My name is Mouse and I’m the clinic cat and feline blood donor. Most don’t know this about me but I am the actual Office Manager, SHHH don’t tell Barb! I can usually be found sleeping in various places, or laying on files they are trying to write in, or begging for treats.I have lived at Bayside since 2009, hence why my Bio picture is me as a kitten. I have been here my whole life and love all our clients, even the Canines.
