Cinder
Clinic Cat
Vinny examined a little stray for a friend and client of ours on June 23, 2017, who was not able to keep this new little one.
Vinny fell in love with this little grey furry sweetheart and decided that we could keep her as the back-up clinic cat. It is usually the other way around, all of us begging Vinny to let us keep a cat for the clinic! Cinder is wonderful; playful, cute and mischevious- all rolled into one lovely young cat.
Stella
Clinic Cat
On September 30th, 2015, one of our dear clients brought in a tiny little furball she found in her barn. The staff from the SPCA could not pick up the same day and promised they would come tomorrow. We immediately fell in love with her. The next morning, we called to cancel the pickup from the SPCA and the rest is history!
