Skye

Practice Cat

Skye, the practice cat, has been working hard since she joined us nine years ago. A small, scared, and nearly frozen kitten mysteriously showed up in the practice backyard on a frigid winter morning in 1997. With lots of love, attention, and medical care we were able to nurse little Skye back to health. Since then Skye has taken her role here at Blue Sky very seriously. She is a CHABS – a certified human-animal bond specialist. She loves her work and has no plans on retiring anytime soon.

Skye is very proud of her pearly white teeth, which she keeps sparkly clean with regular dental cleanings and routine applications of Oravet. In the fall of 2005, Skye developed an intermittent lameness that was diagnosed as a luxating patella (a loose kneecap).  Dr Johnson performed surgery to repair her knee in the spring of 2006. After a short stay at Dawn’s house to recuperate (including lots of physical therapy and TLC), Skye returned to once again rule the roost at Blue Sky.

While on duty, Skye’s special interests include: bossing around the other team members, comforting waiting clients, and mentoring patients on good patient etiquette.  In her free time, Skye enjoys a variety of hobbies - napping, eating, playing and purring!
