Our Team
PAM, OFFICE MANAGER
Pam has been serving as Office Manager since 2008, but she has been with Clayton Veterinary in varying capacities since 2006. She has a degree in Respiratory Therapy from Northeastern University and spent 20 years working in the human medical field before deciding it was time to spend her days with furry patients. In between human and animal medicine, Pam and her husband Rick were foster parents for the State of New Jersey and cared for medically fragile infants & children, adopting 5 of them along the way. She also has 2 grandsons living in California with her oldest son. She and her family are very active in animal rescue and foster for a number of rescues and shelters, with a special love for the very tiny babies and the oldsters who need extra love and attention. Her current pet family consists of 6 dogs and 7 cats, but there are always extras! Pam is an avid Dallas fan (sorry Eagles!) and struggles to live life without her beloved Mountain Dew which she gave up last year.

Because of their busy travel schedule, Cindy and Brian do not currently have a fur baby, but Cindy has always heeded the call to be a foster mom when needed.

SQUASH, OFFICE CAT
Our newest resident kitty, Squash came to us mid-pandemic in the Fall of 2021 from the Gloucester County Animal Shelter. Originally here to be neutered and adopted out, Squash had a pretty loud heart murmur and was unable to be neutered at the time. We all fell in love with his sweet, spunky and goofy personality and decided he had to be an office kitty! This juvenile delinquent spends his days lounging about in his hammock, playing with his toys and begging for chicken from everyone. He loves interacting with our clients, watching the world through his window and has a severe addiction to Chicken PureBites.
IN MEMORIUM
UV, OFFICE CAT
UV was born in Woodstown in 2002 and was an integral part of the Clayton Veterinary team until his passing in 2023. His duties included supervising, greeting clients, and providing comic relief and comfort to all. UV was most often found “pretending” to sleep on his chair behind the reception desk as he supervised the staff and received admiration from clients.
IN MEMORIUM
EDO, OFFICE CAT
Edo was born at Clayton Veterinary in 2003 and was a beloved member of the office family until his passing in 2022. A shy fellow, he was not often seen by clients and preferred to spend his time in the staff only areas of the hospital. There he held the very important role of offering love and companionship to the staff and doctors. He is dearly missed and lovingly remembered.
