Every surgery starts long before the first incision. It starts with a veterinary technician who has spent years mastering their skills, anticipating needs, monitoring vitals, and showing up fully prepared for every patient who comes through the door.

Vet techs are the heart of every OR team, and their skill and dedication make a difference every single day. At some VCA specialty hospitals, we take surgical collaboration even further. Some of our teams include Certified Surgical Technologists (CSTs) — professionals who earned specialized degrees specifically to support surgeons in the OR.

The result? Less time under anesthesia. Better outcomes. And a team that truly works as one. 💙

Because every patient is somebody's pet — and they deserve nothing less than the best.

This sweet cat is looking for her forever home. I have met her a few times and yes, she is so very sweet and wants to get out of this enclosure and start living her life! The CATch is that she does have FIV, which requires her to be in a home as the only cat. She can live a normal, loved filled life if someone is willing to open up their home to her! She is currently at VCA Piedmont Animal Hospital in Apopka! If you, or someone you know would be a great fit, please do not hesitate to reach out to VCA Piedmont Animal Hospital to learn more about her.
