Today’s Cats of the Day are Stanley and Stella, submitted by Amy Narusas of Social Work. “Stanley is an orange Persian and Stella is a bi-color seal point Himalayan.”
Today’s Dogs of the Day are Maggie and Eliza, submitted by Allison King of Anesthesiology at VWCH. “Maggie and Eliza are piebald miniature dachshunds, 4-year-old sisters. They enjoy walks in the neighborhood and letting every delivery driver know they are home.“
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.
Stanley, Stella, Maggie and Eliza were featured in the Dec. 4, 2025, edition of MyVUMC News.
