Lien Animal Clinic has always had resident clinic cats which live, work and play in
the clinic. During the day the clinic cats have free run of the hospital. It takes a
special cat to live in a veterinary hospital. He or she must be friendly and enjoy
the company of many other animals. In addition to being our pets, the clinic cats
periodically donate blood for some of our most critically ill patients. Each of our
clinic cats has helped save the lives of other felines.

Flower -
Flower was left on our doorstep on a cold December night in 2003. She quickly
worked her way into all our hearts, and currently spends much of her time sitting
on the reception desk waiting for attention. Flower loves treats and will give you a
high-five to get one.

Miss B. -
In the summer of 2007, Miss B, or Beverly as she is also called, was introduced
to us by King County Animal Control. Miss B was originally brought to our clinic
to have surgery done to repair her eyelids so that she could be placed in adoption.
During her stay with us she won the hearts of all the staff and was promptly adopted
by our clinic. Beverly also has a special blood type (Type B), which makes her
perfect as a blood donor for our patients needing Type B blood. You can meet Beverly
any day in the waiting room where she wanders waiting for people to pet her.

Peggy -
Peggy, our newest clinic cat, also came to us from Animal Control. She was picked up as a stray
with a broken leg and chest trauma. She was treated at 5 Corner’s Emergency Clinic and had a splint
placed on her broken front leg. When her leg failed to heal properly, she came to us to have the
leg amputated and we grew too attached to her to let her go back to Animal Control. Despite having
only three legs, Peggy gets around very well and has no problem jumping up on furniture. Peggy
adapted very quickly to life as a clinic cat and loves to sleep on the doctors’ chairs in the back office.
