Lucky

Lucky is another one of our cats that live at Animal Medical Center.  Lucky was found as a stray at the Culp's old house and was adopted by them.  He is a miracle cat in that he happened to be sick when the Culp's home was destroyed by fire so he was staying at AMC at that time.  Normally he stayed home and guarded their house while they were gone.  Unforunately, he did not adapt very well to the move to a new home so he now resides at the clinic. He says his favorite reason for "working" at AMC is being around such loving and nutrturing individuals who occasionally sneak him a cookie or two and overall spoil him rotten.
