Dr Faye McPherson
Veterinarian & Practice Owner (BVSc)
Faye's first passion is her two children, Lewis and Karli, whom she thinks the world of. She has always been a country girl and loves living in a regional community. Her daughter has a chronic illness called Cystic Fibrosis so she is also passionate about raising awareness about this debilitating disease and hopes to help fast track a cure within her daughter's lifetime. Cystic Fibrosis is a lot of work for the family and a very worthy charity. It seems to fly under the radar which has meant she bangs the drum whenever possible.
Faye has worked all over Australia since graduating in 1991. She also has an identical twin sister, Kim, who works as a vet and has her own practice in Mackay, Walkerston and Marian. Faye worked in Emerald for a year then went to the United Kingdom for 2 & 1/2 years to work and travel before returning to Bowen where she stayed for 2 years and realised how beautiful this part of the world is. She has worked full-time at Bundaberg for 4 months, Scone for 6 months, Bunbury for 9 months, Kununurra for 3 months, Mt Isa for 2 years,and locumed in Gladstone, Mackay, Proserpine, Cannonvale, Moranbah, Longreach, Cairns, Ayr, Nambour, and Caloundra. She was waiting to meet Mr Right before settling down as she loves to travel.
Faye has always loved animals since growing up on the farm and finds being a vet an extremely rewarding career. What she most loves about working in Proserpine is the mix of clientele...farmers, retirees, tourists and all in-between. Working with animals is wonderful and never boring. Working in a close-knit community is extremely fulfilling, and the Whitsunday environment is the best in the world!!

Whether greeting patients with a wagging tail or simply being a quiet, reassuring presence, Spotty had a unique way of making every day brighter.

We are grateful for the time we shared and will always hold Spotty close in our hearts.
Forever missed, always remembered.

Joe Cat
Practice Mascot
Joe joined the Proserpine Vet Surgery family in August of 2024, and he has been ruling the clinic ever since. With his one eye, bold spirit, and unmistakable swagger, he has proudly claimed the title of Resident Pirate Cat.

Joe is a professional belly-rub enthusiast, a serial fur-producer, and a notorious lizard chaser. He firmly believes that any food left unattended is legally his, and he is not afraid to remind the team of this rule. He tolerates dogs with a dignified level of patience — provided they respect his authority, of course.
With his cuddly nature and cheeky pirate charm, Joe brings joy, chaos, and endless entertainment to the clinic every single day.

Smoochy yet mischievous, Joe takes his role very seriously. He supervises staff with laser-focused dedication, especially from his favourite post near the back door, where he watches every movement “like a hawk.” No delivery, no sneaky snack, and certainly no staff member escapes his notice.
Joe is a professional belly-rub enthusiast, a serial fur-producer, and a notorious lizard chaser. He firmly believes that any food left unattended is legally his, and he is not afraid to remind the team of this rule. He tolerates dogs with a dignified level of patience — provided they respect his authority, of course.
With his cuddly nature and cheeky pirate charm, Joe brings joy, chaos, and endless entertainment to the clinic every single day.
