She is the perfect mixture of sweet and sour. She has the rare personality to be the perfect clinic cat - she enjoys the attention she receives from our wonderful clients and keeps her distance when necessary. She can usually be found lounging on Emma's desk or taking a nap in her window hammock in the reception area. She constantly keeps us laughing and we are so thankful she chose GVC as her forever home.
