They always say the cat chooses you, you don’t choose the cat. And this couldn’t be more accurate.

Meet Becky (a.k.a. Sunshine, Sunny D, Sunny Girl, Kitty Cat).

Previously homeless, Becky was taken in by one of our referring clinics out in the desert a week or two prior to coming to our facility to be pre-screened for hyperthyroid treatment. While she was here, she made herself right at home and managed to convey to us that San Diego was where she wanted to stay. How could we resist? With all that hair she must have been trying to escape the desert heat. Crafty, Becky. Very crafty. It must be hard to hitchhike when you don’t have opposable thumbs. Our client was already overloaded with other in-house pets, so they were more than happy to let us keep her.

Becky now wanders around our clinic looking for places to nap and scoffs at our staff’s dogs with an air of superiority when they disturb her slumber. She is quite a delight and we are glad to have her here!
