Meet Our Cats
Oliver (left) and Gizmo (right)
Our current hospital cats, Oliver is a Russian Blue, while Gizmo is an orange tabby. They enjoy greeting our hospitals clients each day.
Toby
Toby was a unique domestic shorthair. His funny character always livened the atmosphere. Dr. Basilious rescued Toby at the age of one when he was abandoned by his owner and almost put down for being aggressive. Toby then became a hospital cat because the doctor wanted to give the young and healthy cat a chance. Unfortunately, he passed away several years ago, at the age of 17 years old.
Noah
Noah was an amazing cat. He was a domestic shorthair who was always friendly and social with all clients. Before opening Bastet, Dr. Basilious worked at an animal hospital where Noah was brought in after being found on the street with an umbilical cord wrapped around his leg. The young kitten was close to loosing one of his legs before the doctor performed surgery and saved him. After opening Bastet, the staff at that animal hospital gave Noah to Dr. Basilious as a gift. He sadly passed away several years ago at the age of 17 1/2 years old.
Toofee
Toofee was a beautiful Persian cat. She was given to Dr. Basilious as a gift from a former client when Bastet first opened. She and Dr. Basilious were inseparable until her death at the age of 17 years old.
