Need a little kitten energy on your beautiful Tuesday?
Willie came into Urgent Care today for diarrhea, but that didnāt stop his spunky attitude! Dr. Christ, Carl, and Alyssa took fabulous care of him! What a sweetie! š„°
Meet our March Pet of the Month- Rafiki!
My name is Rafiki. It is my honor to accept the Pet of the Month distinction. I would like to thank the kind staff at Orchard for choosing me. My story starts with my dad, who was smitten the moment I walked over his foot on the front porch as a 12-week-old kitten. I was a stray, and he begged Mom to adopt me. She will tell you how glad she is that she said yes! "Rafiki" means "friend" in Swahili.
I believe I am well-named, as I am a friend to all. When I meet you, I am likely to put my front paws up on your leg for you to pick me up. Then I will put my front legs around your neck and purr. If you walk into any room where I am, I will always say hello. Mom and Dad will tell you that I am an excellent mouser. Any mouse that dares set foot in our house is a goner even before Mom or Dad see any signs of a mouse.
I groom my companion dog, Minka, every day, to make sure her face is as clean as my own. I enjoy sleeping in patches of sunlight, massaging Mom and Dad's shoulders, and especially, suppertime. āRafiki Giordano
