Alison Brown
Veterinary Nurse (BVN)
Alison has been a valued member of the Strathmore team for over four years. Small but mighty, she’s always ready to take on any challenge — whether it’s a tiny kitten or a large, energetic dog. Known as our resident “cat whisperer,” she’s the go-to nurse for wrangling even the sassiest of felines with patience and care. Alison loves being in surgery and comforting every pet that walks through our doors. At home, she has a chihuahua, Mia (pictured), and two cats, Felix & Edwin. Outside of work, she enjoys crafting, cross stitching, reading, gaming, and spending time with family and friends.
Machelle Caruana
Veterinary Nurse
Mac has been at Strathmore Veterinary Clinic since the beginning of time. She’s a true cornerstone of the clinic, known for her big heart, quick wit, and a special love for all the fiery little dogs that come through the door. She keeps things running with warmth, humour, and the kind of calm that only comes from years of experience (and probably a few cups of tea). At home, Mac is kept busy by her two spirited Jack Russell Terriers, Shirley Mae and Billy Rae. When she’s not wrangling terriers, she enjoys gardening and relaxing with a good book.
Kathleen Blandthorn
Veterinary Nurse (Cert IV)
Kathleen has been part of Strathmore Vet Clinic for over 3 years, bringing joy, laughter, and bright patterned scrubs to the team.

She enjoys caring for her senior patients, providing them with the attention they deserve, and offering calm, compassionate care during their most challenging moments. At home, she has 3 dogs: Chuck, Ralph and Winston, and 2 blue tongue lizards: Bruce and Borris. Outside of work, she enjoys volunteering at the animal shelter, baking, crafting, training Ralph in flyball, and running @ralph.and.winston on Instagram.
