Her frantic voice hurried on," It's so horrible! I'm just worried about my cat, poor Princess Fluff!!! She's going to die of alien infestation if no one helps her!!"- My Cat Ate Aliens

My Cat Ate Aliens and Other Humorous Tales in Veterinary Medicine is a collection of over 40 outrageous stories from the world of veterinary medicine. Dr. June B. French and her friends take you on a journey where they find themselves in the most unlikely scenarios, filled with surprising characters and twists no human could have foreseen. It all begins in a shelter, wherein they are faced with an impossible, heart-wrenching dilemma. From there, many more adventures are mapped out as you follow June into the land of dogs, cats, horses, alpacas, camels, horses, and even birds of all feathers (the scariest June has ever faced). You will also follow the journeys of June's beloved veterinary comrades, who detail their unexpected situations. These stories include a junkyard horse, a nudist colony, a bear and even a few mountain oysters. And you will also soon meet the furry friend that inspired this whole collection: the cat who ate aliens. These events are the unscripted trials of animal loving professionals in their everyday careers, with the greater mission to aid shelter medicine as well as finding the humor in the crazy situations they find themselves in. We do hope that you enjoy our stories!

VBSPCA Staff Reviews

Derby Brackett (CEO): "Very easy to read - such fun stories. I love that you are sharing true and enriching, yet humorous experiences. I can't wait to share with my 10 year old grandson who is an animal lover too."

Vikki Spruill (Director of Finance): "I keep My Cat Ate Aliens beside my bed for a quick chuckle every night before going to sleep. The stories are funny and heartwarming, a good way to end my day!"

Nikki Shepperd (Retail & Sales Manager): "This book is definitely a page turner! I feel like I have a smile on my face while reading each short story and then once the story comes to fruition, the giggling really begins. I really love it!"

Theresa Tsutsui (Customer Service Representative): "I really enjoyed reading My Cat Ate Aliens. Such a fun book and so relatable! I especially loved the story about the goat. "In Rut" I laughed out loud!"

Jessica Lee (Customer Service Representative): "I love reading the book with my husband! It's both insightful into the veterinarian and shelter world and hilarious! I would highly recommend the book!"

Maggie Henson (Customer Service Representative): "In general, all the stories from Dr. Griffin's days in vet school make me happy. My boyfriend's daughters love animals, particularly the 5 year old, and the examples of how hard and lonely, but incredibly rewarding school can be make me feel like if either of them decide to go the vet route, they will have a realistic expectation of what they will experience in school. Granted, at their ages they cannot quite read the book themselves just yet, but I believe they will enjoy it once they are ready..."

S.C: "My Cat Ate Aliens" is a pleasant read that provides interesting, and lighthearted, insight into the veterinary work world. The writer's informal and personal style makes this an easy, fun read. I enjoyed the organization of the book into a variety of cleverly-titled short stories covering a wide range of animal clients.
