Get To Know Our Team
We’re pleased to provide exceptional vet care for your pets! We look forward to getting to know you, and we hope you’ll take the time to scroll down and get to know us.
Dr. Kira Scarangella
Dr. Scarangella is from Leonia, NJ. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from Drew University and her DVM from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. Dr. Scarangella joined our team in the summer of 2022. Her areas of special interest include surgery and emergency medicine.
After vet school, Dr. Scarangella moved back home to NJ to be closer to family and friends. She is so thrilled to be back in the area! Outside of work she enjoys being outdoors, exploring NYC, and exercising. She also loves spending time with her cat named Sammy, who is a gray tuxedo cat. He loves cuddles and treats!
Deborah Vayda

Debbie began working with Dr. Tuder 16 years ago as the Hospital Manager for our Hoboken location. She is now the Practice Administrator for the group and has over 30 years of experience caring for animals. Debbie is happily married for 10 years to her husband Bill. She has 3 children and 2 beautiful grandsons. She is also mom to Yoshi, a 14-year-old Chihuahua mix, and 3 cats, Macho, Isis, and Sheldon.

Jacqueline Mazza
Administrative Assistant
Jacki has worked for the group since 2004. She started off in our Downtown Veterinary office until she was promoted in 2009 to the manager of Bayonne. In 2012, she was again promoted to Administrative Assistant.
In her leisure time, Jacki enjoys watching football (Go Cowboys!), comedy, and reality television, and spending as much time as she can with her two nephews, Jonathan and Timothy. She is also a bit of a health nut, spending the majority of her “free time” at the gym or researching about health. She has two fur babies: Mister Happy, a 12-year-old feline, and his brother, a 4-year-old Pit Bull named Valentine.

Kristen Attanucci
My name is Kristen Attanucci. I have been a licensed veterinary technician since 2011, working in both general practice and emergency medicine. I am a current member of the National Cat Groomers Institute. I am certified in Pet CPR & First Aid through the American Red Cross and Fear Free Certified in grooming through Fear Free Pets. I am currently working on becoming a Certified Feline Master Groomer through the National Cat Groomers Institute.
My Ragdoll cat, Louie, has been groomed his whole life. I decided to educate myself and become my cat’s personal groomer. Swifty Cats was born in 2023.
I am dedicated to providing quality cat grooming with safety and humanity as my first priority. I use only high-quality products on cats. If I wouldn’t use it on my cat, I wouldn’t use it on yours! While I know that not all cats are show cats of course, I believe that all cats deserve to be treated with safe, calm handling and be groomed beautifully. My mission is to provide a healthy, positive grooming experience for your cat in a professional and stress-free environment. All cats are treated with love and kindness always. They will receive the best care possible. I love cats!
I am looking forward to meeting you and your cat(s) and solving some concerns/problems.
