Meet Our Resident Cats

Truffles has been a part of the Cheshire Cat Family for many years after being lovingly welcomed into our clinic when his original owner passed away. Born on February 10th, 2010, he quickly became the heart of the hospital with his hilarious personality, endless love for attention, and very strong passion for food. Truffles adores people, enjoys greeting patients and staff, and has a soft spot for baby kittens. Whether he's begging for snacks, supervising the team, or soaking up pets from anyone nearby, he always knows how to make everyone smile.. and also cause a little mischief attempting to drink the toilet water...

She was one of the sweetest, most loving cats. She loved spending time with everyone, especially with staff members during their lunches, hoping for a taste of something delicious. Daisy will forever have a special place in the hearts of everyone who knew her and will never be forgotten.

Babies is a beautiful old flame-point Persian born July 4, 2000. He was brought to Cheshire Cat Clinic through a friend of a former employee. His owners just couldn't get his flea problem under control. He had a very resistant case of fleas. After his hair was shaved off, the flea control medications finally worked. He is a very sweet mellow and clingy cat. He does have polycystic renal disease of Persians so we are monitoring his kidney values closely. Babies even has his own "fan club". He earns his living by modeling his lion cut. Recently, Babies underwent a CAT Scan (no pun intended) and scoping of his nasal sinuses to help diagnose his chronic respiratory issues. UPDATE:  Sadly, Babies left us on Tuesday, May 29, 2012. We mourn the loss of our long-term. He was such a character, an unusual cat, unusual personality. People would come to Cheshire Cat Clinic just to visit him. In his later years, Janice, our veterinary assistant, took over his medical care and took him home permanently. He was only 11 but had had several severe medical conditions and lived more than 3 years longer than expected. He will be sorely missed. 

In Memory of our Dizzy, who left our world in January 2011.

Dizzy lived at Cheshire Cat the longest of our clinic cats. She was born in January 1990. She was originally a stray and had a bad inner ear infection when she was first brought to Cheshire Cat Clinic. The ear infection cleared up, but she still "ran in circles," hence her name, "Dizzy". When she was younger, she was a blood donor for some of the sick, anemic cats. Once she retired, she spent most of her time on our waiting room benches or begging for C.E.T. tartar prevention chews.

In Memory of our sweet Hatchi, who passed in April 2010.

Hatchi, a male domestic shorthair, was born in August 1992. We acquired him in March 2004 when his 25-year-old companion cat passed away. His owner was moving to Boston and could not take him. She brought him in to be euthanized, but he was very healthy and not ready to leave this world. An agreement with his owner was made: to have us find a new home for him, and she would contribute what the cost of the euthanasia would have been. Finding a home for an older cat has been very difficult.  In early 2008, he had bilateral hip surgery to correct degenerative hips, and he went to physical therapy and has been regaining strength in his hind legs. This surgical procedure gave him many additional years of life, happily lying in his bed in the sun!
