“From the time Zuzu was a puppy and having a very dim prognosis with tricuspid valve dysplasia, the cardiology vets in Towson have provided incredible, loving professional care, with much optimism along the way. Now my girl will be turning 6 years old in a few weeks, and I couldn't ask for more."

Playtime for Uncle Willie! 

October – Uncle Willie (Gaithersburg, MD)

Dr. Watson--Winning Photo

His favorite place!

November – Dr. Watson (Rockville, MD)

Whispers--Winning Photo

His full name is Whispers of Aloha Love! Here he is at 9 months!

December – Whispers (Richmond, VA)

 “Our Maine Coons have been coming to see Dr. Weidman for over 15 years to be proactive on any heart issues that may arise. They are checked yearly and staff have been very caring and compassionate. I would highly recommend (and do!) to people who need a cardiologist. We did not have any heart issues for Whispers but continued yearly visits and exams until he was 10. Sadly we lost him to cancer and we want to celebrate his life and love he gave to us. He had the most gentle loving soul of any cat we have.”
