Rescuing Kittens and Veterinarians
For any pet owner, the health and well-being of their furry friends are of utmost importance. But what if professional help isn't readily available when it's needed the most? It's a situation no pet owner wants to face, but it's a reality for many living in communities across the country, including our own.
I recently found myself in such a predicament, right here in our community. Yesterday, a tiny kitten was found at the loading dock of our office building. He spent the day in the Operations Director’s office, chowing down on the chicken from her salad. Covered in fleas, he clearly needed a trip to the vet and a loving home. I happily obliged.
I took him home and started calling veterinarians in town. Veterinarian after veterinarian told me the same thing: “We’re booked solid. We can get you in in a week or so.” Eventually, I was able to find a veterinarian who had someone cancel an appointment. I was able to get him in and get him checked out.
I am happy to report that this 2.5-pound furball is healthy (apart from his flea problem). He’s settling with me and adjusting to his new life of luxury.
But I can’t help but see this experience as a wake-up call. It became clear that our community, much like countless others, is in urgent need of more readily available veterinary services.
