Tito

Clinic Cat

Tito was found as a stray in Lansing. At the time, the shelter had no open cages so we made room for him with us. He was with us for 2 weeks and we all fell in love with him. Dr. Bruner made the command decision that we needed another office cat so she opened the cage door and that was that. He and Romeo had a few spats at first but now they are BFFs. Believe it or not, Tito was at his ideal body weight when he was found. Even though he’s on a strict diet, he finds ways to over indulge. He tries to steal food from cages, he opens bags of food from the lobby, he thinks he is starving all the time. You will usually find him up front greeting people or laying on the xerox machine. It’s exhausting begging for food all the time.

Sabrina

Clinic Cat

Sabrina came to us a few years ago to visit and never left. She’s become a wonderful co-worker and friend to Tito. She can often be found up front looking for love or dishing out sass. Otherwise, she’s snoozing in her bed in the back.
