Dr. Herriott 7/31/06 - 11/20/19

Stitch 7/22/11 - 8/26/16

Herriott was brought to SAH by a volunteer that had found her and a sibling as very young kittens in 2006. She quickly proved herself to be a wonderful office cat, and was known to walk across the reception desk, asking for attention from clients and staff. When she was younger, Herriott would partake in all kind of mischievous acts such as tearing open food bags at night, biting holes in IV lines, and setting off the alarm system with her late night prowling. Her favorite place to hide was under the bathtub, where even the nimblest staff member could not reach her. She became cranky when her hair got too long and was thus given a regular lion cut, which she strutted like a runway model. In pure tortie form, she appreciated affection on HER terms, and did not appreciate being chased around the clinic by our staff's children (who only wanted to snuggle her). She did have several favorite people who she would let hold her or perch on their shoulders while they walked around. Dr. Herriott was a much beloved member of our family here at SAH and will terribly missed.

Stitch came to us as a very young kitten in 2011, that had been found after being hit by a car. She had severe injuries, the worst of which being a diaphragmatic hernia, and no known owner. Dr. Short was able to repair the damage, and Stitch quickly made herself at home at the clinic, joining Herriott as our office cats. In the years that followed, her favorite activities included, sleeping in the clean laundry, talking to cats in cages, and hanging out in carriers that did not belong to her. 

Sadly, we are left with a Stitch sized whole in all our hearts after her sudden passing. She was truly one of a kind, and will never be forgotten.
