Resident Cats

Putty & Iris
Resident Cats
PuttyTwo neighborhood boys found brother and sister in the woods on July 29th of 2002. They brought them to the hospital where Dr. Eddy was performing surgery. The staff held the two little kittens up to the window and said P-L-E-A-S-E!! Her heart melted. The two have ruled the roost ever since. You may notice them wearing bulky collars. These are for an invisible fence system that helps them from running outside and also keeps them from turning the food display area into a buffet.

Putty often participates in continuing education by sleeping on the doctor's textbooks. In his spare time Putty enjoys scouring the floor for food crumbs and playing with feathers. Iris considers playing with feathers and toys to be beneath her. Her hobbies include greeting people at the front desk and creating large hairballs for the receptionists to clean.

IrisPutty and Iris will sometimes answer our clients' questions on our News Page. If you have a question for them you may send it to puttyandiris@poquosonvet.com Please tell them who you are and which of your pets they may have met when you write so they might try and remember you.
