Hi, my name is Jester and I spend my days at Madison Park Veterinary Clinic. I have a tuxedo so I am ready for all occasions. My hobbies include holding down files and stacks of paper. I enjoy naps in the sun, welcoming new patients and lounging in my kitty cabana. I am extremely enviromentally aware and take recycling very seriously ;) I came to Madison Park Veterinary Hospital from Vashon Island Pet Protectors, a local rescue group. They have many fine kittens as well as full grown cats that are available for adoption. You can check them out at http://www.vipp.org/
