🐾 Happy Veterinary Receptionist Week! 🐾

This week, we’re giving a HUGE shoutout to the heart of our front desk — our amazing veterinary receptionist here at the Cat Clinic! 💜🐱

From the moment you call us or step through our doors, their compassion, patience, and expertise set the tone for a calm and welcoming visit. They juggle calls, comfort anxious kitties (and humans), manage appointments, and keep everything running smoothly — all with a smile.

Whether it's remembering your cat’s name or offering a kind word when you need it most, their dedication to our feline friends and their families never goes unnoticed.

Thank you, Lindsey, Tessa, Ashley, and Kerry, for being the friendly faces our clients rely on. We appreciate you more than meows can say! 🐾💐

🐾 Just another day of gentle care at the Cat Clinic 🐾

In these behind-the-scenes photos, you’ll see Dr. Wilharm performing a blood draw while Natalie gently holds our patient, Ivy. What makes this moment extra special? Just look at Ivy’s face — calm, relaxed, and completely unbothered by what’s going on.

Our team takes pride in creating a space where our patients feel safe and cared for, even during procedures that might be a little scary. Everyday, we are so grateful for the bond we get to build with our patients and their families every single day. 💗

Introducing the Minnie-rito 🌯🐾

Look at precious Minnie wrapped up in cozy purr-ito during her visit- no stress, just snug vibes!

She was such a brave girl at her appointment—snuggled safely by our tech, Taylor. Taylor used our favorite gentle, fear free technique- a warm towel, no scruffing- to help Minnie feel calm and comforted. Just look at that face!

🔧 Lamp Crisis Averted! 🔧 So... our surgery lamp bulb decided to go out before a procedure today! 😱 But no worries, we improvised! 💡💪

The Cat Clinic team quickly rigged up a clamp lamp with a 300-watt LED bulb. Now the show can go on! Literally. That light was BRIGHT! ✨ Now, Shadow’s procedure was back on track and running smoothly! And our team of technicians could continue removing tartar and monitoring like pros. 😎

Sometimes you just gotta get creative to keep things rolling! 💯

A heartfelt thank you to one of our wonderful clients for the gorgeous bouquet of flowers we received today! 🌷🐾

We’re so grateful for the thoughtful gesture and feel lucky to care for his sweet kitty, Bella. It means the world to know our efforts to provide gentle, attentive care are appreciated.

Our team truly loves what we do—and your kindness makes it even more special. 💐💛

Lenny’s April Fools' Prank! 😹🎭

Lenny came in for an exam today, and Dr Lyons ordered a series of blood pressure readings (with our new doppler blood pressure monitor!). Easy, right? Well… Lenny had other ideas! The moment we tried, he pulled the ultimate April Fools' prank— exploring the table, purring loudly, wagging his tail, and demanding the attention and head rubs from anyone who walked in the room! 🐾🎉

Was he too wiggly for an accurate reading? Absolutely. Did he succeed in distracting the entire staff with his charm? 100%. Well played, Lenny… well played. 😆💙

🐾 Meet Griswold 🐾

Griswold came to the clinic for his neuter today, and he instantly stole our hearts! 💕 With his big, adorable eyes, soft fur, and the sweetest personality, he had the whole team smitten. 😻

We couldn’t resist stopping by his cage for extra snuggles and playtime- and he had a blast batting around his plush toy ball! 🏀 But the cutest part? Sometimes we’d catch him just looking around, purring happily, and making biscuits with his little paws. 🥰

We wish this sweet boy a smooth recovery and lots of love (and playtime) at home! 💛🐾

🐾 Meet Koko! 🐾

This handsome Siamese boy came in for bloodwork today and completely charmed our staff. With his incredible blue eyes, looooooong elegant whiskers, and a stunningly colored coat, Koko had everyone swooning. 💙✨ He was as sweet as he was dapper, making sure to soak up all the admiration (and maybe a few extra pets)!

We love meeting such wonderful feline friends—thanks for brightening our day, Koko! 😻
