While battling cystic fibrosis, wish kid 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, in her words, “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!
This inspiring wish kid from Katy had 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 was 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.
Phoenix was welcomed with a special presentation for the aspiring veterinarian as Dr. Veronica Adams, a highly respected veterinarian at CAP, personally awarded Phoenix her very own lab coat and head cover, symbolizing her official debut as a member of the CAP team. We can't wait to see the countless lives Phoenix will impact as a veterinarian in the future!
