| The Cat Doctor CATERWAULER Volume 1, Number 3 187 Watson Rd., Dover, NH (603) 742-MEOW September 28, 2003 GUCCI CELEBRATES THE CAT DOCTOR'S 2ND ANNIVERSARY! Cat Doctor's Mascot says, "Where's my Dinner?" Gucci, the famous cat at the Cat Doctor of Dover, celebrated our second anniversary with an extra portion of his favorite food, k/d with chicken. The staff spent the morning at a "team-building" exercise (Gucci was invited, but chose not to go), had lunch at The Barn Tavern, and then took a tour from the Cocheco River down to the Little Bay and back. The Cat Doctor of Dover first opened our doors on September 24, 2001, and since then we have seen over 1700 cats, have more than 1100 clients, and performed over 6000 examinations and visits. We are certainly thankful for the wonderful response that we have received from the Seacoast community's excellent cat owners. We now have a total of six employees (not including Gucci and Mr. Mistoffelees) whose salaries are contributing to the local economy. For those of you that don't know him, Gucci was given to Dr. Young by a client in Washington state, before the client had to go into the hospital. The lady had named him "Gucci," because he was a "Good, Used Cat (GUC), and had appeared on her doorstep well-fed and friendly. Gucci has now been joined by Mr. Mistoffelees from the Cocheco Valley Humane Society, who still attempts to escape at times (but he'll come back when he's good and ready, thank you). CONDO NAMING CONTEST EXTENDED FOR 2 WEEKS! Dover NH, September 28, 2003: The overwhelming response to the Cat Doctor's "Name That Condo" Contest has obliged us to extend the deadline another two weeks, to make sure that everyone has a chance to enter.

Enter today! CAT DOCTOR WELCOMES NEW VETERINARY ASSISTANT Dover NH, September 2, 2003: Joy is the newest member of The Cat Doctor of Dover's team that cares for your cats. She received her Veterinary Assistant Certificate from the Long Medical Institute in Phoenix, while working at the Arizona Humane Society. She has been in the area for three years, working at other veterinary hospitals, and we are pleased to have her with us. She has four cats (and had up to six, with more as foster cats from the Arizona shelter) and two dogs. She says she "loves working with cats, and the people are very nice here." We are also very lucky to have Diann working with us since April. Diann has worked for many years at the Cocheco Valley Humane Society, and she still fosters many cats and kittens for CVHS as they await new homes. Diann certainly holds the record for the most number of foster cats and kittens: she has had as many as thirty foster animals (after the fire at CVHS two years ago)! You can tell when she is at the Cat Doctor by looking for her license plate parked outside, "KatKrazy." We're just crazy about her working with us! Please stop by and say "hello" to Joy and Diann the next time you're in the area! CAT CARDS AND GIFTS NOW AVAILABLE AT THE CAT DOCTOR! Dover NH, September 20, 2003: The Cat Doctor is now selling cards and magnets with various cat themes by Bottman Designs, featuring the works of artist Erika Oller. The staff just loves them (and are buying them upon their own), so please come in and take a look if someone's birthday or other "special day" is coming up. Dr. Young had difficulty getting special cat messages in the Seacoast area, so we got our own supply for your pleasure!
