Missy became an assistant for Fur and Feathers Veterinary Care in October 2022.  Born to parents who raised show dogs, she fell in love with animals at a young age.  After graduating high school in 2002, she completed Animal Science 1 & 2 courses through BOCES, learning vet assisting, kennel attending, and grooming skills.  She volunteered at the Broome County Humane Society for a year and went on to become the small/exotic animal caretaker at Creature Comforts for over a decade.  She then worked for a year at Vestal Veterinary Hospital, and now proud to be a member of the Fur and Feathers team! 
Outside the animal world, Missy has volunteered 8 years of service as a firefighter. 
When home, she loves spending every moment caring for her little menagerie.
