IN MEMORIAM

Big Red – Goodwill Ambassador (2002-2017)

Big Red started life out on the streets.  He came to us as a town stray in 2002. We instantly fell in love with him and he fell in love with the “they cater to my every whim, indoor cat” lifestyle.  He works hard every day helping with lab work (climbing on our shoulders and purring while we look through the microscope), oversees paperwork (you can see how hard he works at that in his picture) and making sure all the animals here have a comfortable stay (especially stray kittens the town brings…he is SUCH a good foster dad!!).  He is a integral part of the team and we can’t imagine a workday without him!

Sadly, we had to say goodbye to Big Red in August.  He was such a big part of our lives and so many of our clients lives that we have decided to leave his picture up to honor him and all the love he gave.
