Victoria Bonavita of West Babylon has always had a passion for helping animals, that’s why she decided to come to SUNY Canton and enroll in the Veterinary Technology program. However, she didn’t make the journey to Canton alone, she brought her cat Luca with her.
“One of my favorite parts about Canton is being able to go to college with Luca. He loves the dorms and enjoys going for walks in his stroller and playing with the other cats,” she said. Luca has quickly become a campus favorite; he is frequently seen out and about taking a stroll with Victoria.
Victoria’s favorite class at Canton is Large Animal Medicine because she gets to go to a farm off campus and work hands-on with the animals. “I like how Cantons Vet Tech program puts emphasis on the hands-on approach to learning,” she said.
She is an active member on campus being involved as the fundraising coordinator for the Vet Tech Association. This allows her to stay engaged in the community all while helping animals. Victoria is graduating in May 2025 and plans to get licensed and work as a veterinary technician.
