It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our friend Felix. Felix was helped across the Rainbow Bridge with his closest friends around him on February 13, 2011. He had been a remarkably healthy senior until his last days, when it became apparent that his kidneys were not going to recover, despite our best efforts.
Felix came to the hospital August 9, 1994, after a fall from a balcony caused a badly broken leg. Dr. Dennis Jackson repaired his injuries, but his owners failed to ever pick him up, so he was adopted by the hospital. He became a fixture at reception, where he first adopted the top of the warm computer monitor as a bed, and moved to a more spacious basket when we converted to flat screens and he became more arthritic due to his old injury. Felix had a distinguished career as a blood donor, saving several lives in the process until he was retired due to age. He was a professional food thief and skilled beggar for treats - food was certainly one of his first loves. We'll certainly miss him waving at us for a cookie, and massaging our receptionist's shoulders with his paws to get exactly what he wanted. He knew precisely what time his meals were due at, and which nurse was responsible for providing them!
We'll miss his companionship, and the comfort of his presence at our front desk that has been a feature of the last 17 years.
Thank you Felix, for the time you spent with us.
