My vet's office has done this on occasion. They will just find an animal that they find special and take them on while they look for a home. There is usually at least one old cat in the clinic that becomes the "clinic cat" for a while, wanders around the whole office, and gets free vet care until they find the right home for it. Sometimes it is a person who comes in and has to put their animal down -- and the clinic cat just sits on their lap at the right time.
If the vet made the offer, I would take him up on it. It sounds like the best possible scenario. If they can't rehome the cat, they will put her down in a humane way when the time is right.
