Michele Plessnitzer - practice manager and owner

Michele completed her Certificate IV in Veterinary nursing in 2010 and since joining us in 2011 has moved rapidly to become practice manager and part owner of the clinic due to her strong organisational and practical nursing skills.

Her experience with her own varied list of pets, be it dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, hermit crabs or reptiles complement the diversity of patients seen at Katoomba Vets.

Merin Foran - Head Surgical Nurse and owner

Merin is an experienced veterinary nurse who has worked with us since 2009. She is responsible for the smooth running of the surgical side of the practice. Her strong work ethic and interpersonal skills have made her a welcome member of the management team.

Merin has a broad range if interests ranging from giant breed dogs to roller derby. She is a lover and advocate of Greyhounds and helped develop the clinic’s relationship with Greyhound Rescue. Merin has lived in Katoomba for a number of years and this enables her to be close by in emergencies at the clinic out of hours. She also runs the puppy preschool classes.

 Megan Rutter

Megan is our newest member of staff and also a fully qualified Certificate IV nurse. She brings a high standard of care to all her patients and is seldom without a smile on her face. We are lucky to have found someone who has settled in so quickly to our day to day routine.

Megan lives locally in the Blue mountains and enjoys camping and four wheel driving. She has a soft spot for working dogs and often spends time on her family's farm out near Oberon.
