The Purr Project is a non-profit organization whose mission is to match cats that have been abused, abandoned and/or injured with safe homes. Its primary focus is to be a savior for those that would otherwise be euthanized because they have sometimes-serious medical conditions. The Purr Projects calls New Haven Central Hospital for Veterinary Medicine home, but it is a separate organization. For more information, click here. |

How
Do I Become a Veterinarian
Working with animals is a challenging but very rewarding career for
animal-lovers. The science of veterinary medicine is every bit as

can't speak! See how veterinarians also work to protect and save animals
in our communities.
