Dr Adri Rossouw
BVSc MRCVS CertAVP SAM (Fel. Med.)
Ever since I can remember, I wanted to be a vet. I qualified from Onderstepoort, Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria, South Africa in May 1992. I moved to the UK in 1998 where I worked as an assistant vet in Lincolnshire, Kent and Worcestershire before moving to Norfolk as a partner in a small animal veterinary practice in King’s Lynn. 15 years later I retired in May 2023 but missed working with animals, so I returned to the profession on a part-time basis as a locum at a few local independent practices, including Sutton Bridge Veterinary Clinic.
Over the last 5 years, I pursued my life-long veterinary dream of specialising in feline medicine. That dream came true in June 2023 when I passed the last module of my studies to obtain my CertAVP Small Animal Medicine (Feline Medicine) certificate. My other passion in the veterinary field is surgery and I enjoy orthopaedic as well as soft tissue surgery, I am also an Official Veterinary Surgeon and in this capacity am able to issue Animal Health Certificates for travel of pets to Europe.
Outside of work, I enjoy cycling, walking and gardening as well as pottering about in the kitchen baking, cooking and making jams and marmalades. As a Christian, I am also very involved in the Christian charity Loving By Giving. With the charity, I have helped to build churches and orphanages in both Romania and Tanzania and we are involved in a prison ministry as well as in the local community in Costessey in Norwich.
At home we have a hand-reared tuxedo cat called Karolus that turned 14 in June. Our garden has been adopted by the village peacock, two rescue hedgehogs from the RSPCA, various garden birds and a squirrel we named Squirrel Nutkin.
Dr Luciano Nebiante

Outside of work, Luciano enjoys a variety of sports, and he loves being outdoors.

Practice Security

Kevin was adopted by our receptionist Sherrie at 9wks old. Kevin then very quickly adopted the role of ‘practice security’, although he has been known to fulfil the role of support dog for any anxious patients.
During the day Kevin enjoys napping, sleeping and
taking the occasional nap.
He likes to take long walks at lunchtime making sure he leaves just enough energy for a power nap when he gets back to the surgery.
Kevin’s default position is upside down in his favourite bed!
Please feel free to ask about Kevin when you visit us.
