TADA!! Another twofer to end your work week!🎉🎉

Meet Merlin (black) and her slightly younger "brother" Alvin (silver)!🖤🤍

Merlin are "related" in the way that many pets and their humans are - that is to say, not at all.😄 Merlin is going to turn 1 in 10 days and Alvin is slightly younger at 9 months old. They just boarded with us for the first time recently and they did a fantastic job at it.

Here's their dad describing both of his kitties:

"Merlin is a highly inquisitive cat who needs to know of everything that is happening around with her poking her nose into everything. And she is also a play fight instigator with her losing almost every play fight with Alvin but she does not give up with her again instigating another fight.

As for Alvin he is content to sleep on your lap but does not let you hold him in your arms and loves to sit by the window looking outside at birds. While playing he can jump as high as four feet to catch the feather at the end of the stick."

Can't you tell just by these photos who the inquisitive cat is and who the lap-sitter is?

Please join us in welcoming Merlin and Alvin to our Carnegie community and then have a fantastic FRIDAY!😊

09/19/2024

We will be closed today from 12:30 - 2:00 for a very important all-staff meeting. The doors will be locked so every staff member can attend the meeting.
Please plan accordingly and we apologize in advance for any inconvenience.

We sincerely hope your pet does not experience an emergency during the 1.5 hours that we are closed but if they do, here are some phone numbers for nearby emergency vets:

☎ BluePearl at (215) 750-7884
☎ NorthStar Vets at (609) 259-8300
☎ Red Bank Veterinary Hospital at (908) 359-3161

Because you love animals as much as we do, you're probably wondering who the beautiful kitty is. That's Precious, one of our geriatric boarders, helping us out with today's announcement.💕

We bet when you woke up this morning you had no idea you'd get TWO kitties! Meet Cappuccino (Calico) and Cannoli (White)!🎉🎉

Here's how their mom describes them:

"Cannoli is our sweet boy from the streets of Philly. We adopted him in July 2023 when he had just turned 1 and he has given us so much joy. He loves to watch TV and our phones so much we bought him his own baby tablet where he can watch his cat videos! He is a patient and loving older brother to Cappuccino. If they cannot see each other, he starts to cry.

Cappuccino we adopted spur of the moment at a cat convention in January 2024. She and Cannoli became obsessed with each other after only a week. Her kitten attitude and energy perfectly matched Cannoli's. She is still a baby, so she has favorite blankets and clothing that she will suckle from. Her favorite toy is her older brother's tail."

We asked about their names:

"Cannoli came with the name from the shelter and since I'm Italian and my spouse loves Cannolis, it was perfect.

Cappuccino was actually named Japan by a previous family who adopted her and ended up giving her back, so we felt she needed a name change. We decided on Cappuccino because it's the perfect pairing to a dessert like Cannoli!"

Please say hi to Cannoli and Cappuccino and now that your day is off to a GREAT start, we hope it continues!😊

For this Wednesday morning, we have one of our best boarders for you.🥰 You've met her before but in case you forgot, here's JAZMINE! We've known her since she was a tiny kitten weighing just 2 pounds AND she is one of two boarders who gets postcards from their families when they board.💕

We asked her mom if Jazmine has any new tricks (she dances for treats). Here's what we learned, "Jazmine's new favorite spot for her afternoon nap is on top of our 7 foot high Subzero refrigerator. First, she jumps on the kitchen counter which is 3 feet tall. Next, she jumps on top of our microwave oven which is a foot tall. Finally, she jumps the remaining 3 feet to the top of the refrigerator where it is "warm", stretches out and takes her afternoon nap which lasts hours. We can't believe she is 12 years old and a "senior" cat!"

Please enjoy scrolling through Jazmine's photos across the years and then have a wonderful Wednesday!😊

We are so sorry for any inconvenience caused by this morning's outage.

September is National Disaster Preparedness Month.

Your social media coordinator visited her family in Orange County, CA recently. During the 10 days she was there, two wildfires started - one of them, The Airport Fire was quite close by (photo taken from her parents' driveway). The first thoughts were for the firefighters, the residents and all the animals. The very next thoughts were, "what would we do if we had to suddenly evacuate our home".

New Jersey is pretty lucky. We feel like we should first knock on wood, but we are not known for our wildfires, earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, tsunamis... but we have been known to lose power, have floods and we did get hit pretty hard by hurricane Sandy.

