Our Care Team

After moving to Scottsdale, Tammy wanted to try something new in the way of a career. Because of her love for animals as well as having a lengthy background in business along with possessing strong interpersonal skills, she decided to pursue a receptionist position at Scaredy Cat Hospital. It was a perfect fit ~ Tammy values long-term working relationships and has been with Scaredy Cat’s since March 2004.

Tammy considers working for Scaredy Cat Hospital, to be one of the most rewarding jobs she has ever had. From helping clients and meeting kitties daily, to seeing numerous clients give loving forever homes to many stray cats in need. It always touches her heart when an older kitty finds a home as well as when they have successful adoptions, of which there have been many over the years! She considers SCH clients to be the best!

When she’s not at work, Tammy can be found enjoying walks, shopping and spending time with her husband and their pets.
