• Tortilla B. Meana

  
  

  Tortilla was brought to us in early 2005 as a stray in need of a good home. After her arrival, Dr Veling decided she would be a perfect match to be our new clinic cat. She spends the majority of her time lounging in his office or sunbathing by a window. She can be a bit mischevious at times, but she always makes us smile.
