Cordelia
was brought to HRAH as a stray that had been hit by a car. She suffered
a broken femoral head which was not surgically repairable. After her rehabilitation
was complete, attempts were made to place Cordelia in a loving home,
however, she had other ideas. She has now become our clinic cat
and has mellowed quite a bit though she can still be a little persnickety.
We love her dearly and if you are ever in the lobby, she may come
up and sit in your lap. |

Sandy is our recently graduated Certified Veterinary
Technician from the PCC program. She worked here at Hart Road as
our weekend Kennel Technician while attending school. Now that
her two children are in college, Sandy has changed careers from
many years as a Navy Hospital Corpsman/Laboratory Technician,
and then homemaker. She has five cats (Bright Eyes, Fozzie,
Macy, Zuki, and Isis), and a dog (Paprika), living in her home.
She splits her time between family, work, and extra curricular
activities. Since her youngest was born, Sandy has been active
in the art of Taiji, and is currently attending the U.S. Wushu
Center in Portland. Sandy also likes to hike and visit new
places. In her spare time, she loves to do all types of
needlecrafts and sewing |

Kattie is originally from Yakima, WA. She moved to Oregon in 2003
with her two beautiful boys. They spend a
lot of time exploring Portland. They enjoy hiking, riding bikes, and
sightseeing. Kattie enjoys writing poems and drawing, and hopes one
day to write a book. She is musically inclined, playing the
accordion, piano, drums and her newly acquired guitar. Her
boys love music too, so they hope to all play together one day.
Kattie recently adopted her very first pet, Grover. He is a
very sweet orange tabby Ellen brought in as a stray with an
abscess. Dr. Bennett successfully repaired it and he
remained in Hart Road's care until his adoption in January.

Gilligan is a transplant from Seattle and arrived with Dr.
Bennett. He is possibly the friendliest cat your will ever meet.
If you hold him, he will give you kisses. Gilligan suffers from
diabetes and requires daily insulin therapy. He also has food
allergies, thus, he lives very happily in
the controlled environment of HRAH. Realistically, no one else
could afford all his medical care so he is very lucky to have
found a mom that is also a veterinarian |

Wendy
was a new edition to Oregon in April, 2007, having started her
career as a Veterinary Assistant in California’s Central Coast
15 months earlier. She loves it here, and is dedicated to
becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician in the grand state
of Oregon. You will often find Wendy perusing the local library
for new movies to watch, exploring her new surroundings, and
brushing many little kitty teeth. Wendy shares the love and
responsibility of her four “fur-children” (cats) with her
girlfriend. Lady Olivia Chestnut, Sir Pippin, Poe Sparrow, and
Dickens Nottinghamshire were each rescued from different
situations in a one-year period during Wendy’s veterinary career
in California |

and has her own personal zoo at home. She has five cats (Buffy,
Eddie, Ollie, Tiger, and Snuggles). She also cares for a yellow

nurse. Krystal enjoys traveling to Bakersfield, California to

Dickens Nottinghamshire has become quite the celebrity
here at Hart Road. He was united with Wendy after a Good
Samaritan found him on the side of the road, without the ability
to walk. Radiographs showed a bullet in his spine, causing him
to lose the use of his back legs and bladder. The bullet remains
to this day, and Dickens relies on Wendy to express his bladder
two times a day. He now has the use of a Kitty Cart Wendy
constructed to allow him better mobility. Dickens enjoys the
slick floors at Hart Road, so it is not unusual to find him
wheeling around the hospital. |
