At Essington Road Animal Hospital, you know and come to us for our rizz & drip. We might not be able to help with your rizz, but we can with your drip! We now have t-shirts for sale inspired by one of Dr. Adam's favorite albums Red by King Crimson. Featuring three of our permanent residents TJ (RIP), Anchises, and Anna, you can now have this objet d'art for $22.01.

Proceeds will help in the care of the cats that we have for adoption.

And even better: this was designed by living persons. No damn AI here.

We'll be closed for Thanksgiving, but open on Friday. So we hope to see you then to pick up a shirt!

UPDATE: Good news, he found a home and is already settling in!

This little baby was found outside this morning and is now in need of a forever home so he doesn’t end up in lock up. Here is his mug shot. He is around 8 weeks old and seems very healthy. Who is interested 815-439-2323.

This is beautiful feline is named MK. In Dr. Adam's head, she is named after the CIA's MKUltra program. But whereas that CIA program over a course of 20 years used copious amounts of L*D and psychological & physical torture to brainwash people during the Cold War -- because reasons -- MK brainwashes you by being sweet and affectionate.

We are holding onto her for the 4 Stray Paws rescue that we work with. She is best as an only animal in the house, but is good with kids. She has a curious quirk where her jaw sometimes drops and her mouth is open, but we haven't found any reason why that may be and she has been healthy otherwise.

She might be able to get along with a polite male cat in the house, but your mileage may vary on that.

You can contact the clinic or 4 Stray Paws Ltd to schedule a meet & greet.
