Broad Street Veterinary Hospital

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the hospital’s parking lot—a small wooden box with no label or markings. Curious, he picked it up and brought it inside. Before long, staff started finding similar boxes around the clinic, each containing strange items like old newspapers, forgotten toys, and even an antique watch. Finally, one day they found a box filled with old photos of cats doing funny things. Turns out, it was a prank from a local photographer who loved animals. Everyone had a good laugh, and now Broad Street Veterinary Hospital has an annual ‘Cat Pranks Day’ to celebrate their little mystery.

2. One morning, as the vet techs were preparing for their day, they heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our canine patient Mr. Whiskers has escaped from surgery and is now roaming the waiting room.’ As everyone scrambled to round up the mischievous pooch, a delivery driver arrived with a package. Upon opening it, they found nothing but a note reading: 'Mr. Whiskers is hiding behind you!' Turned out, the vet’s new intern had accidentally swapped him into a costume during lunch break. The whole hospital erupted in laughter when they finally caught the little rascal.

3. One night, while closing up shop, a vet tech overheard a strange conversation outside. 'Did you see that dog?' asked one neighbor. 'No,' replied another. 'But I sure did hear him talking!' Curious, the tech peeked out and saw nothing but an ordinary street. Suddenly, a delivery driver passing by chuckled and said, ‘Probably just a regular talking in his sleep.’ The vet tech shook her head with a smile, thinking maybe Broad Street had more secrets than she knew.

4. One afternoon, a concerned neighbor called the hospital, frantically asking if anyone had seen her cat. ‘He’s been missing since early this morning,’ she said, almost pleading. The receptionist calmly replied, ‘Ma’am, he probably just found another way home—like he always does.’ Later that evening, a delivery driver arrived with an unexpected guest—a tiny tabby, clearly exhausted but none the worse for wear. 'Found him snoozing under our van,' he grinned. The relieved neighbor burst into tears of joy, and everyone agreed it was just another day at Broad Street Vet.
