Really this is what the clinic is celebrating

Don't forget that Saint Patrick is not the only saint whose feast day is March 17. It is also the feast of Saint Gertrude of Nivelles, the patron saint of cats and the people who love them. (Meme art from an original work by Carolee Clark, King of Mice Studios)

I may not be Irish but I still want a Kiss. Happy St. Patrick's Day form Franklin and the staff at Metro Cat Clinic.

There are some creatures in life that touch the hearts of many. One of the outdoor cats, known by many names but by us as Twinkle Toes, was one of them. She was so sweet and friendly yet chose to keep to her outdoor lifestyle. We had to say goodbye to her today. We suspect she licked up some antifreeze which destroyed her kidneys. Many from the staff at MCC and Ragtime Cafe came to say goodbye. Rest well, Miss Twink, you were well beloved by many.

“A happy arrangement: many people prefer cats to other people, and many cats prefer people to other cats.” Franklin showing his love for Julie, our Rainbow Bridge Conductor.

World Spay Day - Lets help control the pet population.

Big Boy(cat with green toy) and Pretty Girl(cat with blue toy) are in need of a new home! Their person had just moved to Birmingham to be close to family, but became ill, was hospitalized for over a month, and sadly passed away without seeing them again. They are 5 year old tabby siblings from the same litter and are in good health. They are up to date on all their vaccinations and just had a Vet Wellness visit in January. The owner’s son is looking for a home for both, but is willing to separate them if necessary. Both kitties are a bit shy but love to be petted and are “lap” kitties (they also love catnip toys!). These two sweet babies have had their world turned upside down and desperately need love and affection. Their best home would be quiet, loving and consistent without other pets or young children.
