Receptionist

Loralei Valade

Loralei joined Liston Animal Hospital in the Spring of 2021, and had the pleasure of starting her career in veterinary reception working alongside Dr. Liston and the "original" crew in 2002. She is a multi-tasker extraordinaire, regularly juggling multiple phone lines, appointments, and curbside service, yet still finds time to share her quick-witted sense of humour. You could say she often has us in stitches.

Loralei is a self-proclaimed "crazy cat lady"; lovingly admitting that she is the obedient servant to any fur-baby she's had the pleasure to live with. At home, her heart belongs to Ono, an oddly temperamental, spry, 16-year old cat that she has hand-raised from eight-days old. She spends a lot of her time "trapped" under Ono, but it works well as she's passionate about knitting, crocheting, and other fibre arts which can all be enjoyed while in that cozy predicament. At work, she and Chippy quickly became the best of buddies, and most days Loralei can be seen catering to his every whim, including sharing her chair, typing, and answering the phone around him, and ensuring his favourite napping spots are fit for a king.
