Sumo has requested that any new team members treat her as the queen that she is – she is actually in charge! Our two clinic cats, Sumo and her offsider Freckle, are very important members of our team. They are looking forward to moving into the new hospital and checking out all the cat friendly features which have been incorporated into the design.
