Shelter Adds Fisher to Management Staff
- Share via
The Orange County Health Care Agency has appointed Dr. Kristi Fisher manager of veterinary services at the county’s animal shelter.
Fisher is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Assn., the Southern California Veterinary Medical Assn. and the American Assn. of Feline Practitioners. She previously worked for the Cat Care Clinic in Orange.
Fisher, a Rancho Santa Margarita resident, has a doctor of veterinary medicine degree from UC Davis.
The agency is in charge of the county’s animal shelter, which handles about 50,000 animals a year. The shelter’s director and chief veterinarian were forced to step down last year after being criticized by veterinarians and animal-rights advocates for not stemming a distemper outbreak among cats at the shelter and for failing to inoculate all strays. Julie Ann Ryan Johnson was appointed director of Animal Care Services in November.
