Dr. Anne Marie Carey, Community Practice Veterinarian at AVC, will give a workshop called “You and Your Cat—Relationship Counselling” in AVC Lecture Theatre A on Tuesday, April 26, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. This session will explore the unique relationship between humans and cats, and what we can do to make it "purr-fect."

Dr. Carey is a member of a recently formed national committee called Care for Cats that aims to raise the social status and value of cats, draw attention to the cat overpopulation crisis and promote responsible pet ownership. The committee has initiated a nation-wide educational campaign called 2011—The Year of the Cat, designed to inform the public that cats should have the same level of care and respect as dogs receive.

Dr. Carey’s presentation is part of the AVC Community Workshop Series. Admission is free, and everyone is welcome. For information, call (902) 566-0589, or visit upei.ca/avc.
