Batmobile is our inspiration
The beginnings and the people running it
About
VetMobile started as a teenie weenie random idea in Angeline’s head in 2012. She has the tendency to come up with silly ideas. The idea was forgotten for a long time. Just as Angeline was going to quit her job in Hong Kong and even contemplated giving up vetting, the idea re-emerged!
Batmobile is our inspiration. We aim to deliver quality consistent housecall service to pets in need. Through a combination of Western and Chinese medicine, we hope to help your pets live the most comfortable and fulfilling life they could have.
In 2018, we started locuming at SPCA’s community clinic. SPCA is like a big family. Shelter work can be stressful and sometimes we get on each other’s tails. However, we are impressed by the generosity of everyone we have met there.
In 2019, we finally got our vehicle—- a bright yellow hatchback!
In 2022, we got Nurse Mesh and then Charmaine on board! Also, we rented an office!
VetMobile is slowly improving and our dream is to start a vet hospice and daycare that is not yet available in Singapore!
We are all Fear Free Certified and members of IAAHPC (International Association for Animal Hospice and Palliative Care)! Also, VetMobile is now a member of raiSE, a commitment we made to be more socially aware and to be a positive addition to the community.
Team
Dr Angeline Yang
Graduated from Massey University, New Zealand, in 2011. Since then, she has discovered a niche in vet care that is still rudimentary and could be improved. Her current focus is on geriatric and hospice care. In 2023, she achieved TCVM Palliative and End-of-Life Practitioner Certification from Chi University.
She is also a firm believer of holistic treatment and preventive medicine. She practices Traditional Chinese Medicine together with conventional medical knowledge and is a certified Vet Acupuncturist with Chi University since 2016. TCVM has so much to offer she has never stop learning!
Her patients are not limited to cats and dogs. She welcomes all other small critters— rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, chinchillas, tortoises—into her consultation room.
A person with multiple interests, she enjoys unicycling, aerial hooping, bouldering, biking, doodling, knitting, reading, traveling and exploring new places. She spent a year practicing in Hong Kong before returning once again to the sunny island. Dr Yang has been learning Japanese since 2007 and other than her yearly pilgrimage (curtailed by covid) to Japan, she enjoys practicing the language when she gets the opportunity to do so. Her dream is to own several laying hens, a small vegetable farm, one greyhound, one cat two cats three cats (we adopted 5 since we started VetMobile…and 2 at parents’ place) and an alpaca or two
Choo Zheng Hao
Graduated from Imperial College, London, in 2012. He has been active in the circus scene since university days. An avid juggler/ rubik’s cuber/ knitter/ math-lover/ multi-talented individual, Choo taught circus arts to children in Singapore and spent a year teaching Math in Hong Kong.
After his stint in Hong Kong, Choo took up the challenge to learn veterinary skills. He has been enjoying it so far. His calm and composed demeanour has proven to be useful in this sometimes hectic industry. He has a soft spot for whippets and greyhounds.
Mesh
Mesh has been in the veterinary industry for the past 5 years. She is always ready to learn and putting animals first. She learnt grooming, so she could groom Guru and other geriatric dogs as well. Her dream is to own a geriatric pet grooming company! Through her experience with Guru and her other pets, she would like to improve and provide quality geriatric and palliative care services.
Mesh ended up with an additional pet bird because she saved him from a bunch of bully crows. Mesh has a good heart and we hope she finds joy and fulfilment while working with us! (until she gets to open her dream grooming service)
Charmaine
Charmaine has a diploma in Vet Tech and she met Dr Angeline during her internship at ARVC more than a decade ago. Both of them were newbies then.
After her internship, she decided to pursue her other passion— dance! She completed a BA in Dance and have been performing, teaching, and choreographing for about 7 years now. Because of her love for cats, she part-timed at Cat Cafe Neko No Niwa for the past 4 years.
She would love to debunk all the myths surrounding strays/community cats and is a huge advocate of cat adoption. She’s quite popular with the cats in her neighbourhood too!
