Amy graduated from University of Maryland and received her Masters in Music from Rice University. She is a violinist with the San Antonio Symphony where she has worked for more than twelve years.
When not performing, she teaches private lessons to developing young musicians. Amy is very involved in improving the life of feral cats and has spent countless hours trapping, sterilizing, and educating the general public about their care. She is a reliable, hard-working, and go-to kind of person.
Amy has been a valuable asset to the SNIPSA team – manning the cat surgery area at our Big Fix clinics, trapping and transporting countless feline patients, recovering these same feral cats in her home until they could safely be returned, and participating in numerous weekend adoption events.

🐟 PET OF THE WEEK 🐟
Hi guys! I’m sure you’ve heard of an underdog, but what about an undercat? 😼 Well, if you’re looking for an example of one, you’re staring right at it! After an unfortunate run-in with a canine, it might be easy to assume I did not come out as the victor. Well, that assumption would be correct. Bearing my battle wounds as I stumbled into a Good Samaritan’s backyard, I was thankfully spotted and rescued. After a quick visit with the SNIPSA medical staff, it was discovered that in addition to the slash across my belly, I also had a broken pelvis. Don’t worry though! It wasn’t long after I was sewn up and had a few days of cage rest and antibiotics that I was already feeling better! ❤️🩹 Now, I spend my days running around as if nothing ever happened. I enjoy batting around my collection of stuffed mice, basking in the sunshine and—of course—eating! Thank goodness that cats have nine lives right? So, if letting me live out the rest of mine with you sounds like a fair deal, then submit an application to meet me today! 🐾

We said goodbye to our two favorite girls this afternoon!! 🥲💖 Tiff and Tori, two kittens that have been in our vet tech’s care since they were just days old, were adopted together. We are so glad they get to spend forever in each other’s company. 🐾💞🐾 Such a BITTERSWEET day!

Help us help Stumpy! 🐾❤️ This awesome low-rider came to us with a few behavioral issues that could only be resolved with training. So, we reached out to our friends at @lonestarstatek9 and they took him into their board and train program right away. In just a few short weeks, he has made significant improvements and is well on his way to impressing a potential adopter! Since training isn’t free, we are asking for donations to help cover the costs of his boot camp. 🙏🙏 Please click the link in our bio and contribute towards Stumpy’s training journey. Every dollar helps in making him the best boy he can be!

✨PET OF THE WEEK✨
I can’t fight this feeling, deep inside of me! Girl, you just don’t realize, what you do to me!🎶 Wowee is this little guardian of the galaxy just as cute as can be! We are high on believin’ that you will fall in love with Mantis faster than you can soar across the galaxy. Initially hailing from a litter of five, Mantis is the last one left. This San Antonio special might not be purebred, but she sure has a pure heart. As a Cattle Dog mix, you can anticipate Mantis to be full of energy, brains and loyalty. Originally bred as herding dogs, Cattle Dogs benefit from having a job to do so it is important that these pups are both mentally and physically stimulated. Despite her mysterious background, this pup is happy, curious and loving. She enjoys the company of humans and she prefers to be involved with whatever you are doing. So, if you’re looking for a new member of the family who is out of this world, then submit an application to meet Mantis today!🪐☄️🛸
