S/N Surgeon Needed

Housing Assistance In Southern Delaware

Delaware – The very first No-Kill state in the nation!

A Veterinary Surgeon is needed to live and work in the Seaford, Delaware, area, which is at the very heart of our DelMarVa peninsula. The ideal applicant will be a Shelter Medicine graduate, with familiarity with the Humane Alliance protocol.

Primary focus is on HQHVLCSN (High-Quality High-Volume Low-Cost Spay/Neuter) of cats, complete with Green Line Tattoo, Knock-Out Injections of ferals thru traps & semi-ferals thru carriers, and Ear-Tipping for feral cats, and no external stitches of the outer layer of skin for all cats. Ability to perform, or willingness to learn, the Flank Incision Spay, and Pediatric S/N (2 to 4 lbs.) are both huge pluses.

All surgical equipment and medical supplies are provided at our fully functioning “Kitty Fix Clinic”, which is held in dedicated space provided by a local church, in Seaford, with a 13 year history. This includes an anesthesia machine, 24 spay packs, an autoclave, etc. We have a paid Vet Tech, plus several trained medical assistance volunteers, as well as a few clerical volunteers.

Secondary focus is for Wellness Clinics for pet cats, to facilitate adoption efforts at Petco, and to reduce surrender issues. These optional additional days would provide paid income.

If you would enjoy small town life surrounded by farming country, with low tax on income, and no sales tax, with 2 state parks, 1 national park, several resort beaches, and coastal night-life, all within a 5 to 45 minute drive, this may be for you. We and our cats are waiting for you to come check us out!
