Meet Alana & Marty 🐾
Alana is the Operations Manager here at VSA and Sweet Pea Marvellous Martyn (Marty to his friends) is her beautiful boy.
Alana has worked at VSA for almost 15 years and was previously the Head Nurse at our Sylvia Park hospital. It was love at first sight for Alana (swipe to see baby Marty) who had always wanted a red Exotic Shorthair kitten. Alana also has two other cats, Barry and Pearl but Marty is the baby of the family, which at 2 years old and 7kgs we aren't convinced is still an accurate title! 😉
Isn't he handsome!

Today is a big day at VSA, we are celebrating Dr Richard Jerram’s 20th anniversary!
There aren’t enough words to express what Richard means to not only us that get to work with him every day but also to all the clients and pets that he has helped over the last two decades.
For everyone that has met Richard you will know that he is an amazing person and an extraordinary surgeon. He is the backbone of VSA and we are so lucky to have him as one of our own.
Congratulations RJ, here’s to the next 20 years! 🍾

Couldn't have had a better business partner for the entire second half of my career. It has been a pleasure and a privilege.
Congratulations Richard & much love from Casper (I think she loves you more than she loves me judging by how excited she gets each time she sees you even after her 3 surgeries!). We appreciate you very much & are so grateful for your knowledge, expertise & kind, gentle, caring nature.
Congratulations Richard! We are all so lucky to have you as a colleague and friend! We at Timaru’s Family Vet are especially grateful to you for looking after our superstar cat Princess.
What an amazing human! Congratulations Ricco, miss you loads! from Lorraine 😜🎉
Congratulations Richard. You performed surgery twice on our beautiful girl Romy 💕🐶. After one of the biopsy, were going down to the snow and you took the time to call me with an update after clinic. Thank you for your big heart.

Meet Kai 🐾
Gorgeous Kai has been a very intensive but extremely rewarding case for the whole team at VSA Sylvia Park. He has won the hearts of the whole team but after 60 days in hospital we are so happy to be getting him ready to go home to his family this week.
Kai was referred to us in mid August after his vet in Papamoa discovered he had a urethral tear.
Kai was seen by Dr Laura Kelly in our VS A&E team for stabilisation before being referred to our specialist surgeons, Dr Kyle Clark and Dr Richard Jerram for further diagnostics and treatment.
The team knew very early on that Kai’s injury was serious but none of us realised the long road we were about to embark on with this gorgeous boy and his incredibly trusting and committed family. Auckland going into level 4 lockdown meant Kai’s family couldn’t visit and relied on daily updates including phone calls and photos.
Over his time with us, Kai has had 11 general anaesthetics for urethral repair surgery, 3 skin flap surgeries, 7 wound debridements and 1 central line. He has also had 2 oesphageal feeding tubes, 4 epidurals and 13 sedated bandage changes.
We couldn’t be more proud of our “King Kai” and we are sure there won’t be a dry eye in the hospital when we finally see him go home on Friday afternoon.

Wow, he’s certainly been a brave soldier. Good on his owners, obviously a well loved cat, just as it should be. I’m sure he will be missed by all the staff, but in a good way! 💕
Oh my gosh, what a long road, extremely dedicated owners, and an excellent team effort. Well done to all! 💕🐾
Way to go Kai
Aww what a dude!! 🥰
Brave boy!
