CAIT EVELYN

Cait, LVT, is a Research Scientist/Engineer II in the Veterinary Services unit of the Department of Comparative Medicine at the University of Washington (UW). Cait strives to ensure that the animals at the UW receive state-of-the-art veterinary care, and provides support on a variety of animal research projects. She believes strongly that cultivating awareness of, and support for, laboratory animal professionals to address Compassion Fatigue in positive, proactive ways, is a mission whose importance cannot be overstated.

Cait earned her LVT in Seattle, WA, and honed her veterinary technical skills in private practice for seven years prior to joining the UW Veterinary Services team in 2005.

“The expectation that we can be immersed in suffering and loss daily and not be touched by it is as unrealistic as expecting to be able to walk through water without getting wet. This sort of denial is no small matter. The way we deal with loss shapes our capacity to be present to life more than anything else. The way we protect ourselves from loss may be the way in which we distance ourselves from life and help. We burn out not because we don’t care but because we don’t grieve. We burn out because we’ve allowed our hearts to become so filled with loss that we have no room left to care.” -- Rachel Naomi Remen, 1996
