Scooter is the official greeter of GAH. She came to GAH in the fall of 2003. Scooter was living on one of the Cron’s neighbor’s porches because she did not have good bathroom habits. Everytime Diana and Elizabeth Cron came by walking our dog, she came running , or rather scooting out to greet us . We were smitten. When we were finally able to talk to her owner, we found that she had been bitten in the back by a dog when she was just a kitten. Despite earlier medical treatment, she had permanent damage to her spine in the area that controls bladder, bowels and hind legs.

Scooter’s owner allowed us to bring Scooter into our office for a diagnostic workup and treatment, and ultimately to stay. While her physical challenges would make it difficult for her to live in a home, she does the best when she can get plenty of time to scoot around. We decided to adopt her as our permanent mascot. Scooter is quite the lucky cat to have all her medical needs (and her whims) tended to by the dedicated staff of GAH.

Her primary jobs are to greet clients and patients by day and keep the other clinic cats in line at night. She is well loved and has found a forever home in our hospital and the hearts of our team members and clients.

Angus has been a GAH family member since August 2008 (date?) . He was extremely ill when he came in and needed aggressive treatment and a long period of hospitalization to get better. When he finally did, we found that he is a VERY cool cat, but nobody we knew was looking for a cat with quite as much energy as he has. He and Axl also became bonded rather quickly and now they are inseparable. His favorite spot to sleep is on a computer printer where he often turns it on himself so he can paw at the paper as it shoots out. He loves to help type medical records with anyone that will let him. His secret wish is to someday get Scooter’s job, as he loves to say “Hello – pet me and see what I can do and how fast I can run and how much trouble I can get into but aren’t I so cute doing it so you really can't get mad at this sweet face, can you? ” to everyone that comes in.

Axl has been a Glenway Animal Hospital family member since August of 2008. He had a severely shattered rear leg due to a run in with a cat-hating dog. We were unsure we could save his life, much less his leg, but after several lengthy surgeries, pins, wires, and screws, and lots of TLC, (including Elizabeth Cron’s cast off Care Bears as nursemaids and cagemates), he recovered nicely. Can you even tell which leg had the problem? We can’t either, but we have LOTS of x-rays to prove it. He can dash around the office as well as the next guy. As it turned out, Axl showed up just about the time that our beloved “Orange” (our first “office” cat) began his downward spiral from cancer. When Orange passed on, Axl took his place as the Orange Office Cat. It seems GAH is now destined to have one .
