Cameryn Liu-Rattana

"I'm Cameryn, one of the veterinary technicians here at Bridletowne Warden Animal Hospital. I graduated from Seneca college in 2021 and have been enjoying my time as a vet tech ever since!

I love spending time with your fluffy family members, and I always look forward to meeting new puppies and kittens. I do have quite a few fluffy family members myself, along with some non-fluffy ones like lizards, turtles, snakes and an axolotl. When I'm not spending time with animals I'm usually outdoors exploring new places, watching scary movies or YouTube videos, or hanging out with my friends."
