We're expecting this to be a purrfect event!

If you're on the lookout for a good cause, please help our buddy Roo who is recovering from a pretty intense past month.

Roo's whole family is very loved by all of us here at CHAT and any assistance you're able to provide them is greatly appreciated.

April 17th is Tortoiseshell Cat Appreciation Day! Some fun facts about our fiesty little friends, also known as "Torties:"

* Maryland icon Edgar Allan Poe's beloved Cattarina was a Tortoiseshell.
* Male tortoiseshell cats are incredibly rare, and usually sterile. Only 1 in 3,000 Torties is a male!
* The Tortoiseshell coat pattern can be seen on a variety of cat breeds, and only Torties and Calicos possess the red and black coat color gene. Calicos' extra spotting gene gives them their distinct unpigmented spots.
* Chimeras can be found in Torties, where one side of the body or face is a completely different color.
* Numerous patterns have been identified in Tortoiseshell cats' coats; when Tabby stripes are noted, these unique cats are dubbed "Torbies."
* Through many cultures, you'll find auspicious legends about these beauties.

Please share photos of your own Torties; we would love to see them.

If you are looking for a cat with a BIG personality (sometimes, "Tortitude"), stop by the Maryland SPCA or another local shelter and welcome one of these spunky cats into your life. We would love to partner with you for their healthcare!

We know many of you knew and loved our office boy, Fox. His extensive fan base really felt the loss from his passing in November, and we couldn't be more excited to announce our plan to have him live on:

The Fox Fund.

The Fox Fund gives donors the ability to make a direct donation or round up their purchase at checkout to go to cats in need right here at Cat Hospital At Towson, in addition to crowdfunding for their own cat's care! We look forward to sharing their stories and are deeply grateful to you for partnering with us to keep cats with their families.

Sending a big thank you to Dumbarton Middle School PTSA for asking us to partner with them for their Career Fair last week. It was an honor teaching the next generation of veterinary professionals about the field we love.

For those who weren't there, if you have a child interested in the field, here is the flyer we brought with us for you to give to them!

*Kitty PSA: While Ms. Cupcake embraced a holiday fashion show while boarding with us, please keep in mind not all kitties enjoy being dressed up. We encourage reading your kittie's behavior cues and not pushing their boundaries.*
The staff of CHAT wishes you and your loved ones a happy holiday season! Stay safe and warm! ❤️
