We would like to introduce you to SLICK. Slick came to Dr. McFarland in the summer of 1994 after having been shot by a jerk with a BB gun. A good samaritan brought Slick to Dr. McFarland and essentially said "I found this cat. If you want to help, OK, but I'm unable." So...Dr. McFarland took Slick in as a member of the clinic family.

Turns out that Slick is paralyzed in his back legs. But that doesn't stop him. Dr. McFarland had a special cart made for him by K-9 Carts in Pennsylvania. Now, Slick is the official Cat Doctor greeter. He roams all over the clinic and says hi to everyone. In fact, Slick never met a cat he didn't like. He especially loves kittens.

2003 Update

Slick spent 10 happy years at The Cat Doctor, working as our official greeter. He was featured on ABC NEWS, Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover"s Soul, and even made it into a national tabloid. His willingness to cope with a wheelchair and chronic health challenges, while thoroughly enjoying his life was inspirational to all who knew him. He passed away peacefully at the age of 14, surrounded by the Cat Doctor staff who had cared for him so faithfully.
