About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something unusual on the hospital’s loading dock—a large box wrapped in brown paper with no label or return address. Curious but cautious, he left it untouched and reported it to the receptionist. The receptionist shrugged and called out to a nearby vet tech, who took one look at the mysterious package and said, ‘Oh, that’s probably just Dr. Smith’s new desk organizer.’ They opened it up to find… a small hamster wearing a little lab coat and holding a stethoscope. Turns out, Dr. Smith had adopted the critter from a local shelter earlier that week. Everyone laughed, and the hamster became an instant star of the clinic.
2. Late one night, an exhausted vet tech stumbled into the staff kitchen for coffee. On the microwave screen blinked a message: ‘YOUR CAT IS HEALED.’ She rubbed her eyes and looked again—sure enough, the message was there. Curious, she walked over to the counter where a sleepy delivery driver dozed off. ‘Hey,’ she whispered, pointing at the microwave. The driver yawned, stretched, and said, “Oh that? That’s just my cat. He always does that when I’m late.”
3. Late one night, as the last vet tech locked up the University Veterinary Hospital, she heard an odd voice over the intercom: ‘Please return your lost pet… it’s been waiting here since 1987.’ Curious, she followed the sound and found a tiny hamster wheel in the corner, its little wheels still turning. A note attached read: 'To whoever finds me—please take good care of Fluffy.' The vet tech laughed, thinking it was someone's practical joke. But when she switched off the lights, she saw a shadowy figure—a small, furry creature with big round eyes watching her from behind the counter.
4. Late one night, as the last vet tech locked up the University Veterinary Hospital, she heard a strange humming coming from the empty waiting room. Curious, she peered inside and saw an old clock on the wall slowly chiming midnight. Suddenly, a tiny voice whispered, ‘Finally, I can go home!’ Turning around, she found herself face-to-face with a sleepy-looking hamster in a cage. The vet tech laughed, realizing it was just another late-night visitor—probably a neighbor’s escapee.
