Gladstone Animal Clinic

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the clinic’s loading dock—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he picked it up but found no return address or note inside. He opened it carefully, only to discover a tiny sleeping kitten curled up inside. The poor thing was so scared that its little paws were trembling. Without thinking, the delivery guy took the kitten home for the day, promising himself to drop it off later. That evening, as he walked back to the clinic, his neighbor asked, ‘Where did you get that adorable furball?’ Smiling sheepishly, he replied, ‘Oh, I found him at Gladstone Animal Clinic.’

2. One day, after hours, a young boy visiting his sick dog heard an unusual sound coming from inside Gladstone Animal Clinic. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw a receptionist calmly feeding what looked like a tiny pony to a very confused-looking cat. Suddenly, the phone rang, and the receptionist dropped her spoon mid-bite. She quickly cleaned up the mess, apologized to both animals, and answered the call with a flustered ‘Hello?’ Turns out it was just a delivery driver asking for directions.

3. One night, while walking home from work, a delivery driver wondered aloud: ‘I bet that clinic is staffed by aliens.’ The next morning, he found himself asking again—this time, why were there so many dogs with UFO-shaped bandages?’ Soon enough, word spread around town. A neighbor quipped, ‘Maybe they treat animals better than humans!’ Soon after, everyone started calling it the ‘UFO Vet Clinic’ and joked about alien healing rays. The delivery driver finally confessed his theory was nonsense—and then realized he’d been delivering packages there for months without noticing anything strange.

4. While delivering supplies one afternoon, a tired delivery driver muttered under his breath, 'Why does it always rain when I’m here?' Little did he know that his words would soon come back to him in the most unexpected way. Just then, a wet and muddy dog ran out from behind the clinic, its collar flashing with an old-fashioned tag reading ‘Gladstone’s Pup.’ The delivery driver froze, realizing too late that he’d just delivered supplies to none other than himself—a regular customer of Gladstone Animal Clinic.
