Since 1971, Citizens for Animal Protection has provided adoption and fostering services and humane education.
Make-A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana has granted more than 10,700 wishes since its inception in 1984.
HOUSTON, TEXAS, UNITED STATES, September 26, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Citizens for Animal Protection (CAP) announces a heartwarming partnership with Make-A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana. This extraordinary collaboration aims to fulfill the wish of four-year-old wish kid Phoenix, who dreams of becoming a veterinarian.
While battling cystic fibrosis, Phoenix remains a cheerful, vibrant girl with a HUGE heart and passion for animals. She wished to be a veterinarian for a day in order to begin learning the skills she will need to one day “help animals who are hurt and need someone to help them.”
She especially wants to be able to take care of Sport, her four-legged best friend, if anything ever happens! On September 28th, this inspiring wish kid from Katy will have the opportunity to immerse herself in a veterinary role, joining CAP’s veterinary team at the Cornelius Clinic in West Houston.
On her wish day, Phoenix will be entrusted with assisting in examinations of pets, giving out treats and cuddles to shelter dogs, cats, rabbits and other small animals, and performing a mock “surgery” on a plush four-legged critter.
This event will include a special presentation for the aspiring veterinarian, as Dr. Veronica Adams, a highly respected veterinarian at CAP, will personally award Phoenix her very own lab coat and head cover, symbolizing her official debut as a member of the CAP team.
Members of the media are cordially invited to attend this enchanting veterinary procedure, where her wish will come to life. This event promises to be a heartwarming and inspiring celebration, as Phoenix’s enthusiasm lights up the room.
