Georgia

She completed her nursing certificate in 2017 and has been loving every moment surrounded by her patients, treating each one with care and patience. Georgia has over 6 years of nursing experience and while she took a break from the industry after Covid, she has returned to the vet world, which she has missed dearly. Georgia is our newest addition to the team, having joined in early 2025. When she isn’t covered in fluff, Georgia enjoys reading, playing video games and finding new recipes to master.
Alfaxan
The Naughty Clinic Cat
Ryde Veterinary Clinic adopted Alf when we were unable to rehome him. He is the cheekiest boy on the planet, but with a face like that, how could you not love him? His favourite activities are leaving footprints on everyone’s cars and demanding a second breakfast. He tries his best to help at the front desk, but he is easily distracted by chin scratches and the promise of more food. We think a performance review may be due soon….
Eclipse
The Naughty Clinic Cat
This beautiful girl came to us as a shy kitten alongside her sister. Eclipse applied for permanent residency at Ryde Veterinary Clinic, and we gladly approved in 2010. She enjoys sunbaking all day and loves her food. Eclipse has the most adorable meow that is more like a squeak and she is an expert at getting your attention with it. She is a little too shy to help out around the clinic, so we let her be a free-loader, mainly because we love her.
