The Animal Hospital of Cambridge’s team of veterenarians have an important goal, and that’s to save one animal each day. The animal hospital was created to rescue orphaned animals and pets suffering from serious medical problems. Just recently, they’ve expanded their space to better accommodate the large number of dogs, cats, and other pets they rescue on a daily basis.

According to Dr. Kathy Hrinivich, one of the hospital’s in-house vets, helping pets is vital task for the hospital, especially since these animals have no voice of their own.

The Animal Hospital of Cambridge is widely regarded as a safe haven for orphaned pets and recuperating animals. Those that are about to euthanized are also welcome at the hospital; in fact, they receive animals from other humane societies and shelters that no longer have any space to keep them.

This is a far better fate than being put down – animal rights groups estimate that some 160 cats are euthanized each week because no one can look after them.

The population of feral cats is a particular problem for the country, the hospital’s veterinarians pointed out. The hospital is encouraging the public to capture strays if they can, and bring them to the hospital to have them spayed to keep them from reproducing.
