Medical & Surgery Room

It has been a long road, but the surgery room is almost complete. Dr. Sharon Zito has spent endless hours installing equipment and setting up the on-site facility. We still need some equipment (wish list is coming soon), but thanks to your generous donations we were able to perform our first on-site, indoor medical procedure on February 7th.

We were finally able to give Natasha, one of our female Bengal tigers, a complete medical examination. This exam included, but was not limited to: a sonogram, x-rays, a complete dental exam, and microchip implant. Also, blood, urine, and stool samples were collected.

All of this was accomplished by an amazing vet team consisting of: Dr. Sharon Zito - head vet in charge of the procedure, Dr. George Miller - medicating anesthesia and monitoring, Dr. Christi Garfinkel - x-rays and sonogram, Dr Vera Heidolph - surgery assistant, Traci Smith - Vet Tech, and our first Vet Tech Student Jennifer Hatchell.

We can not give enough thanks to these hard working individuals who have donated their valuable time and expertise to help our cats.  We can also not thank our donors enough for the contributions that have helped make this medical room become reality.  We need a few more key pieces of equipment and will provide more information soon as to what we need and how you can help.  Once again, Thank You!
