Lola
Clinic Greeter and lover of all things canine!

Lola came to Pet Medical Center in January of 2006. Dr. Cruz found her one evening in the drive way of her home, fed her, and spiffed her up. Lola, realizing she had it made with this lady, decided to start hanging around the house in the hopes of more goodies to come. Fearing that she would be harmed or killed if left out to fend for herself, Dr. Cruz brought her to work to be spayed, vaccinated, and adopted out. Once at the clinic, however, Lola warmed the hearts of everyone who met her, and the decision was made to include her as part of the staff. Lola can be found often times sunning herself in the lobby, waiting for people and dogs to giver her some attention. If they don’t, she makes a concerted effort to amble over to greet them with a head nudge. Lola is a true “dog person” and prefers canines to her own species. Her likes are lounging, puppies, and sitting on clients’ laps in the lobby. Her dislikes include other cats trying to steal attention from her, vaccination day, and days the clinic is closed.

Frankie
Mischievous plant dweller and collector of trinkets and cat toys

Frankie also came to live at Pet Medical Center in January of 2006. As a kitten, Frankie was brought to a colleague's clinic. She was injured in an apartment fire, and had lost the ability to urinate and defecate on her own. The decision was made to keep her and make special arrangements to care for her. Frankie thrived, and became a rambunctious, sweet, and curious kitty with a zest for life that was unparalleled. This however, did not please the resident cat that was already at the other hospital, so Frankie was transferred to Pet Medical Center of Katy to be a companion for Lola, who had just moved in. Although Lola is not a cat aficionado, she loves Frankie and the two became fast friends. Frankie revels in the fact that she is one of only a few cats that does not need to use a litter box, as the staff assists her to poop and pee over the sink several times a day. Her likes are collecting toy mice, wadded paper, and other small objects, attacking faxes as they come across the machine, and hiding in any potted plant or empty box she finds. Her dislikes include being put up in her room every evening, not being fed at exactly 5pm, and not being able to socialize with the boarders, who fascinate her.
