Alf, a cross-eyed kitten, was found abandoned on the doorstep of Ryde Veterinary Clinic with his two siblings when he was just two weeks old. The staff quickly took the trio in, but sadly, only Alf survived. One of the nurses devoted herself to caring for the little furball, feeding him formula around the clock until he was strong and healthy. Despite his rough beginning, Alf blossomed into a playful and lovable cat, charming everyone with his unique look—his adorable crossed eyes.

From Patient to Employee

Though the clinic staff tried to find Alf a forever home, no one came forward to adopt him. But fate had other plans. The clinic had already fallen in love with him, and they decided that Alf belonged with them. He became part of their team, taking his new role very seriously. Every morning, Alf greets patients at the front desk, making sure all the furry visitors and their humans check in smoothly. He has become a friendly face that clients and pets alike look forward to seeing.

Alf isn’t just a greeter—he’s also a supervisor at the clinic. Often, you’ll find him overseeing the lab, making sure everything runs smoothly. He even wears his own tiny scrub hat, adding an extra touch of charm to his workday. Whether he’s supervising the clinic or keeping the staff company, Alf’s one-of-a-kind personality brightens everyone’s day. He’s more than just a cat; he’s a valued member of the clinic’s team.

The Heart of the Clinic

Alf brings more than professionalism to the clinic—he’s also the life of the party! From staff celebrations to patient milestones, Alf is always there, spreading joy with his playful spirit. He never misses a chance to support his colleagues, even congratulating them on life events like the birth of a new baby. While Alf takes his job seriously, he knows how to have fun too, making him the heart of the clinic.

Who needs a traditional forever home when you have an entire clinic that loves you? Alf proves that sometimes, the best family is the one you find along the way.
