Veterinary Tech School: Becker College
Lesley graduated from Becker College in Leicester Ma. in 1998, she then pursued a full time position at VCA Wickaboag right out of college and she has been here ever since. My passion for animals have led me to a supervisory position and I still love what I do! I fostered a five day old kitten when I first started at VCA Wickaboag, I bottle fed her and watched her grow, and now Drew is 15 years old. I have another cat Seymour who is eight and a three year old dog Kaylee.

Audra Floury
Veterinary Tech School: Becker College
My love for animals began as a child and would carry me to a job as a dairy farmer. From there I would continue my love of animals by attending Becker College and receiving my technician degree. I have worked for VCA Wickaboag since June of 1994 and I have acquired much knowledge and many skills during my career here. It is my goal to utilize those skills and knowledge to better the health and well being of all of all patients in my care. I share my life with three cats: Timothy, Peter, and the three legged cat Alice.

I am a veterinary technician, assisting in anything from routine checks to surgery. I’ve been doing this for just about 12 years. Given my line of work and now this new title, one can obviously come to the conclusion that I’m a passionate animal lover and advocate!
So, let’s just cut to the part where I tell you a little bit about my feline friends… I have 4 cats, Anthony, Goliath, Buckwheat, and Nicholas. As an owner, I have first hand experience with thyroid, heart, urinary issues as well as many other conditions. I know the challenges and emotions associated with caring for our feline friends.
I nursed and bottle fed my cat, Goliath, from a tiny kitten, who now as a grown cat shows his appreciation by being the friendliest kitty there is!
My other cat, Anthony, was surrendered with severe trauma to his back leg that required amputation. I fell in love with him, adopted him, and helped him to get the care he needed to survive. He is the sweetest most affectionate creature, and quite handsome, I might add!
Despite their seemingly independent attitudes, no two cats are the same, and all deserve special care and attention.
