Hello, I'm Lisa!  

I've been a veterinary assistant for 15 years and am excited to be here at Lighthouse Veterinary Care for Cats! I was born and raised in Norfolk and currently live in Chesapeake. My husband is proudly serving our country with the Navy and we have a handsome, energetic 3 year old! I also have an 8 year old Tuxedo cat named Sushi who gives us a lot of joy!

I've always wanted to help animals since I was little, it sparked from feeding the neighborhood cats. I told myself that I never wanted them to go hungry. I attempted veterinary technician school years ago and I'm hoping to restart again in the near future. My favorite part of the job is seeing the pets heal from sickness or injury. My hobbies include going to theme parks, the beach, mountains, and sports events with my family. I'm so excited to get to know you and your fur babies!

Hello, I'm Tamyra!

I have loved animals since I was young, and as soon as I was old enough to be able to work with animals, I started volunteering. I first started in middle school at a nearby farm. I continued to volunteer there and at the local humane society while working to achieve my silver award in Girl Scouts.

I love to read, hike, travel, explore foods at new restaurants and volunteer. As for pets,  I have two rabbits - "Cali", a 5 year old Mini Lop who is very feisty but loving and "Ebony", a 6 year old Flemish Giant mix who loves to eat just about everything. I also have "Kit", a 2 year old Bearded Dragon who loves to sleep anywhere regardless of the time of day.  My favorite part of my job is being able to help cats get the care they need, and helping clients keep their fur babies healthy and happy! 

Hello, I'm Malikah! 

I am the part-time virtual office assistant. I am excited to join the Lighthouse Veterinary Care for Cats in its mission to provide your furry friends with superb care! I was born in New Jersey and raised in Delaware. I also spent many years in the Virginia Beach area where I earned degrees in Biology and Public Health at Old Dominion University and Eastern Virginia Medical School.

I currently live in the Washington DC area and am the proud mother of "Zoey" who is a very energetic two-year old Tortoiseshell and also the virtual clinic cat. The newest addition to my home is "Levi" a young kitten who loves to play and watch television.  In my free time, I enjoy cooking, going to the gym, spending time with Zoey & Levi and trying new restaurants. 

Hi! I’m Zoey!

Hi! I’m Zoey! I am the Virtual Clinic Cat… I live in the Washington D.C. area with my mom, Malikah, and my new brother Levi,  but I love to visit Virginia Beach and pop into the clinic…I love that this place is just for cats. No barking, no dog odors, no commotion. It really helps to keep me calm especially since I am usually the life of the party….I am sure you have seen the posts about me on Facebook - scaling a tall cabinet, jumping on the kitchen table, sailing over the heads of guests sitting on the living room sectional. What can I say, I just like to move. I hope to meet you one day when I come into the clinic, until then check me out on Facebook…
