Meet The Team

Owners

Dr. Jacob Kay & Dr. Jaymie Kay

Welcome to our new clinic! Dr. Jacob Kay and I are happy to welcome you to Kay Veterinary Services. We both went to Mississippi State Veterinary School where we met. We got married in 2023, and now have a son, Jaxton who adds so much light to our lives. We also have 2 dogs, Presley and Ariat; along with a cat named Lt. Dan. In our free time we love to be with family and friends, play pool, and spend time outside. We look forward to serving the community and taking this opportunity!

Office Manager

Mahayla

Hello, my name is Mahayla. I serve as the Office Manager, supporting both our team and the clients we care for each day. I have seven years of experience as a veterinary assistant, having entered the field at sixteen. From a young age, I’ve always had a deep passion for helping animals, and that passion continues to guide my work.

Outside the clinic, I share my home with a lively crew of pets: three dogs—Moto, a 13‑year‑old Lab mix; Ayla, a 7‑year‑old Yellow Labrador; and Motley, a 2‑year‑old Black Labrador—as well as two cats, Rosie and Kiwi. As you might guess, Labrador Retrievers hold a special place in my heart.

Veterinary Assistant

Miranda

Hello, my name is Miranda, and I am a compassionate veterinary assistant who has been proudly serving at the clinic for nearly three years. I am dedicated to providing attentive, high‑quality care to our patients and supporting clients with kindness and professionalism.

Outside of work, I am engaged and a proud mother to my one‑year‑old son. I share my home with two beloved dogs—Roxy, a 9‑year‑old Pitbull, and Bailey, a 4‑year‑old Beagle. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially hunting, fishing, and riding four‑wheelers.

Veterinary Assistant

Maddie

Hello, my name is Maddie, and I am a veterinary assistant who has been proudly serving at the clinic for nearly four years. I chose this career because I have always felt a strong desire to help others and make a meaningful difference. I am especially passionate about advocating for those who cannot speak for themselves, and this profession allows me to fulfill that purpose every day.

Outside of work, I am a devoted pet owner to four cats: Rocky, a 3½‑year‑old male domestic shorthair; Logan, a 5‑year‑old male Maine Coon mix; Raven, a 4‑year‑old female domestic shorthair; and Widow, a 1½‑year‑old female domestic shorthair. If it isn’t obvious, I have a deep love for cats.

Veterinary Assistant

Haley

Hello, my name is Haley. I am a 2021 graduate of St. Mary’s High School, and I have known from a young age that I wanted to work with animals. When I got my first horse, Miss, at sixteen, I discovered my passion for large‑animal care. Since then, I have competed in contest classes and welcomed a second horse, Lumi, further deepening my connection to the field.

In addition to my horses, I share my home with three rescued cats—Ollie, Newt, and Moose—as well as a dog, also named Bo. I am also a proud mother to my four‑year‑old son, Easton, who enjoys spending time with the animals just as much as I do.

At home I have 3 pets, Snoopy, Oakley, and Fiona. One of the most rewarding parts of my job is helping sick patients progress through treatment, while also providing comfort to their owners.
