Uno was our one eyed greeter. You could find her in the lobby or hanging out trying to do receptionist work. Uno crossed the rainbow bridge surrounded by her Freed family on July 10, 2024.  She is greatly missed by all, and fondly remembered for all of her crazy antics.

Spoox can be found wondering around the hospital greeting everyone. When not running around with toys in his mouth, laying on charts, or rearranging syringes, he enjoys a great nap.

Hey! My name’s Turbo and I graduated with honor from the School of Hard Knocks. I’m responsible for a staff of 12-14 people, all of whom I am teaching to drop whatever they are doing to pay attention to me, whenever I want it. My interest include chasing the laser light, sitting on the computer while someone is typing, catnip, supervising chart writing and offering FREE “Cat” Scans to any in house patients that I think need done. Did I mention catnip and my blanket? I have no spare time. Always too busy supervising personal staff, though I do enjoy visiting with patients and socializing. It’s been a godsend that Hampton Animal Control brought me here. I don’t know what these folks would have done without me coming here to guide them along their day to day activities. Did I mention that I like catnip a lot?
