Sam
Sam is the clinic cat. He enjoys visiting our clients and patients, and is a great babysitter for puppies and kittens.
Skanky
Once a feral cat with a very 'skanky' haircoat and a bad upper respiratory infection, this petite kitty won our hearts while recuperating from her spay operation and the respiratory infection. Her hair has grown back and she has gained weight, although she is still a 'size 2'. She can usually be found curled up with Sam, or sitting on a staff member's shoulder. Honestly, we've tried giving her a better name, but so far, she has ignored them all.
