Maleri Moody
Veterinary Technician
Maleri was born and raised in Indiana, and was a compassionate animal lover all of her life. She grew up bringing home stray animals, many of which became lifelong family pets. In addition to cats and dogs, she had chinchillas, a ferret, a bird, and a handful of other pocket pets while growing up.
After graduating Maleri decided to go a different direction and pursue her passion for writing, attending journalism school at IUPUI. Years later, she began working at a pet care facility and realized that caring for animals was the dream she was meant to pursue. After gaining experience and knowledge with training, grooming, boarding, and daycare, she was eventually offered a management position, which taught her even more about pet care and customer relations. She and her boyfriend Anthony live happily with their own family of fur kids; Grimmis, the 140lb mastiff, is a giant but gentle momma’s boy; Bug, the polydactyl cat, is definitely a daddy’s girl; and Haze, the big sis and ruler of high ground, just enjoys being alone on top of the fridge or perched at her favorite window.
Although they have a perfect family of pets, Maleri is always open to adding more. She credits Anthony with being her better and less impulsive half when it comes to more pets, but also knows his heart is too big to say no if one “accidentally” showed up one day. She is grateful to have found her place at Cottage Animal Clinic where she can meet new fur-friends every day, and also live out her passion for helping each of them and their parents be as happy and healthy as possible!
