It was nothing but giggles in the exam room with this handsome guy! 🤭😻

Meet Jasper Leon! He visited us for his routine wellness exam, and even though he was feeling a little bit shy, he was absolutely nice, cooperative, and a total dream to work with.

Our amazing vet tech, Marion, kept him feeling safe and secure, while Dr. Marino handled his checkup. Honestly, our favorite part of these photos is just seeing the pure joy on Dr. Marino’s face—we love how she looks at the pets she’s examining with nothing but absolute love in her eyes! 🥹❤️

Routine wellness visits are the best way to keep our feline friends happy, healthy, and thriving. Thank you to Jasper Leon's family for trusting us with his care!

Tomorrow, we celebrate Juneteenth. ✊🏾✨

Also known as Freedom Day or Jubilee Day, June 19th marks the historic day in 1865 when news of emancipation finally reached Galveston, Texas—ensuring freedom for the last remaining enslaved Black Americans, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.

Juneteenth is a vital time to reflect on our nation’s history, honor the resilience and enduring strength of the Black community, and celebrate the rich culture, achievements, and profound impact of Black Americans.

Happy early Juneteenth! ❤️💛💚🖤
