Sam and Miss Kitty
Hospital Cats
When you walk in the door of our hospital you will be greeted and checked out by our two clinic cats. Sam is a big yellow neutered male tabby. Miss Kitty is a grey, long haired, spayed female. They seem to like everyone that walks in. They will very likely climb on the chair next to you and want some attention. We often say that the only reason that we work here, is because the cats allow us the privilege of being here to see to their needs.
