Dr Tamara Albers

Dr Tamara’s interest in animals started early and grew alongside her interest in medicine. She studied science and pharmacy before completing her veterinary degree, which gave her a broad understanding of health and a practical approach to problem solving. Over time she found herself drawn to feline medicine. She enjoys interpreting the small changes in behaviour and health that cats often show and is committed to providing them with calm, expert care.

Dr Tamara is currently undertaking memberships in Feline Medicine, bringing advanced training to the clinic. Her pharmacology background, combined with her feline medicine studies, allows management of complex feline cases that might typically require referral. Dr Tamara plays a key role in maintaining our ISFM Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic accreditation.

Some of Dr Tamara’s most meaningful moments come from small interactions. A client who feels heard during a difficult visit. A cat that begins to relax because she has approached it with patience. These experiences remind her why she chose this work. She also appreciates the teamwork within the clinic. When the day gets busy, everyone steps in and focuses on the patient in front of them. It is one of the reasons she enjoys being part of the Casey and Cranbourne team.

When she is away from the clinic, Dr Tamara likes to spend time outdoors. Gardening gives her a quiet break from a busy week, and long walks or local hikes help her reset. She enjoys painting and often has a few creative projects on the go. Winter is her favourite season because it gives her the chance to ski and spend more time in the mountains. At home, she looks after several rescue cats who make life lively and full of personality.
