Sassy was rescued by a young lady who realized that Sassy was being neglected, and possibly abused, by another individual. She immediately brought Sassy into the Clinic. Poor Sassy’s leg had been broken and left untreated and was severely infected. The young lady signed a release form giving Sassy to us. Upon examination, it was found that the infection had gone too far to save her leg, so the doctors had to amputate to save her life. Today, Sassy can run just as fast, if not faster, than the rest of our house kitties. Many people have offered to adopt her, but she has become so much a part of our family, none of us can bear to part with her!

Rocky was brought into the clinic because she was “too loving” – wanted to be on someone’s lap all the time, and followed them around all the time (can you imagine?)! So we found her a great home, but unfortunately the other kitty that lived there wasn’t too crazy about her. She was returned to the Clinic with a few bruises and scratches. By this time, we felt that maybe she just needed to stay with us. Rocky has been on a diet almost ever since she’s been here, but you couldn’t tell it! It’s pretty embarrassing when our doctors have just counseled someone on nutrition and diet for their kitty and Rocky comes waddling through the room! But – she has a beautiful soul – and that’s what really counts!

Bear or the princess, as some of the staff refer to her, is a permanent resident of Cheryl's (our Practice Manager) office.  She really wished to be an only child (uh, cat), so couldn't seem to bring herself to accept her adopted sibling @ home!  Dr. Schomacker had the "purrfect" solution. Let her live w/Cheryl in her office. The office has now become Bear's, but Cheryl still belongs to Bear -- and Bear is happy to share HER office with Cheryl."

Esmerelda, or "Ezzy" as we call her, has been with the Cat Clinic since we found her in our garden out back.  She has a couple of medical issues which prevented us from finding her a good home -- so, she's happy to join us here.  Ezzy looks at the world a little differently -- as you can see from this photo!

So, now you’ve been introduced to the “really” important staff members at the Cat Clinic – just ask them, they’ll tell you! Anyway, like the saying goes, “you can never have too many cats!”
