Sabre is our one and only hospital cat. He is a 17-year-old Persian. He has been with us since he was a kitten. He spends his days hanging out in the offices upstairs with our Practice Manager’s cat and Elvin, Dr. Tolchin’s dog. He can be temperamental at times but if he could talk would tell you he’s just trying to help us do our work!
