Zippy
Office Cat
Zip came to our clinic for surgery and ended up staying with us. She takes her role as assistant receptionist and greeter very seriously. She is always right at the door to greet every pet and owner who walks through. Her interests include eating, disappearing, climbing on people, talking, and sleeping! Zippy does not like being loved on unless you are sitting in her chair, being held, her diet, nail trims, and anything else that is not her idea.

Helen
Clinic Cat Helen has been at the clinic for almost four years. She is mostly blind and prefers to live in the back, although she does venture up to the front. Helen's interests include eating, sleeping, attacking staff members in the hallways, catching flies, eating cat nip, garbage diving, finding things in the lab, causing general mayhem. Helen disliked affection when it is not initiated by her, being brushed, and being messed with in general when not initiated by her. Regardless of her sassy-ness, we love Helen, and the day is much more entertaining with her around! |

Speedy
Clinic Mascot Dr. Rustebakke has had Speedy for almost 22 years! Speedy enjoyed running around in the round-pen, going on trail rides, or just going out for a ride in general. Speedy passed away on May 28th, 2019. While he may be gone, he will always remain a mascot for the clinic, and hold a special place in our hearts. |
