🐱🧡 Happy National Cat Day! 🧡🐱

Today we’re celebrating some very special members of the MVH family — the cats of our amazing Team! 🐾

From cuddly lap cats to independent little weirdos (we love them all 😹), our Team knows firsthand just how much personality, love, and CAT-titude these furry family members bring into our lives.

Here are some of our Team’s feline companions! 📸🐈

Give your cat an extra treat, a little cuddle, and maybe forgive them for whatever they knocked off the counter last night. 😂❤️

Please help us welcome our newest Team Member, Erica! 👏🏼🌞

My name is Erica! I have a degree in Marine Science and moved to the Florida Keys in 2023, where I’ve been working with marine life in animal husbandry. I’m excited to broaden my career, expand my passion for animal care beyond the ocean, and begin a new adventure as a Veterinary Assistant!

Outside of work, I’m a proud fur mom to two cats and newly rescued a 2-year-old Golden Retriever mix. In my free time, I love beach days, snorkeling, and spending quality time with my family and friends.

I’m so excited for this new chapter, to continue learning and growing, and to make a difference in the lives of even more furry friends!

🐢🌿 Happy Reptile Awareness Day! 🌿🐢

Today we're celebrating some of our slower-moving—and seriously cool—friends! Meet Cosmo & Wanda, our resident tortoises here at Marathon Veterinary Hospital. 💚

Tortoises may move at their own pace, but caring for them is anything but simple! Proper reptile husbandry is an important part of keeping these unique pets healthy and thriving. Their environment, temperature, UVB lighting, humidity, diet, and access to appropriate space all play a HUGE role in their health.

And one of the most important things to remember? Reptiles are experts at hiding illness. By the time you notice something is wrong, they may have been sick for quite some time.

🐢 Regular veterinary wellness exams can help catch problems early and make sure your tortoise's husbandry is meeting their needs.

Cosmo & Wanda would also like to remind everyone that slow does not mean boring! 😉

Drop a 🐢 in the comments if you're a fellow reptile lover!

🖤🐈‍⬛ Black Cat Facts & Myths: Let’s Talk About Our Spooky Season Sweethearts! 🎃

Black cats have been surrounded by myths and superstitions for centuries, but the truth is much less spooky! 👻

🖤 MYTH: Black cats bring bad luck.
✨ FACT: A black cat is just as capable of bringing love, cuddles, and purrs into your life as any other cat!

🖤 MYTH: Black cats are more aggressive.
✨ FACT: A cat’s personality is influenced by many factors, including genetics, socialization, environment, and individual experiences—not simply their coat color.

🖤 MYTH: Black cats are associated with Halloween and should be treated differently.
✨ FACT: Black cats are wonderful companions who deserve the same love, care, and protection year-round.

🎃 Halloween reminder: Keep your cats indoors during Halloween festivities. Costumes, decorations, unfamiliar visitors, and open doors can create extra stress and safety risks for curious kitties.

And remember: there’s nothing unlucky about a black cat—unless you count being unlucky enough to miss out on their cuddles! 🐾🖤

Do you have a black cat at home? Drop a 🖤 in the comments and tell us their name!
