While we celebrate RVT month and show appreciation to our veterinary team this week, yesterday was National Feral Cat Day. What better way than for our team to give back to the community by completing 105 surgeries in one day! 105 community cats were spayed/neutered and were vaccinated for both FVRCP and Rabies, flea treated, and microchipped.

Another Registered Veterinary Technician to showcase! Carmen is an RVT here at the Windsor/Essex County Humane Society. When we asked Carmen why she does what she does, this is what she had to say:
" I think that every animal needs someone to speak for it, even those that are not normally considered cute". We agree Carmen! Every animal no matter the type, age or their looks deserve to have someone advocating for them. Thank you for everything you do, we value you and look forward to spending many more years with you.

Celebrating Emily, a Veterinary Technician here at Windsor/Essex County Humane Society. This is what Emily shared with us when asked why she chose this profession:
"I grew up surrounded by animals 24/7, I decided to go to College to be a veterinary technician right out of high school. I aways knew I wanted to be apart of animal care since I was a kid. I fell in love with being a Veterinary Technician because I get to help our patients live happier and healthier lives. I love the fast paced environment we have here at the clinic and I wouldn't have it any other way. I really enjoy working with this AMAZING team and help change the lives of the community cats around Windsor Essex".
We are happy to have such dedicated professionals on our team. Thank you Emily, for everything you do!
