Moki met his younger self! 🐶💛

Even though he’s the king of the clinic, he’s truly a big softie at heart, and he absolutely melts for puppies and kittens. Look at those gentle sniffs, sweet eyes, and lots of love! 🐾👑

Long live the king and his tiny admirers! 💕

Happy Birthday, Dr. Tiglio! 🎉🐱👑
Our queen of the kitties, eye care expert extraordinaire, and go-to source of laughter when we need it most! 👀✨ Dr. Tiglio brings so much joy, generosity, and heart to our clinic every single day.

From caring so deeply for her patients to sharing her artistic talents and bright spirit with our team, she truly makes this place better just by being her. We’re so grateful for her kindness, creativity, and impeccable comedic timing! 🎨😂💜

Hope your day is filled with cats, color, and all the love you give so freely to others. We adore you, Dr. Tiglio! 🎂🎈

😂🎉 How many Drake Center team members does it take to get to the center of a piñata?!
Apparently… almost the entire team 💪🪅

Swing after swing, laughter after laughter, that piñata was not giving up without a fight! Safe to say our teamwork is strong both in the hospital and on the dance floor. 😂💙

Note how our amazing team members were cheering each other on and encouraging people to take a turn, all while prioritizing safety! 😆 Now that’s - persistence, care, teamwork, and a whole lot of fun! 🐾🎄🎊

🍬 Shout out to our Veterinary Care Provider, Dayna, for finally getting the piñata to break!
