Our team was fortunate enough to meet this adorable kitten yesterday! Everyone meet "French Onion Soup"! Soup came to our hospital yesterday in a carrier which is the safest way for a cat to travel. We understand that it can be challenging to get your pet into a carrier for your appointment. If you need tips and tricks, our highly skilled team would be happy to assist!
