Clinic Pets
Roxy
Hi! My name is Roxy! I have been living at 16th Ave since January 2022. My owners could not take care of me anymore so 16th Ave welcomed me with open arms. I am working really hard to trust people again, so I may be abit shy or hesitant at first! I love oranges and leaves. You may not see me when you are at the clinic as I’m sleeping away in the back, but just know, I am still the boss!!
Hospital Owner/DVM
Dr. Fareed
Hello! Welcome to 16th Ave Animal Hospital! My name is Dr. Fareed Ahmad. I took over the clinic back in May of 2019. I have over 20 years’ experience as a veterinarian and I am very excited to make this clinic my own! We have made tons of improvements at the clinic to future enhance our ability to treat and diagnose your pet. It is my goal to ensure you and your pet get the best level of care possible. At home, I have a 2 year old cat named Slushy who I adopted from North Toronto Cat Rescue. My goal is to treat every pet that walks, runs or hops through our door like they are my own! I hope to see/meet you soon!

Registered Veterinary Technician
Alex
Heyo! My name is Alex, and I am a Registered Veterinary Technician here at 16th Avenue Animal Hospital. I started at the clinic back in 2017 to get credits for my veterinary assistant program. Then, in 2018, while starting my technician program, I started working part-time at 16th Ave. After I finished my program in 2021, I immersed myself into animal care full time at the clinic and am one of the most familiar faces you will see at the clinic. When not at the clinic, I am at home giving my fur babies, Bear, a Samoyed, and new addition Ella, a senior rescue cat who use to live at the clinic, all the attention!
Sara
Hi there! My name is Sara and I am a Registered Veterinary Technician here at 16th Ave! I graduated from the Veterinary Assistant program at Seneca in 2021, and then I graduated from the Veterinary Technician program in 2023. I have been around animals all my life. In my free time, I love fostering dogs and cats of all ages. I have two foster fails, a kitty named Raven and a dog named Kubo.
Veterinary Assistant
Karen
Hello everyone! My name is Karen, I started at 16th Ave back in 2020 as a co-op student. I loved working with animals so much I decided to join the team part-time in 2021. My goal is to become a veterinarian in the future, I am hoping to start school in September 2022. When you visit us, you may see me greeting you at the door, taking medical history and helping Dr. Fareed with exams and treatments! When I first started my co-op at the clinic, there was a bunny who was surrendered, and I automatically fell in love, I decided to adopt him. His name is Alfie!
Ava
Hi! My name is Ava and I’m a vet assistant here at 16th
avenue animal hospital! I have always loved animals, so I decided to start
volunteering here in 2020. I enjoyed volunteering so much, I wanted to
expand my knowledge by having my co-op placement here! After finishing my
co-op, I started working part time as a vet assistant.
My goal is to go to school to become a Registered Veterinary Technician,
which I’ll be pursuing starting September 2025! I love animals of all
types, but I have always had a soft spot for cats. I have 6 cats at home,
and a dog who thinks she’s one of them!

Kathryn
Hi! I’m Kathryn. I joined the 16th Ave team just a few months ago! The clinic gave me an opportunity of my dreams – to work in a pet hospital! I am here to help book your pet’s appointments, make sure your pet’s vaccines are up to date and answer any questions you may have regarding your pet’s health. I have fostered Guinea Pigs for a local rescue and have a cat named Roxy!
