Libby Lobby
My name is Libby, and I am the clinic cat at Memorial 610 Hospital for Animals. When I was a much younger cat with not much street sense, I needed some kind people to help me and I found my way to Memorial 610, and I’ve never looked back! The floor guy was kind enough to find me in my cage on the front porch after someone dropped me at my new crib, so he brought me indoors and set me up in the front reception lobby. I greeted my new family first thing in the morning! I lounge around the treatment area, boss the humans around, and generally observe all the daily antics (from as high a perch as possible). I like to annoy my humans by being under foot as often as possible or by laying on their keyboards. I have been known to be bit snarky at times, but I only nibble people’s fingers (I don’t ACTUALLY bite them). While I am constantly begging for food, the humans always come through with my meals (although sometimes not according to my time clock). I think it’s a pretty good gig for a reformed street cat!
