🐆✨ Meet Maximillion!✨🐆

Four months old, approximately 87% paws, 10% face, and 3% actual kitten. 😂🐾

Maximillion is a seriously stunning Bengal—and while Bengals are often known for those warm, reddish tones, this handsome guy is a gorgeous black-and-silver/gray that makes him look just a little extra exotic. 🖤🩶 And those paws?! 😳 We have a feeling this boy is going to be one BIG, handsome kitty when he grows up!

He came in for his kitten wellness visit so we could make sure everything was looking good, confirm his microchip, get those important vaccines, and—perhaps most importantly—talk about how to keep a Bengal kitten like Maximillion busy, entertained, and out of trouble. 😂

Because this boy has ENERGY. ⚡️

He loves to play… and sometimes he loves to play just a little TOO enthusiastically.😼 His play can get a bit aggressive when he’s really excited, which isn’t unusual for a young kitten, but it’s a great time to start teaching appropriate play behaviors. Interactive toys, puzzles, food hunts, climbing opportunities, and plenty of appropriate things to chase and pounce on can help keep that busy Bengal brain and body occupied. 🧠🐾

And when Mom puts him safely in his own little room at night?

Well… let’s just say Maximillion has opinions about confinement. 😂

Apparently, left to his own devices, this tiny Bengal mastermind can find approximately 47 ways to get into mischief before breakfast. 🐆💨 So keeping him safe while also giving him plenty of appropriate opportunities to explore is going to be quite the adventure!

We’re so excited that we get to watch this handsome boy grow up—and we have a feeling he’s going to be one spectacularly handsome gentleman. ❤️

Lily got some quality cuddle time with him during his visit, and honestly… we’re not sure who enjoyed it more. 🥰🐱

Until next time, Maximillion… please try to stay out of trouble.
(We know. We’re asking a lot.) 😂

There's something almost magnetic about a pair of eyes finding you in the dark 🖤🐱. But the superstition behind that mystery has real consequences, black cats face a documented rise in cruelty and cruel pranks around Halloween every single year. Please keep yours indoors until the season passes.

🎉🐾 ONE YEAR BACK AT ALPINE! 🐾🎉

Help us celebrate Cheyenne — or Chey, as we affectionately call her — on her one-year anniversary with Alpine Animal Hospital!** 💙

This isn’t actually Chey’s first time around the Alpine block. 😉 She was part of our team years ago, but life has a funny way of taking us on unexpected turns, twists, detours, and adventures. For a while, her path took her in a few different directions… but thankfully, that path eventually led her right back to us! 🙌🐾

And boy, are we glad it did. ❤️

Chey is smart, witty, funny as all get-out, incredibly kind and thoughtful, and one of those people who has a way of making everyone around her feel included. She’s a go-getter, she takes charge, she jumps in when something needs to be done, and she brings a whole lot of personality to the team. 😂

As a veterinary technician, she is an incredible asset to our patients and our team. She cares deeply — about her patients, her coworkers, our clients, and especially her family. She brings compassion and confidence to her work, and she genuinely wants to make things better for the people and pets around her. 🩺❤️🐶🐱

Chey, we are SO happy that life eventually brought you back to Alpine. Sometimes the road takes a few unexpected turns, but every once in a while, it brings you exactly where you’re supposed to be. ❤️

Thank you for bringing your humor, heart, intelligence, energy, compassion, and Chey-ness back to our Alpine family. We are incredibly lucky to have you — again! 🥰

Happy 1-Year Anniversary, Chey! Here’s to many more! 🎉🐾💙

🎉🎂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NATALIE! 🎂🎉

We have double the reason to celebrate this girl! 🥳 Not only are we wishing Natalie the happiest of birthdays, but we’re also celebrating her recent graduation from CMC and becoming a Certified Veterinary Technician! 🎓🐾🩺

Natalie is one of the newest members of our Alpine family, and we are SO happy she chose to join our team. ❤️

We love her generosity, her kindness, and her genuinely thoughtful heart. She’s the kind of person who loves to celebrate people, decorate for ALL the things, recognize accomplishments, and make sure everyone feels appreciated. 🎈✨ And somehow, she manages to do it all while being funny, down-to-earth, and always ready to learn something new.

Natalie, we’re excited to watch you grow, learn, laugh, celebrate, and continue becoming an amazing veterinary technician right here with us. We’re grateful you chose Alpine, and we can’t wait to see what this next chapter brings! 🐶🐱💕

Vet techs are the ones running labs, holding paws during shots, and catching the small details vets rely on 🩺💙. This week, we're giving them the credit they deserve.

🐾💙 Celebrating Our Veterinary Technicians! 💙🐾

It’s Veterinary Technician Week, and we couldn’t let the week go by without celebrating the incredible team behind so much of what happens at Alpine Animal Hospital. 🩺🐾

These are the people who draw blood, run lab work, place IV catheters, monitor anesthesia, assist in surgery, take radiographs, clean teeth, help in appointments, comfort nervous patients, educate clients, clean up messes (sometimes BIG ones 😳), and somehow manage to keep everything moving when the day gets a little… Alpine. 😂 And while we are all trained to do many of the same things, each person brings their own strengths, talents and expertise to the team.

We learn from each other. We teach each other. We step in when someone needs help. We celebrate each other’s strengths, and when one of us knows something better than the rest of us, we’re pretty happy to let them shine. ✨

And yes… just like any family, we occasionally frustrate each other, too. 😉 But at the end of the day, we remember the bigger picture. We chose this profession because we believe deeply in the human-animal bond, and we want to make a difference in the lives of both patients and the people who love them. ❤️🐶🐱

And we chose Alpine because we believe in what happens here — compassionate medicine, continued learning, supporting one another, and giving our patients and clients the very best we can.

And speaking of our team… you may notice that Amy, our lead technician, isn't actually in the group photo. 😆

But there was NO WAY we were taking a team picture without her!

So, naturally, we printed out a picture of her head, attached it to a popsicle stick, and Chey proudly brought Amy along for the photo. 😂😂

To Cheryl, Lillian, Danielle, Chey, Nayeli, Natalie, Amy — and all of the veterinary technicians who pour their knowledge, skill, patience and compassion into this profession every single day — thank you.

Thank you for the early mornings, the late nights, the difficult cases, the messy moments, the victories, the learning, the laughter, and most of all, for caring so deeply. 🐾❤️

Happy Veterinary Technician Week! 🩺🐾❤️
