Boomerang
Boomerang, or "Boomer" is a CherryVale Animal Clinic resident. Boomer was abandoned as a six-week-old kitten at the clinic in 2004. Boomer tried to find a home with a couple of our clients, but was too naughty and was brought back to the clinic. That is how he got his name since we kept "tossing" him out and he kept coming back. You will usually find him sleeping in one of the cupboards that he climbed into, or pushing his way into the exam rooms to visit with our clients.
