A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Washington Heights Veterinary Clinic, he swore he heard a faint whimpering coming from inside the empty building. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—until he sniffed the air and caught a strange scent of freshly baked cookies. As he followed the sweet aroma deeper into the clinic, he stumbled upon an old lady in a fluffy pink apron, busily baking chocolate chip cookies for her furry patients. ‘Oh hello!’ she chirped. ‘Just making some special treats for our little friends.’ The delivery driver laughed, shaking his head. ‘Next time,’ she winked, ‘knock before you bake!’
2. Early mornings were always quiet around Washington Heights Veterinary Clinic, but on that particular day, something odd caught the attention of a passing delivery driver. As he drove past, he distinctly heard a series of low growls coming from inside the clinic's closed doors. Curious, the driver slowed down and peered through the window. Inside, in one of the examination rooms, a sleepy tabby cat was gently growling while stretching its paws, clearly not pleased with being woken up so early. The delivery man chuckled and muttered, ‘Must be having a bad hair day,’ before driving off, leaving behind only a slightly confused vet and an amused neighbor.
3. Late one night, while delivering supplies to Washington Heights Veterinary Clinic, a delivery driver heard an eerie howling coming from inside the clinic's empty corridors. Curious, he followed the sound and found himself face-to-face with a sleepy-looking cat who yawned and stretched, then walked nonchalantly back into an exam room. Startled, the driver laughed it off, thinking maybe the animal had just been playing hide-and-seek. As he left, a neighbor waved cheerfully and said, ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Whiskers—he loves pranks.’
4. One day, after hours, an old cat wandered into Washington Heights Veterinary Clinic. The receptionist, startled, watched as it walked right up to the counter and began inspecting the medicine bottles with its nose. Suddenly, a delivery driver entered the clinic, startled by the commotion. He asked what was going on, and when he saw the cat sniffing the bottles, everyone burst out laughing. Turns out, the old feline was just curious about the smells—and maybe even trying to find his own prescription.
