To all of our clients that guessed Maine C**n for our breed of the day, you are correct!

Some breed facts unique to this feline:

They are considered the only longhair breed native to the United States. As well as being the largest domesticated cat breed in the world, with males weighing up to 18 pounds.

Maine C**n's are actually the official state cat of Maine, with many folk tale's associated with them. They are a very playful and loving breed, with a lion like mane being a recognizable trait.

With December being Cat Lovers month we wanted to share our hospital kitty Nutmeg. Many of you may have seen her in the hospital lounging on the counter or zooming past to chase her toys. She is a silly playful girl and has definitely been a joy to see another hospital kitty running around and interacting with the staff and clients.
