Stanley
Staff Supervisor/Client Welcomer/Head Food Inspector
Stanley was brought to us 13 years ago on a cold blustering winter afternoon. He was a young fella found near a dumpster, just looking for some scraps and a nice warm place to settle down. Growing up was a bit rough for him, but with the help of his food inspection skills he put on a couple of pounds in no time. Today, he lives a comfortable lifestyle of napping, eating treats, greeting clients and keeping the mice away. He loves to start the day with a fast sprint down the hallway, welcoming everyone as they come in to work for the day and then recovering with a morning nap in his cat bed. He enjoys teasing dogs when they come in, loving on kittens that visit us and begging for catnip. When Stanley is not busy with his daily schedule, he likes to play catch, ignore clients when they call after him and enjoy some food samples that are at his disposal. His favorite foods include, chicken nuggets, chicken, turkey and ham.
