| Hospital Mananger |
Angie Sala’s family has been clients here from the beginning (1981) and we have watched her grow up. You could say we groomed her for her job. In actuality it is her natural talent and sense of humor that make her so valuable. She has been with us since 1996. Angie has a salt water aquarium, a cat named Gus, whom she has raised from 2 days old, and a black lab named Cooper. She is studying to get her registered veterinary technician license. Angie loves to go to the ocean, take hikes, go camping, and spend time with her family and fiancé, Paul.

| Our Friends |
“Rusty”
Our large yellow and white cat was adopted from the Sacramento SPCA in 1999 for Dr. Taylor’s father in law. When he could no longer take care of him, we brought him to the hospital to live. Although he was previously declawed, he is the most agile cat at climbing, opening full size doors and hiding in closets. He loves to lounge on the front counter and greet clients |
|
“Sal”
Our large, long haired brown tabby cat was once called “Sally” when Animal Control brought him in as a stray with a broken leg. After we fixed his leg and adjusted his name we kept him because Rusty was his best friend |
|
“Chilly” Is our cockatiel that was left on the door step with skin problems. He is very lively as you can hear when you visit us.
