Gibbs
The Clinic Cat
Gibbs was brought to PVPH in September 2018 as a stray kitten. After unsuccessfully trying to locate a previous owner, Gibbs became the clinic cat. He enjoys treats, naps, and playing with the pets as they visit the clinic. He even knows how to sit and shake! Gibbs is very fashion forward and has an impressive collection of bow ties. In true cat style, he is also a little mischievous and will knock liquids over, explore high places, and steal your food! Gibbs has become a part of our family and is an invaluable part of life at PVPH.
