Overview
Veterinary Technician Jobs in El Dorado Hills, CA at Fat Kitty CityHUmane Society
Fat Kitty City Humane Society is a sanctuary and adoption center dedicated to providing life-long care and respite for kitties in need.
Our guiding principle is that no cat is left behind focusing on ending needless suffering while rescuing as many cats as funding will allow. As a result, we offer low to no-cost spay and neuter services and sometimes
emergency vet care to the community. This ability to treat cases in-house has earned FKCHS a large base of loyal volunteers and donors who support our cause. However, we are still a not-for-profit organization and have limited resources.
Located just 25 miles east of Sacramento in the Sierra Foothills nestled on 20 acres we have a small clinic where we can treat our sanctuary cats and care for those in need.
