Oliver
Oliver is our 8 year old M/N chocolate point Siamese-American Snowshoe "clinic cat". He was a rescue cat from the Agoura Animal Shelter. Oliver is a very special cat that greets our clients (when he is not sleeping). He is easy-going and loves other cats. He is not as fond of dogs, but is getting used to them. He loves to have his belly rubbed, to lay in his kitty hammock, and to eat sweets (especially cake frosting). We hope Oliver will be with us at Camino Animal Clinic for a long time.

Smokey
Smokey was our gray tabby "clinic cat". He passed away in July 2006 after an extended period of illness. He was such a big part of our clinic and we will miss him greatly. He was very special to all of us. We will never forget him.
