Meet Thomas Owens
Thomas Owens is a former
resident cat of the Avondale Cat Hospital. He was Adopted from the Cat
Hospital in 2001 by Debbie & Arthur Owens. His veterinarian is Dr. Kyle
Malter.
Thomas enjoyed his time living at the Cat Hospital, but now he hates to go back
for his check-ups and boarding times. During his medical visits he growls at
everyone who touches him. He especially hates having his temperature taken! At
home he's a very happy cat who spends his time snuggling with Debbie in the
recliner, licking his catnip fish, and in the summer lounging on the screened
porch.
Our thanks to Arthur & Debra Owens for this great photo!
