Squidward & Chicken Nugget 🐱✨

Please welcome two of the newest members of the VESH family: Squidward & Chicken Nugget 💙

These special boys joined us in January this year, after being adopted from MSPCA-Angell. We specifically hoped to find kittens with special needs, and the moment we met Chicken Nugget and Squidward, we were in love.

Chicken Nugget is blind after suffering a severe eye infection early in life — but you would never know it by the way he explores the world with confidence and curiosity. While we were meeting him, staff introduced us to another little kitten who needed a home too… and Squidward stole our hearts instantly.

Together, they have brought endless joy, laughter, and energy to the hospital. If you’re checking in, checking out, or simply walking outside the building, you may catch them “helping” the front desk staff with their daily duties. 🐾

They may be tiny, but their impact on our team has been enormous.

As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, the conversation doesn’t end here.

Supporting mental well-being in veterinary medicine is an ongoing commitment—one that extends far beyond a single month. By continuing to prioritize rest, connection, and compassion, we strengthen both our teams and the care we provide.

At VESH, we also recognize that this message extends to all animal welfare professionals—those in shelters, rescue, rehabilitation, and beyond. The work you do matters deeply, and so does your well-being.

Thank you to every member of our team and the greater animal care community for the dedication, empathy, and resilience you bring each day.

Bindi & Hazel 🐾

Meet two of VESH’s most dedicated team members: Bindi & Hazel 💙

Adopted together from Thomas J. O'Connor Animal Control and Adoption Center in 2022, this bonded pair quickly became an essential part of the VESH family. We knew we were looking for companions who could bring comfort and connection to our staff — and they have exceeded every expectation.

Both cats proudly serve as our official Emotional Support Cats, offering calm companionship during long shifts and difficult days. Bindi, especially, takes his responsibilities very seriously and is known for giving full hugs to staff members who need them most.

From staff meetings to interviews, these two are always eager to participate (or supervise). Their presence reminds us daily how much comfort animals can bring — not just to patients and clients, but to veterinary teams too.

Thank you for your kind words and trust in our team! 💙 We’re so glad you felt informed, supported, and cared for during your visit. Providing compassionate care for you and your furry companion(s) is always our goal. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are always here whenever you need us! 🐾

Memorial Day weekend can bring extra risks for pets, from cookout foods to outdoor hazards and holiday travel.

A little extra awareness can go a long way toward keeping your pet safe and out of the ER.
