·Lacy·

Lacy Marie was our tortoiseshell cat who celebrated her 17th birthday this year!  She was born in April of 1990.  Lacy was the only survivor of her litter and was brought to us by the humane society as a tiny kitten.  She was bottle-fed until she was old enough to make it on her own.  Lacy has always been very curious and playful.  Even in her last days, weakened by kidney failure, Lacy could still be caught playing with her favorite banana toy or running friskily through the clinic.  Lacy had quite a few memorable adventures over the years, including a trip home with one of our clients after she snuck into their pet taxi.  She loved laying in sunbeams, and her fur was as soft as a rabbit's.  Lacy battled chronic cystitis of the bladder for much of her life, and we often joked that Lacy could have no other home but at a veterinary clinic.  Surely no one else would have the patience to deal with her inappropriate urination.  Just the same, we loved her very much.  She was always ready to cuddle, and could melt your heart with her purr.  She had no fear of dogs no matter what their size!  Lacy loved pruning our plants and taking short trips out the back door to snack on grass.  She never seemed to mind the countless times we volunteered her to be a "demo cat", just another hazard of the job as clinic mascot.  Lacy was a very social, playful, loveable cat, and a fixture here at the clinic for over 17 years.  On September 4th we said goodbye to our Lacy Marie. 

We miss her dearly, and we'll never forget her.
