Sammy, Our Hospital Ambassador
Sammy is a seal point Siamese cat who tends to be very laid back (some say lazy) and lovable. He was found under the mobile home of some nice people who eventually coaxed him out and brought him to University Hills Animal Hospital for a wellness exam. Here in his new home, Sammy is content to stay in the staff lunchroom in the basement enjoying his favorite pastimes: sleeping on his comfy pillow, eating (including helping himself to unguarded people lunches), playing with his feather toy and having his head rubbed.
