Vivian Louise, our long-lived and much-loved resident hospital cat, took her last nap on September 4, 2020.

It’s said that some cats have nine lives. If that’s the case, Vivian Louise lived multitudes.

Her kittenhood was spent with her brother, Godfrey, and Dr. Gay and Luchi, who adopted the duo in August 2001. The next year, Vivian Louise broke her leg under mysterious circumstances – never begrudge a lady her secrets – and, after being treated and recuperating here at PAH, she stayed on, excelling in her role as clinic mascot.

During her 19 remarkable years on this earth, she specialized in walking across keyboards, knocking things off counters, and dunking her head in whatever water glass she could find. Long-time clients probably remember seeing her sneaking into exam rooms and roaming the hospital halls as if she owned them.  

Rest in Peace, Vivian Louise, the very queen of cats.
