Today’s Cat of the Day is Kippens, submitted by Erin Oliver of Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center. “While she has a very busy schedule of mostly sleeping, Kippens is always ready to lend an ear. I call this pic, ‘Conversations with Kitty.’
Today’s Dog of the Day is Luna, Sophie Forman of the Vanderbilt Center for Clinical and Translational Research (VICTR). “Luna was rescued seven years ago as a baby in a parking lot during Hurricane Harvey. She is a Jack Russell/dachshund, and lives a very spoiled life. She loves sitting in the sun, sleeping, watching her mom’s puzzle, and stopping to smell the flowers. She fits into a size 3-6M onesie and doesn’t complain when we dress her up.”
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.
Kippens and Luna were featured in the April 8, 2025, edition of MyVUMC News.
