Manny

Manny is our greeter! He enjoys staring at our clients and helps cats in carriers feel more at home. If the carrier door is open - he may be the only cat that LOVES to get into the carrier! When he's not napping or eating, he enjoys lingering around the clinic and finding ways to get to the highest spot of each room so he can scout out his world and enjoy the pets and the people.
