🎩✨ When Taylor Swift places a hat on a fan, it’s pure magic.
When Phantom gets a hat… it’s nothing short of iconic. 😹👒

From Swifties to whiskers — some moments just demand a hat tip!

Huge thanks to Phantom’s mom for creating this masterpiece! 🐾💖

Last week, we had the pleasure of spending the day with Theo! 🐾

He came in for the removal of a mass on his neck and we’re happy to say he was an absolute angel during his time with us. 😇 Calm, sweet, and full of love — Theo made it hard for us to say goodbye at the end of the day.

We checked in with his family and were so happy to hear that he’s continuing to be a very good boy at home. Even without an e-collar (he is unable to wear one due to the tricky location of his surgical site), he’s been leaving his sutures alone — he is the purr-fect patient! 😻

His lucky Mom even shared a few adorable photos of Theo relaxing at home during his recovery — clearly feeling like his normal self!

We can’t wait to see Theo again soon for suture removal — and of course, give him all the chin scritches and head rubs he wants. 🖤

📸 From Gender Reveal to Great Escape: Chibi & Kai Are Back! 🐾🖤🤍

Remember Chibi and Kai from their adorable gender reveal a few months back? 😻 Well, they’re all grown up now and came in for their neuter surgeries this week — and let’s just say, they definitely brought the drama.

After surgery, the dynamic duo were reunited... and immediately launched a full-blown jailbreak attempt from kitty recovery! 💥🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🔓

We’re happy to report they’re both doing great and healing well (despite their best efforts to escape kitty jail 😂). Always a pleasure seeing our favorite siblings again — thanks to their humans for trusting us with their care! 💕

🐾 Vet Day for Georgi & Teddi! 🐾

The sister cats, Georgi and Teddi, visited Dr. Lyons today for their annual check-up and vaccines. Their parents let us in on a fun fact — the girls picked out their outfits for the trip out of the house! Georgi picked out a purple ensemble sprinkled with stars, while Teddi chose a bright orange harness covered in cheerful oranges. Clearly, these two have excellent fashion sense!

Georgi, the torbi queen was well behaved during her exam and was more than happy to enjoy some Churu while the humans discussed her health. 💜😋

Meanwhile, Teddi stayed comfy in her carrier- but she didn’t miss a beat! Ever the observant tabby, she kept a close eye on the appointment, making sure everything went just right. Just look at her watching Dr Lyons! 🧡👀

Both girls got a clean bill of health and plenty of compliments on their outfits — and maybe even a few extra chin scritches for being such excellent patients. Thanks for bringing a smile to our faces, Georgi and Teddi! 🐾💖💖

Today is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day. Please share stories and photos of your loved furry companions that are waiting to see you at the Bridge. 🌈❤️🐱

*****************************************************************

"Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...."

👀 Can you spot Finn? 👀

This shy guy came in for his yearly exam and vaccines, but instead of waiting on the table like most patients… he found a shelf to hide on! 🫣

Finn wasn’t quite ready to meet Dr. Lyons right away — sometimes a quiet, cozy corner is just what a cat needs. But with a little patience (and some gentle encouragement), he came out like a champ. ✨ 💪

His mom and dad couldn’t be prouder of their sweet, loving boy. Behind that shy demeanor is a big heart full of love. Great job today, Finn! You’re brave and so deeply cherished. 🐾 💙
