Fenrir
Clinic Cat/Supervisor
Fenrir joined the Nose to Tail family when he was left at the clinic front door at a very young age with a broken leg. After several weeks in a splint, he was healed enough to be able to leave the confinement of his kennel. He now spends his time protecting the second and third floors of the clinic, stealing food from staff lunches, and generally causing chaos. He ensures that all patients in the clinic are receiving the best possible care and routinely makes his rounds to ensure that all team members are working hard.

Mookie
Former Clinic Cat/Supervisor
Mookie brought great joy to the clinic, whether she was "helping" with things around the clinic, rooting around in staff lunches looking for some nibbles, or cuddling up in the worst/best possible places, Mookie was always making people smile. She will be missed and will always be remembered.
