The Blackburn Veterinary Centre is part of the Kitten Adoption Scheme. This scheme has been implemented in many veterinary clinics and aims to find homes for unwanted kittens.

My name is Michelle and I'm one of the nurses at Blackburn Vet Centre. I just thought I'd share some pictures and information on my recent trip to Australia Zoo. I travelled up north with my partner Jason where we had the opportunity to see many of Australia's native animals up close at the Zoo.

If you happened to have visited us at Blackburn Vet Centre recently you most likely met a beautiful white cat by the name of "Mama Snow". This gorgeous 4 year old girl was originally found abandoned in a drain with her 3 young kittens earlier in the year.

Meet our new team member, Dr Fiona Turner. Fiona graduated in 2006 from the University of Melbourne. She has recently joined the team at Blackburn Vet Centre and has a special interest in preventative health care as well as dog and cat medicine.

Outside of the clinic Fiona enjoys spending time up at her family's farm with her big grey horse "Podgy", her little dog "Zoe" and a naughty tortie "Pickles". She looks forward to meeting you and your adorable pets soon.
