Brittany – Clinic Cat

I am the shyest addition to the Boulevard crew. I was living under a shed when my mom reached out to the clinic. My favorite thing to do is find random things on the floor to try and eat whilst running away from the slaves trying to take it away from me. I also love climbing up my slaves as if they were my personal cat tree. I love being pet and stealing human food off the desks of my slaves that work here.

Gates – Clinic Cat

I am the newest addition to the Boulevard cats. I was found at Gateway Storage Unit. I am the crackhead of the clinic and it is my job to keep everyone laughing. I am a typical stubborn black cat and am almost always being mischievous. I am infamous for stealing food off of anybody’s plate, patients included. I am a small black cat, but identify as an 80 lb Rottweiler. I will always accept pets in exchange for biting the hands that literally feed me.

Mimi Karen – Clinic Cat

I’m not too sure what my name is, I have an identity crisis. Some people call me Mimi and some people call me Karen. Luckily, I’ll always come if it includes butt scratches. I LOVE eating and my servants here have insisted on putting me on a diet, but I sometimes sneak into the storage room and tear into bags of dog food. I’m a little grumpy sometimes, but I will always be there if it involves food or love.

Rodney – Clinic Cat

I was found on Rodney Parham by a good samaritan and brought here to improve the lives of these peasants. I am very serious and take a great deal of pride in holding down the printer. I am extremely talkative but if someone I don’t know looks at me I will run as if my life is in danger. I love being the most beautiful cat with the softest fur then refusing to let you touch me.

Waffles – Clinic Cat

 

I am a blessing here in this clinic and they know it. I was found by a Waffle House worker and brought over on a cold evening. I was told I could stay one night, but I cuddled my way into these sucker’s hearts. My best friend is Mimi Karen and I kind of like that dog up front. He’s kind of crazy though. I love attention and will crawl into your lap if you let me!
