Seeking recommendations for vet in Lynnwood, WA area w/ holisticleanings

Season's Greetings to the community --

I have two neutered male tabbies, 10 and 13, both rescue and primarily indoor
cats, on a raw food diet supplemented with Serengeti dry food (mainly as a
crunchy treat). I've become disillusioned with my current vet due to his, IMO,
strongly traditional approach to veterinary medicine and disregard for my wishes
to maintain a more holistic care plan for my cats. So I'm looking for a new vet
that could hopefully blend the best of both worlds--take a primarily holistic
approach, yet not eschew traditional vet medicine diagnostics, such as routine
blood tests, and treatments with antibiotics when necessary (which sometimes
occurs, especially with cats).

I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for possible matching vets in
the Lynnwood/North Seattle area. My ideal? The care my two boys received with
Dr. Elise Thomas (who retired a number of years ago). Many thanks in advance to
any suggestions.

Talk to folks in local rescue organizations that work with cats. They
probably either know of a holistic vet or know someone who could point you
to one.

Wow, Elise Thomas retired? We used to go to her before we moved farther
south.

We have a good vet that's in northern Tacoma and does believe in
holistic along with traditional practices. I'll send you the info if
that's not too far.
