I am now well into my Cert IV in Veterinary nursing and I am constantly learning and developing my clinical skills with the fantastic team of nurses, techs and vets we have here at the clinic. Outside of work and studying I enjoy spending time with family, friends and my 2 little chooks Penny and Petunia. 


Taneesha Dalgleish


Taneesha joined us in 2021 as a newly graduated vet nurse. From a young age she realised she wanted to work with animals.

Since starting at The Cat Clinic she has realised her love of black cats and sphynx’s. While training to become a vet nurse, Taneesha spent her free time volunteering at her local cat refuge and looking after animals all over the Sunshine Coast where she gained the nickname ‘Auntie Taneesha’ for many of these loving pets.

She currently shares her home with a dsh Maxine, and fosters for Best Friends rescue so there is never a quiet time at home.

In her free time she likes to play TRL, catch up with her friends and cuddle with her animals.


Jolly Yang


Jolly is a veterinary nurse and a UQ Veterinary Science student. She interned at a conservation organisation in Greece where she discovered two things: she wanted to be a veterinarian and she loved working with cats. She dreams of rescuing and befriending as many cats as possible.

Jolly is the mother of 3 children: 1 human and 2 rescue cats (Harmony and Mort). 


Mia Troost


Mia is always willing to help out the Senior Nurses and Vets whenever need be. Since starting with us in December 2014 she has completed a Bachelor of applied Science in Veterinary Technology and is putting her skills to good use.  Her sweet and gentle nature is reflected by the way in which she takes care of the cats around the clinic. She has 2 lovely cats at home 'Earl' who she got as a rescue kitten and 'Casper' a naughty little Burmese.

Kerrie Rant


Kerrie joined The Cat Clinic team in March 2018 as a certificate IV veterinary nurse but has since completed her Diploma in Feline nursing. She can make your cats hospital stay as stress free and relaxing as possible with all her new skills. Kerrie and her husband Jordan share their home with 4 beautiful rescue cats 'Emma', 'Huckleberry', 'Razz' , and 'Toothless'.

Kerrie regularly helps us by fostering kittens who aren't quite old enough for re-homing yet, or who may need a little time to socialize before making the big move to their forever homes
