Georgina, The Clinic Cat!
Georgina has been living at the clinic since she was 4 weeks old. Everyone takes part in loving and cuddling with her when they get a spare chance and she loves it! Georgina enjoys hanging around the clinic and watching all her friends come and go.
Kate, the other clinic Cat!
Kate was brought to us by Pur Paws Rescue for an exam. She was so sweet and unique that we decided to keep her as Georgina's company. Quite often you will see her carrying some toys and prizes around. Oh yes, did we mention that she is missing an eye?
Oliver, the clinic Prince (a.k.a the 3rd clinic cat)
Oliver has been the most recent addiction to the clinic. He is pretty much the clinic Prince because he goes practically whatever he wants.
