peaches

Peaches is a very, VERY fluffy Turkish Van who loves watching animal documentaries. She is a fantastic research assistant, and very helpfully sits on Marie's laptop when she is writing reports or research proposals.

Peaches unfortunately won't be at the clinic as (like most cats & Auties) she feels stressed in unfamiliar places.
