April Pet of the Month

This month's VPNA Pet(s) of the Month are Catniss and Roux! They will be receiving a generous gift basket custom curated just for them from our neighbor Dr. Benjamin Wright & his team at Lakewood Vet Center.

When the Collinses moved into their house on Bonita, the previous owners informed them that it also came with the responsibility of feeding a young feral cat whose family had been captured by animal control. They named her Catniss, but didn’t have much luck in gaining her trust. However, one day she marched in through an open back door and deposited her newly born kitten in their closet. (Yes, she only had one kitten and yes, they didn’t realize she was pregnant!) The kitten was named Roux and both mom and baby became their indoor/outdoor pets. Catniss and Roux both moved to Vickery Blvd. with the Collinses in 2020. You may still see Catniss roaming the streets, but good luck petting her. True to her name, she is still quite the escape artist. Roux on the other hand, can usually be found napping indoors.
