Randi Golub, Cat Nurse on Call
After high school, Philadelphia native Randi Golub spent
four years in Europe and the Middle East, then returned to
study veterinary tech at Bryn Mawr. "I had a hard time
settling down," says Golub, who traveled around the US and
had a cooking career at a restaurant in Malvern, PA, before
she got serious about working with animals. "I worked for
different vets, and spent five years at the zoo in
Philadelphia," she says. Since moving to Eugene in 2001,
Golub has worked at the Emergency Vet Hospital and as animal
care coordinator at Greenhill. "I enjoyed it, but it got me
away from what I really love: caring for ill, injured, and
elderly cats," she says. So last year Golub started her own
business, Cat Nurse on Call. "I get referrals from
veterinarians," she says. "I often work with middle-aged to
older diabetic cats. It's helpful to have blood-sugar
measurements taken in the home." Behind Golub and her cat
Chuck in the photo is the CatNurse Cottage, a rest and rehab
facility offering daycare and overnignt boarding. Call the
Cat Nurse at 514-1472.