We know that most of us don't have a "Pet Emergency Kit" but this would be a good time to think through what you would need to do to safely evacuate, on a moment's notice, with your cat or dog.

Here are some things that do come to mind:
* Make sure your pet is microchipped and your contact information is current
* Make sure you pet has a collar with your phone number on it
* Keep all your pet's records in one, easy-to-grab place. Alternatively, take a photo of your pet's records and store them in an album on your phone
* Consider storing a couple day's worth of food in an airtight, water proof container.
* Have as many carriers as you have cats
* Make sure you have bowls for water and a can opener if your pet eats canned food
* Have sturdy leashes/harnesses available
* Have a current photo of you with your pet in case they get lost. Many pets look alike and this might help identify them
* Take a photo of the label of your pet's medication so you have the exact name, dosage and instructions if you need a refill
* Know websites like "BringFido.com" that will help you locate pet-friendly places to stay

We know that very few people will actually create an emergency evacuation kit for themselves or for their pets (we haven't ourselves!) but please DO make a plan and discuss it with the people you live with.

The Carnegie Cat Clinic received a very nice review recently so we thought we have CCC technician Sarah and CCC patient Lacie (from this morning's post) help us do a little bragging!

We can't tell you how much we appreciate it when people recognize that our veterinarians, technicians and CSRs are working hard for you and your pets. So thank you!💕🐾💕

09/16/2024

We know that many, many of you are black house panther fans like we are. So for this beautiful Monday morning, meet Lacie!🖤🖤🖤

We're turning this post over to Lacie's mom because we LOVED what she had to say about her pretty girl:

"She has apparently been popular with the vet techs during our weekly eye ulcer rechecks lately due to her huggability, easygoing temperament, and round black cat adorableness. :) I wouldn’t say that the cat clinic is her favorite place on earth, but we’re always glad that she’s treated with care and kindness.

Here are some fun facts about Lacie.
-Lacie’s origin story is shrouded in mystery, but she was adopted from a shelter in the Syracuse, NY area in 2016.
-She has a creaky little meow and a loud nonstop purr.
-When we come home, she says hello by making sure we’re looking at her, then tipping over at us and rolling to show her belly.
-She enjoys grooming her tabby sister Rosie, whether Rosie wants to be groomed or not.
-She’s quiet most of the time, but every night at bedtime, she marches around our home making “announcements” in each room."

Tipping over to show off her belly is one of the cutest greetings we've ever heard about!

So please say hi to our huggable, easy going black house panther and then have a wonderful Monday.

If you are looking for extra bonus points today, post a photo of your black pet (or a pet with any black on them).📸

Happy Caturday!🐱💕🐱

09/13/2024

You met her brother Simba yesterday. And actually, you've met them both before but now it's time to see the all grown up BELLA!🎊💗🎀

Whereas Simba is dignified and reserved, Bella is a social butterfly who rolls around in her condo and shows off her pretty toe beans when she's boarding. You'll see said toe beans soon!🐾😆

Here's what Bella's mom had to say about her girl:

"Bella is adorable. She is a confident and independent little girl! Every morning she jumps on my vanity as I’m getting ready for work, sits and throws her head back so she can get brushed!

She loves spending time looking out the window and talking to the birds and rabbits. She loves her brother, but gets angry at times when he wants to play and she doesn’t. She doesn’t hesitate to let him know and will hiss and swat at him!!

We just love her!!" And so do we!💕

So on this happy Friday, please say hi to this confident, independent, social girl and then enjoy the rest of your day!😊

09/12/2024

You met Bitty (left) yesterday and you know Honey (right) so we thought we'd share this funny photo. They ended up being neighbors in the condo boarding room recently. Every time we opened Bitty's door to take a photo, she'd crane her neck around the opening to see Honey. Honey invariably came to the front of her condo to say "hi" back to Bitty. These two girls both seemed very interested in each other and quite pleased to meet their neighbor.

