Noah and Malachi are ragdoll cats from the same litter who have two totally different personalities. Oliver and Finnley are double doodles who are new to the household. They all live together with Carol Richardson, who works at the Killam Library, and her daughter Hilary (BSc Health Promotion 2021 graduate; MA Health Promotion Candidate starting September 2021).

We'd also like to take a moment to honour Dakota a very special little terripoo who recently passed away.

Dakota

Name: Dakota

Nickname(s): Coda, Coats

Species: Dog (Terripoo - West Highland White/Poodle).

Fave foods: JuJubes but he was open to anything.

Sadly, Dakota passed away on May 6th. He will be missed.

Noah

Name: Noah

Nickname(s): NoNo, Monkey

Fave foods: Treats — dehydrated anything.

Species: Ragdoll Cat (Blue Lynx Point).
