Opie, the official Scottsdale Ranch "clinic cat," passed away on July 21, 2009. Opie came to us as a "rescue cat" 16 years ago. He provided us with much humor, entertainment, and love through many years as our "clinic cat." He will be greatly missed by all of our staff and clients who got to know him over the years. His personality and tolerance for accepting interaction with so many people and other animals made him the perfect "clinic cat." Opie will always remain in our hearts!
