Question by str l: Cat question: Is there such thing as a “retired vet” or “vet in training”?
I’m looking for a reasonable or low cost veterinarian in the San Francisco area. I have four cats that I’ve inharited when my neighbor died leaving them homeless. I can handle the routine exams and vaccinations just fine, but now two of them are showing signs of illness, (one has an eye infection of sorts, and the other is urinating blood). I know this going to be costly….and I have to do it….I want to do it….I just can’t do it at the outrageous cost that all the vet offices charge. Any referrals, advice or links would be appreciated.

The most important thing about having a rescue is to find a sympathetic vet to help since rescues usually dont have much money. I would contact local rescue and ask who they see. Alot of times they have retired vets who give checkups to new arrivals in the rescue.

Over 3 weeks in June 2008 the Louisiana SPCA hosted 14 campers in 7th and 8th grade. 4 cats were trained: Cornish, Mia, Nezzie, and Tux. After thier experiences with the campers they were put up for adoption. After the camp all the campers wrote about what thier favorite thing to do at camp was. Overwhelmingly, the answer was train the cats!
