Gordie is one of our company’s mascots. He is almost 11-years-old. He likes to play tug-o-war with the countless stuffed animals in the hospital. He loves to run back and forth with the 2 golden retrievers (Avery and Oakley) that live behind the hospital, that we have labeled as his girlfriends. Gordie and Lily were siblings and the best of friends and each others everything, and since she passed he has missed her endlessly and has taken on the roll of speaking his opinions.

Shanny is another one of the hospital’s mascots. He is 12-years-old. He was found at a camp ground nearby fighting with a racoon when he was just a kitten and a previous technician brought him in. Dr. Cory immediately fell in love with him and decided to give him the best life in the hospital as our office kitty alongside 3. They were absolute buddies and he has been distraught and taken on the roll of greeting guests now. He loves the outside when we let him (never alone!). His favorite snack is lobster temptations. He is the cuddliest and clingiest kitty. He is definitely Aunt Cori’s boy - no doubt!

In memory of 3 (2014-2025). He was almost 11-years-old. He was another one of the company’s mascots. He was the office kitty that was taken in and cared for by Dr. Cory and all the staff. He was shot in the back leg with all the bullet fragments all throughout his back half and left in a ditch as a young kitten, when a team member found him and brought him in. He was about to lose his back leg (hence the name!) but Dr. Cory managed to save it. He made his presence known by sitting on the front desk counter and saying hi to everyone that passed by. He absolutely loved to sit in the sun and bask in all its glory.

In memory of Lily (2010-2025). She was about 14.5-years-old. She was Dr. Cory’s best girl and a mascot for the office. She unfortunately was diagnosed in her later years with low grade soft tissue sarcoma cancer that she fought for many years like the absolute warrior she was. She had multiple removals to try and control the spread, but she never let those surgeries or treatments keep her down. She was a true warrior princess through it all. Lily was our feisty old lady and the sweetest girl but definitely set in her ways and did not like her boundaries to be crossed. She always spoke her opinions aloud and made her presence known.
