Buddy, our Feline Blood Donor
Buddy is the newest and youngest of the hospital cats and was acquired as a stray in 2009. A large and friendly cat, he is quite bold and frequently goes up to the reception area looking for a willing human to play with.

Because of his large size and easy going nature, he is the perfect donor for those critical cat patients needing a blood transfusion.
