Dr. Gladys Tam

Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc), University of Sydney, Australia. Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist with Chi University and the World Association of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (CVA), USA.

After graduation I worked for four years in a private clinic in Sydney which also offered a lot of welfare work. The spectrum of welfare work included first aid for stray animals, community services such as low cost desexing and wellness consultations. Outside of work I also volunteered my time to teach vet students and assist with providing community services such as free wellness consultations for pets owned by the less privileged people. During my university years, I actively participated in animal welfare activities, being vice president for the animal welfare society, and teaching kids about animal welfare with therapy dogs.

Not a hard one to guess- welfare work! I’m a vet who likes to look at the bigger picture! I also enjoy the fast paced work the SPCA has to offer.

In addition to my two bulky ex-stray cats Darcy and Vincent who migrated with me from Australia, I have adopted three more animals. Two of those were foster failures from the SPCA – two felines Barney and Toby (Toby I bottle fed from a newborn). The newest member of my family is Tony, a mongrel puppy who was dumped in a cage with no food and water on a mountain in Hong Kong.

Zumba! I was a qualified Zumba instructor in Sydney. I also love cooking, I enjoy watching people eat what I have made…I am a feeder!
