A long-term volunteer turned SNIPSA superstar, Kayla is SNIPSA’s Lead Veterinary Technician!
Kayla has over 10 years of veterinary medicine experience that includes general practice, emergency care, and specialty cases. She felt a calling to SNIPSA’s rescue mission because she wanted to care for animals on a deeper level and serve as a true voice for the voiceless.
A day in Kayla’s life at SNIPSA includes overseeing surgery operations, completing workups for new intakes, coordinating vaccine appointments, inputting medical records, medicating animals, and bringing our sickest rescues and bottle babies home for the weekends. Every day at SNIPSA is a new adventure, and between surgery days, Big Fix clinics, and normal operations, there is always a cat or dog in need of her care.
Kayla was born and raised in San Antonio and joined the SNIPSA family in early 2025. She lives with her boyfriend Gabriel and their big family of animals: two dogs named Ella and Rango, 3 cats named Wanda, Hashbrown, and Francine, a leopard gecko named Twinkles, two freshwater fish tanks, and four hermit crabs. In her free time, Kayla loves reading, gardening, and playing soccer!