We really do love our boarders and getting to know them so much more than we can during annual wellness visits.💕😊💕

09/12/2024

Happy Throwback Thursday!👶

We have the handsomest, green-eyed cat for you today. You've already met him but this is SIMBA! We introduced him way back when he and his sister Bella were little kittens meeting Dr. Jones. That was over 3 years ago. He and Bella came to visit us recently and they were the very best boarders. They had connecting condo cages and so could hang out together or have "me" time if they so desired. We loved having them around for a few days.💕

Here's how Simba's mom describes her special boy:

"Simba loves being around his family, especially me!
He’s truly a mama’s boy!
He looks forward to his treats as soon as I get home from work and will follow me around until he receives them.
His favorite things to do are to sit on the bay window to watch the birds and chase his sister Bella!"

Since we've included Simba's kitten pictures, and it IS Throwback Thursday, please say hi to Simba and then show us a past photo of YOUR pet! And then enjoy the rest of your Thursday!😊

On a seperate note, your social media coordinator is still on vacation and not able to attend to spammers as promptly as normal. If your comment gets spammed, we apologize in advance and will vanquish them as soon as we can.🙃

You get a triple feature today!! You met Kobal this morning and now you get to meet Spike and Bitty!🎉🎊🎉

Spike is 16 and has long, fluffy grey hair. Bitty is 13 and is a Calico. Let's let their mom tell you a bit about them:

"Bitty got her name because of how small she looked when she was adopted. I adopted Spike as a part of a bonded pair with Buffy (I’m a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan). When Buffy passed at 3, Spike didn’t do well alone so I adopted Bitty for him (she was named Sassy). I’m including a photo of Spike with Buffy and Spike's first meeting with Bitty. We never were able to call her the name I gave her (Faith, also a vampire slayer) because of how itty bitty she was compared to Spike." We love stories of how our patients get their names and learning parts of their origin stories. Spike's family obviously loves him very much to adopt a friend for him after Buffy died.

Spike and Bitty boarded with us recently and they are coming back!! We love when they come to visit. They are wonderful boarders.

So please say hi to Spike and Bitty and let's all be grateful for families who adopt pets for their pets when needed! And now, enjoy the rest of your Wednesday!😊

09/11/2024

We have the handsomest cat for your Wednesday. Meet Kobal!💙👀💙

He is 2 years old and he's a Siamse cat. He has boarded with us multiple times since we met him a year ago. We love his life as described by his mom so we're going to let her tell it:

"Kobal was born in Louisiana and was rescued as a kitten by a group in Chicago that saves cats from high kill shelters. Ever since being adopted, his days are filled with lounging in his tree, playing with his wand toys, and evening walks in his stroller. When we lived in Chicago, his favorite place to visit in his stroller was the Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary.

A few more fun facts about Kobal that his nickname is Mr. Kobs, he has a kinked tail, and he loves to be greeted with “stretchies”!" Can you imagine anything more fun for a cat than to be strolled around in a bird sanctuary? We think his mom is giving Kobal a wonderful, happy, safe life!

So please say hi to the one and only Kobal in our practice and then have a wonderful rest of your Wednesday!😊

We met the cutest cat on Instagram and want to introduce him to you!

Meet Dumpling!🎉💙🎉

We have not yet met him in person so we're going to let his mom tell you about him:

"Dumpling is a 3-year-old Mackerel Tabby, and we especially love his pink nose and natural black eyeliner.

He was rescued from the residential streets of Englishtown, NJ, when he was still a kitten.

He has a gentle personality and enjoys meeting people and listening to live music!"

We asked about his name... because of course we did... and learned, "His "human" parents are both music teachers. We name him Dumpling bc there are some types of dumplings in almost every culture. Great music and food is our universal language and make people happy. 🙂 Dumpling is an ambassador who promotes kindness, music, and appreciation!"

Please help us welcome Dumpling to our Carnegie community - we can always use more ambassadors of kindness - and then enjoy the rest of your Monday afternoon.!🤗💙🤗

09/09/2024

We have the prettiest patient to introduce you to today. Meet Oreo! Can you believe she's going to turn 11 soon? We can't! We love her sea foam green eyes, her long whiskers and her white ear tufts. In addition to being beautiful, she's also a sweet, polite, tidy boarder! How's that for a perfect cat?

According to her mom, "Oreo loves to play fetch and steal socks! She is afraid of thunder and growls when the doorbell rings."

Let's hope for no thunder and knocks on the door as opposed to doorbell rings! We want all good things for Oreo.

So please say hi to our friend and then have a wonderful Monday!😊
