Humane Society Silicon Valley Celebrates Dr. Cristie Kamiya's Lifesaving Shelter Medicine Leadership at Fur Ball

Humane Society Silicon Valley (HSSV) proudly announces it will honor Dr. Cristie Kamiya, Chief of Shelter Medicine, at The Fur Ball, the organization's signature annual gala. This prestigious event, held on Saturday, May 2, at PayPal Park, celebrates Dr. Kamiya's transformative leadership and dedication to animal welfare, bringing together community leaders and supporters for an evening dedicated to HSSV's mission of saving lives and supporting pet families.

Since joining HSSV in 2012, Dr. Kamiya has been instrumental in elevating the organization's medical programs and lifesaving capacity. A nationally recognized expert, she spearheaded HSSV becoming the first shelter to meet the Association of Shelter Veterinarians' Guidelines for Standards of Care. Interim President Nancy Willis states, "Cristie represents the very best of modern animal welfare. Her tireless commitment has profoundly expanded our ability to serve the community."

Dr. Kamiya's innovative approaches have not only enhanced HSSV's ability to treat vulnerable animals but also strengthened regional partnerships and advanced shelter medicine practices globally through training initiatives. Her impact underscores HSSV's commitment to expanding access to care and ensuring comprehensive support for pets and their people.
