UPDATE: He has been found! Thanks everyone for sharing!

Around 1:45/2:00 pm today (3/26/24), one of our client’s cats escaped from his carrier in our parking lot as they were arriving for an appointment.

Information about the cat:
• Brown Tabby
• White patches on his face, chest and paws
• Intact male
• Approximately 1 year old
• He is a farm cat, so he likely is good at finding places to hide
• Believed to be a friendly cat

He was originally spotted running south then north again across the railroad tracks and is possibly hiding near/in the area of trees directly behind (southeast) of our building.

If found, please call our office at 563-659-1738. If found after hours, please call the non-emergency number for the DeWitt Police Dept 563-659-3145. Thank you!

Last month, Dr. Stafford had the privilege of presenting our former veterinary assistant, Megan, with her first white coat. The white coat ceremony at Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine symbolizes the beginning of a students journey to becoming a veterinarian.

We are wishing Megan all the best as she continues on her 4 year journey to becoming a veterinarian. Congratulations to all DVM students of the Class of 2027!
