Our Expert Staff

Squeaks

Clinic Cat

Meet Squeaks, the reigning monarch of our clinic! This rotund tabby has been gracing our halls since 2021 with her royal presence. With a penchant for napping in sunbeams and indulging in treats, Squeaks knows how to live the good life. But don’t let her regal demeanor fool you, she’s also a mischievous troublemaker, especially when her partner in crime, Simon, is involved. Catch her in action during her catnip-fueled antics or witness her expertly execute her favorite prank on our practice manager by toppling Sarah’s water bottle when she’s not looking. Long live Queen Squeaks!

Simon

Clinic Cat

Simon, the dapper addition to our clinic’s feline crew! This debonair grey gentleman joined us in 2023 and has been stealing hearts ever since. Simon isn’t just a handsome face, he’s also an active enthusiast of the fetch game and a dedicated greeter of both our feline patients and their human companions. When he’s not strutting around like he owns the place (which, let’s be honest, he kind of does), you can find him lending a helping paw on our practice manager’s desk.
