STEVIE THE FAITHFUL TeamMember Spotlight

Ever since Peekaboo had his time in the spotlight, Stevie has been feeling a little left out. So this month, Dr. Susie (Stevie’s favorite human) sat down with him and asked him to share his story and some of his favorite things. Here’s what Stevie had to say.

whole world. Well, I also feel pretty affectionate toward Winnie, Dr. Susie’s oldest kid. They are the best humans. Most days, you’ll find me riding in the vet truck with Dr. Susie. They’ve promoted me to the official Feline Farm Call Co-Captain (nice title, right?). This means I get to go on farm calls with Dr. Susie, and I love being her co-captain and getting to ride in the truck! I also enjoy playing in the water bowl, sitting on Dr. Susie’s or Winnie’s shoulders when they’re sitting down in the office (check out the picture of me with Dr. Susie), and wrestling with Peekaboo. He’s my best friend. We like to play, and I chase him around a lot. I also like to tease

Hello, my name is Stevie, and I call Surface Creek Vet Center my home. It was about .03 cat years ago (since we have nine lives, time moves differently for us) when I first came here. I was just a little kitten at that time, and I wasn’t feeling so great. A nice human found me at the slaughterhouse’s dumpster and brought me to the animal shelter in Delta. I wasn’t even awake when they brought me into Surface Creek, and when I did wake up, I couldn’t see. But Dr. Susie helped me get better, and after a while, I could see again. Mostly I’m all better now, except sometimes when I get scared, I spin in circles really fast to try and shut out the scary things.

Louise, the other hospital cat, but she’s old and cranky and not much fun.

I’m sure I’ll see you around the clinic. This is the best place to be when you’re not feeling well (or when you just need a nice human’s shoulders to sit on).

I’m a faithful cat, and I love, love, love Dr. Susie for saving me. There is no one better in the

INGREDIENTS

Sonja Marstad

• •

2 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats

• •

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

Coleen Scheele

2 eggs

1/4 cup dried blueberries

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat oven to 350 F. 2. Place oats in a food processor and pulse for 15–30 seconds until oats are ground to flour. 3. In a medium bowl, whisk together oat flour, eggs, applesauce, and blueberries. If dough is too crumbly, add 2 tbsp water and mix. If dough is still too crumbly, add more water 1 tbsp at a time until dough can be formed into a ball. 4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop, form dough into small balls (about 1 1/2 inches in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet. Spray the flat side of a spatula with nonstick cooking spray and gently flatten the dough balls into discs. 5. Bake biscuits for 15 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Let treats cool completely on a wire rack before serving to your favorite pup.
