Veterinary Technician or Nurse - Bailey
ORGANIZATION: CO Companion Animal Sanctuary
Please visit the new page to apply.
We are looking for veterinary technicians or nurses to make monthly visits to provide basic preventative care for our cats. Nail care, ear cleaning, check gums and routine exam, i.e. temperature, heart, pulse, etc.
We currently have 11 cats, and you'll adore every one! Although they have special needs, those needs do not cause additional medical problems - mostly mobility and incontinence which we take care of daily.
We are looking for a long term commitment of about 1-2 hours per month. We would like to have two people so they are checked every two weeks, with regular vet care PRN or on the advice of the tech or nurse.
Our home and sanctuary were lost in a house fire, so the cats live in their own 32 foot RV, which is perfect for them. The kitchen is used for cat care - no cooking - so the setup is functional and can be organized to your standards. We will be there to help!

Mission Statement
CCAS offers lifetime care and rehab for cats with special needs considered unadoptable. Outreach services for homeless cats and guardians are also available, including education and training, linkage to resources, TNR and rehoming, when possible.
Description
Lifetime Care for Special Needs Cats: Our primary objective is to care for cats with manageable or treatable conditions that are considered unadoptable. In some cases, these cats need time to rehab before moving to an adoptive home. Most will live at the sanctuary as long as their quality of life is good. Over 85% of our cats are under 5 years old, so it is a long-term commitment as they are expected to live a normal lifespan.
Spay and Neuter Program for Rescued Cats: As an agency and animal advocates, reducing pet overpopulation is an area we are greatly concerned about. Part of our outreach program in Bailey and the surrounding area includes assisting people who rescue homeless pets in obtaining neuter and spay services. CCAS is partnering with Crow Hill Pet Hospital in Bailey to offer this program as funds permit.
Rehoming and Adoption Services: Another resource CCAS provides is adoption assistance to facilitate rehoming pets that need to be moved due to unforeseen circumstances, with priority given to special needs pets and pet guardians. These services are offered on a case-by-case basis, with no guarantee of placement.
This is an alternative to relinquishing pets to a shelter which can be traumatic for both the pets and families, and places the pet at risk of euthanasia. A donation (adoption fee) is required to cover any costs incurred and adoption services. In emergency cases, temporary foster care may be provided, when available.
