Marmie, Greeting & Welcoming Supervisor

To help calm anxious feelings and make everyone feel welcome, Marmie acts as our greeter. When she isn't taking a nap, she's busy wandering about the pet clinic, assisting the veterinarian and making the patients and their families feel more at ease. You'd never guess from looking at her, but Marmie is blind.

Ms. Pacman, Entertainment

The newest addition to our pet clinic is Ms. Pacman, a rescue kitty turned entertainer. Also proficient at nap-taking, Ms. Pacman is full of energy and loves to perform for anyone who is willing to watch.
