Oscar And Ollie, Our Clinic Cats
Oliver “Ollie” is a Domestic Longhair, Black and White. He was brought into the practice around 3 months of age and in need of a home. Dr. Corridon took him in to be Oscar’s buddy. He gets so many compliments on his long white whiskers. Ollie loves visiting the patients (cat or dog). In November 2018 we lost Oscar (our orange tabby), to cancer. While Oscar will always be in our hearts, many things that our newest addition, Mable, does reminds us so much of him! Mable was a 1 year old Calico that Freedom Farm Animal Sanctuary had up for adoption. We took her in for a week to see how Ollie would react. It didn’t take us long to decide that she was a perfect fit here at Hendersonville Animal Hospital. You may hear some staff call her Karen, we just like human names for pet’s. If you or your family has allergies to cat’s and/or your dog isn’t cat friendly, please let us know and we will put our cats away while you are visiting our hospital. We don’t want anyone to be uncomfortable.
