Today’s Cat of the Day is Rocco, submitted by Catherine Rupard of the Stem Cell Processing Lab. “Rocco is a rescue from the neighborhood. He was the cat mafia godfather until he was neutered. Now he is a sweet brother to our family dogs. He awaits my arrival from work lounging in the carport each evening.”
Today’s Dog of the Day is Paris, submitted by Teresa Redden of Medicine – Williamson County. “Paris loves to nap!”
Pets of the Day — what you need to know
The Vanderbilt University Medical Center Pets of the Day are included in regular editions of the MyVUMC News newsletter, which is posted twice a week by VUMC News and Communications.
The pets are selected from the hundreds of entries sent to the VUMC Voice Pet Photo Contest.
For those who submitted a photo to that contest, watch MyVUMC News for Pets of the Day, and in addition, regular collections of pet photos are posted to the VUMC Voice site. You can see them all here: https://news.vumc.org/section/voice/pets-vumc/.
If you have a pet you would like to nominate for Pet of the Day, the next Pet Photo Contest submission period is coming up later this year, and will be announced in MyVUMC News.
Rocco and Paris were featured in the Feb. 11, 2025, edition of MyVUMC News.
