Purrfurably Cats is looking for an experienced veterinarian or early-career doctor excited about learning to join our multi-doctor team in Monterey, CA. We’re a staple in the community, serving generations of pets with a great reputation for personalized service and care. We practice high-quality medicine and keep the whole pet and the clients’ needs and wishes front of mind. Just like pet owners go above and beyond for their pets, we do the same and have built incredible relationships within the community. Compassionate care is at the heart of what we do. We also like to make our place of work feel fun for both the team and clients! It’s low-stress, kind, and fun.
Our hospital is located three blocks from the beach, in a semi-residential area with a nice walking path nearby a lake that is a great place to walk on a break.
