  • MehMeh
    Zorro "Meh-Meh"

    Zorro was brought in as an emergency stray by the Winona Area Animal Control. It was a bone-chilling February night and the animal control officer was very concerned about this little kitten's leg as it was sticking out at a disturbing angle. He was maybe 6 weeks old, a tiny black and white puff. After examining, Dr. Maloney found that Zorro was overall healthy, but the leg was deformed from an old injury that did not heal well. It was still painful, so little Zorro was started on pain medication during the mandatory 5 day hold. Of course, no one stepped up to claim him and in those 5 days, everyone at the hospital fell in love. We decided that Zoomy needed a little brother and Zorro was the perfect fit. First order of business was taking care of his painful, deformed front left leg. He did great with his amputation surgery and never looked back and we have never been happier to have such a love bug in the hospital.

  • Zoomy
    Zoomy

    Zoomy was brought into our clinic in the fall of 2017 by Winona Animal Control. As we held him for his mandatory hold no one stepped up to claim him. We had recently lost our beloved 'Squishee' and Zoom brought back some joy for the team once we decided to keep him. Zoomy is a very independent boy who has a secret soft side during one on one time, then he turns into a snuggle bug. He can typically be found laying in his cardboard box, and has a morning routine of treats and cat nip.

  • Lenny
    Lenny

    Lenny was found hanging out inside a local laundry mat and was brought into us in the fall of 2019. During his stay with us the staff grew a strong attachment to him. We already had Zorro and Zoomy with us and were unsure about a third clinic cat but we are very happy with our decision to keep him. Although, he does like to steal snacks from staff members we still love him. He is a cat with strong personality and is most comfortable around our team, he becomes nervous around strangers but once he is comfortable he will enjoy chasing objects around the clinic with you.
