Meet Raisin, the Rescued Cat Who Is Now an Adorable Vet Nurse (PHOTOS)

When Raisin the Sphynx cat was abandoned at Helping Hands Pet Rescue in Gainesville, Florida, neither she nor anyone else probably suspected what incredible future was in store for this little wrinkly kitty. Her own condition was far from perfect – she was given away because of an eye ulcer so severe that she almost had to have her eye removed.

Raisin’s future changed when a vet student, Lindsey Hidenrite, decided to treat her and make sure that the cat would keep her eye. Now, the kitty has only a minimal amount of scarring – and she is giving back the good vibes by helping the clinic’s animal patients.

Raisin has found her forever home with vet tech Ruth Heffernan.

Now, she accompanies her human best friend to work at the Animal Medical Clinic of Gulf Gate in Sarasota.

Her talents know no limits – she is great at welcoming patients and comforting them…

…as well as at helping out in the lab.

Her purrs help lower patient’s blood pressure and her great attitude is an all-round winner at the clinic.

Not only does she do a priceless job – Raisin also looks extremely stylish while doing it and really enjoys wearing her outfits.

“Raisin inspires me every day,” Heffernan told Catster. “Her fans love to see her with all the patients, and they love to see her curiosity with surgery and X-rays. Raisin loves big dogs — not sure what that’s all about, but the bigger the better, and her fans seem to enjoy that!”

The kitty went from needing help herself to giving Support to those that are now in that position — and she inspires all the patients, big and small, to power through their visit and never be scared.
