DVM through Iowa State University, College of Veterinary Medicine. She graduated in 2012 and moved to the Florida Keys to practice at an AAHA double certified, fast paced 24-hour Emergency and General Practice Hospital. This is where she honed her skills for all species of animals. She has worked on companion animals such as dogs and cats, small and furry such as ferrets and rabbits, full of feathers with all sizes of birds, and scaly and slithery such as bearded dragon and snakes. She also donated her time performing surgeries on injured/debilitated sea turtles at a local Sea Turtle Rescue.
Dr. Willett has extensive knowledge in all forms of veterinary medicine and all species of pets. She is affluent in internal medicine cases such as kidney, liver and thyroid disease as well as diabetes, Cushing’s and other diseases. She has a vast knowledge of husbandry for all animals including birds, reptiles, small mammals and companion animals. She also enjoys soft tissue surgery including everything from normal spays and neuters, to large mass removals and abdominal surgeries. She understands the importance of routine dental cleanings and dental work to improve the overall quality of life of her patients. She strives to promote the human animal bond and keep the animals healthy and happy.
Dr. Willett enjoys outdoor activities such as tennis, hiking, fishing, diving, kayaking and all other water activities. She also enjoys spending time with her many animals as she boasts a zoo of her own. These include a Border Collie mix named Bentley and a Boxer mix named Red, 3 cats who respond to Olive Oyl, Gizmo and Lake, 2 snakes Pete and Lily who love to cuddle, 3 leopard geckos D’Artagnan, Aramis and Athos. Dr. Willett has also dealt with loss as well of 2 elderly cats TJ and Sissy, and 2 elderly chameleons Kuppa and Remington, a snake Lazarus, and 2 of her rats Mario and Luigi. She has also recently adopted 6 ducks who are enjoying their life living in her pond with the fish and turtles. Though she is close to her dream of living with the animals, she is lucky to also share her home with a two-legged companion who answers to Jim, and two tiny little tots named Charlotte and Evelyn.
I’m Becky, and as Office Manager, my job is to ensure your experience at Fur Feathers and Friends Veterinary Hospital exceeds your expectations at each and every visit. I’ve spent 20 years in customer service with 10 years in the animal care industry. The best part of my job is building relationships with clients and making sure your furry, feathery, or scaly babies are cared for like they are my own. I have two amazing daughters, a fantastic son-in-law, and 2 absolutely perfect grandchildren! I love cooking for and taking care of all of them. I also love to occasionally escape them! I love road trips with my mother (best friend), and I have the best boyfriend in the world. I have a very sweet and sometimes naughty dog named “Oliver” who is totally spoiled rotten. I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Meowdy! I’m Stephanie, one of the veterinary technicians here at Fur Feathers and Friends Veterinary Hospital. When I was a kid I would rather watch Nova instead of cartoons. I was born a yankee (Michigan) but consider Texas my home. I started at Petco after a parrot jumped on me at a petstore and stole my heart. I then realized that I wanted to work with animals in a medical setting, so I have been doing so since 2002. My mantra is “Animals…because humans are gross!” I enjoy all things macabre – murder mystery to bone puzzles. Balance that out with walks in nature, and eclectic coffee shops. After 11 years at a small animal practice, I found that I really missed working with Exotics, so I came on board with FFFVH. I really enjoy helping parents care for their babies and am a huge patient advocate. I am currently owned by my 2 cats – Bandit and Maybe, and my bearded dragon Melmac. They are all brats, that I love so much. I basically work so they have a cush life!
I’ve been a veterinary technician for about 18 years. I have four cats. The lowest number I’ve had in years. I love the outdoors and nature especially the beach. I surf as often as I can in Galveston. I’ve worked with exotics previously, but it’s been a while. I love learning so I’m eager to learn all about them. I also love music, and anything artsy.
I am Kathleen Talley but please call me “Kat”. I have not been called Kathleen since my high school days. I was born in Japan but have lived in Texas most of my life. I currently live with my husband Denny of 29 years, my son Jarett, and my fur family members Lefty, a boxer mix, Betty a pit bull mix, Cotton a domestic long hair cat and my newest KT, a domestic short haired tabby. All are rescues and our love for each other is mutual. If you see a motorcycle in the parking lot, that’s mine. I love to ride as often as I can. I also love anything outdoors, such as working in my yard, gardening, watching the alligators in my bayou and feeding the raccoons and possums that come out at night. My latest passion is helping the monarch butterfly population. I came to Fur Feathers and Friends Veterinary Hospital with 20 + years of experience working as a veterinary technician and receptionist. I love my job here at FFFVH and the staff is by far the best to work with. My goal here is to provide the best customer service to our clients each day and provide them with the attention they deserve. I love making people happy. So, to end this biography of myself I will share with you my favorite motto, CARP DIEM. Don’t take anything for granted, you never know when it will end.
