Stinky - Hospital Cat
Stinky is Symphony Vet Center's resident cat. Due to a car accident when she was a kitten, Stinky is partially paralyzed and incontinent, which limits her duties as a lap cat. She is affectionate with those humans who meet her approval, and is suprisingly agile. Despite being on permanent medication, she couldn't be happier living as our hospital cat. |
