Barbara, I am absolutely amazed by the veterinarian's response to your situation. Absolutely astounded. Truly, your best bet is to move on, as it seems many other clients as well as former employees, and even COLLEAGUE, have done.
 
It amazes me that people like this go into medicine. The very first vet that I had for my very first cat (who remains my only pet cat, Wynnie, FeLV negative) was just a traumatic experience for me. They stuffed her in one of those sacks in order to take blood, and they left the room with her; I don't know what they did, but they traumatized her. Up until very recently, she would hyperventilate at any vet's office--foam at the mouth, void her bowels, vomit, to the extent that the vet asked me whether she was always like this because he was concerned that she was ill. I will never forgive that first vet for damaging my baby. Our newest vet is a dream (Dr. Jamison DeSantis at Oradell Animal Hospital in Oradell, NJ, not the same vet that cares for the FeLV fosters) and Wynnie has relaxed a little bit...but it costs an arm and a leg to see him. I'm glad that the vet who cares for the fosters is as kind with discounting our visits (he's been amazingly generous, which is why we see him) but his facilities are tiny and primitive, and he can be a bit brusque. I could never take Wynnie there, she'd have fits.
 
In any case, it sounds like the best thing is to move on. I cannot believe some people are such jerks though, I really can't.
