Dizzy is our long term resident cat. She is 15 years old. She was originally a stray. She had a bad inner ear infection when she was first brought to Cheshire Cat Clinic. The ear infection cleared up but she still "runs in circles". Hence her name "Dizzy". When she was younger, she was a blood donor for some of the sick anemic cats. Now that she's retired, she spends most of her time on our waiting room benches or begging for C.E.T. tartar prevention chews.

"Babies" is a beautiful 5 year old flame-point Persian. He was brought to Cheshire Cat Clinic through a friend of a former employee. His owners just couldn't get his flea problem under control. He had a very resistant case of fleas. After his hair was shaved off, the flea control medications finally worked. He is a very sweet mellow and clingy cat. He does have polycystic renal disease of Persians so we are monitoring his kidney values closely. Babies even has his own "fan club". He earns his living by modelling his "Cheshire Cat Clinic" lion cut.

Hatchy is a 13-year-old male domestic shorthair. We acquired him in March 2004 when his 25 year old companion cat passed away. His owner was moving to Boston and could not take him. So she brought him in to be euthanized. He was too healthy to be euthanized. An agreement with his owner was made: to have us find a new home for him and she would contribute what the cost of the euthanasia would have been. Well, finding a home for an older cat has been very difficult and we are still trying...he has his routines...sleeps next to a computer monitor, begs for Mozzarella cheese and crackers, and stalks or gets chased by "Babies". He is up to date on shots and in excellent health...
