Clinic Cats
Mowgli
We adopted Mowgli just over one year ago. He came from a very loving family and calls Robert his brother now. Although Mowgli is not our poster child for a healthy cat, he has stolen the hearts of everyone. Mowgli loves when he gets attention from the ladies and loves to lounge on the counter, showing off his constant winter body.
