About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic and asked the receptionist, ‘Why do you always leave that window open?’ She shrugged and replied, ‘Oh, it’s just an old vet’s superstition.’ The next day, an elderly neighbor stopped by and said, 'I heard your vet keeps that window open for good luck.' The receptionist smiled and answered, 'Actually, he thinks it helps the animals relax.' They both laughed, and from then on, everyone in town knew the quirky superstitions of Jamaica Plain Animal Clinic.
2. One morning, a concerned neighbor called the clinic’s emergency line, reporting strange howls coming from the back room. The vet on duty calmly replied over the intercom, ‘It’s just our new robotic receptionist testing its bark recognition software.’ Soon enough, another voice crackled through: 'And it seems he’s also working on growl identification!' The vet laughed softly into his microphone. Later that day, when a delivery driver came in complaining about an aggressive dog, everyone just smiled and said, 'Oh, that must be him again.'
3. One foggy afternoon, a local jogger stopped in his tracks when he heard an unusual sound: a soft, almost musical purring coming from inside the clinic's garden. Curious, he approached the fence and saw through the gap a big tabby cat sitting on a bench, gently grooming itself while humming softly. The vet, who happened to be outside watering plants, smiled and said, 'Oh, that's just Ol' Whiskers. He loves to sing when he's happy.' The jogger laughed and asked if he could adopt him. 'Sorry,' replied the vet with a twinkle in her eye, 'he’s retired and only sees patients on Wednesdays now.'
4. One chilly autumn morning, as the sun struggled to peek above Boston’s skyline, a delivery driver arrived at Jamaica Plain Animal Clinic with a puzzled expression on his face. Upon opening the crate, he found an adorable little kitten with a note that read: 'Found wandering near South Station. Please take good care of him!' The delivery driver smiled, picked up the tiny furball, and said to no one in particular, 'Guess I’m adopting another furry friend today.'
