Auditioning a new vet

Our vet clinic is hiring a new veterinarian, and we’ve been invited to help “audition” one of the hopeful applicants.  The new vet will have two “tryouts” with us, next Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon, and we’ll be taking in eleven cats for exams and vaccines.  I’m exhausted just thinking about the logistics of catching and crating all those cats for travel, but in exchange for the effort, we’re getting the vet services for free.  I did a bit of online research about the new vet and she owns a few disabled cats, so I’m hopeful that she’ll be competent, and good with cats.  Our regular clinic always has highly skilled vets on staff, unlike another (cheaper) clinic we’ve visited and where I think I’m more qualified than some of the staff. 

Our lastest stray, “Kevin”, will be one of the cats we’re taking in for shots.  He’s quickly gone from living on the street to living in our garage to living in our laundry room, and he doesn’t seem to have any desire to go back outside (smart cat).  Once he has his shots, and I confirm that he’s neutered, I can work on finding him a home.  He’s a beautiful, affectionate guy who has good litterbox habits, so I’m hoping his good looks and charm will quickly win over an adopter.  He almost looks like he could be a Maine coon, or at least, that he has some of that breed in his genes.
