StreetVet volunteers say the pets of homeless owners are often very well cared for

Volunteers with StreetVet provide medical check-ups, treatment and outreach care in Cambridge city centre every week.

 

Clinicians say the pets they see are often as well or better cared-for than those seen in general practice.

 

One rough sleeper told the BBC he could not have afforded his dog's care without the help of charity.

 

The team meets on Thursday nights close to the city's Grafton shopping centre and also reach out to local homeless shelters.rVolunteer Laura George says the owners she meets always want the best for their pets

Volunteer Laura George, a registered veterinary nurse, said she was always struck by the "love and devotion" of owners.

 

She said: "The thing that sticks with me most is just how kind all of the owners are, how much they love their pets, that is undeniable.

"And it comes through in spades," she added...
