Sheldon Sheldon is our senior clinic "Scottish-fold" kitty. You likely will not see him out and about during regular business hours but he loves to look out the windows by the front door on the weekends. Sheldon is very introverted (named after Sheldon from the show "The Big Bang Theory"). He began his life as a barn kitty but is now at home at the clinic playing with frogs in our large animal treatment area or ensuring we all stay on his feeding and snack schedule.
Tallulah Grace and Persephone Alowishus
Our new baby cats - Tallulah (aka Lu) and Persephone (aka Perry) can be found helping clients, playing with the clinic plants, or chasing bugs. These two little calico kitties have brightened up the clinic and have truly taken over in most respects. They are always available for comic relief or cat training a dog.
