Meet Phinn, named after our friend and colleague that left us in the summer of 2019, Scott Phinney, who also had a deep affection for cats. Phinn was living at the Brandon Pound and we believe he was a street cat so we were happy to give him a job in our shop as Chief Mouser. He spends more time in the office sleeping on a chair, or at the front door than he does mousing, but we appreciate his lack of effort. The team has really taken to Phinn, not to mention some clients and vendors who make special trips to just to see him. He has had some adventures like when he got locked in the closet with his food for an entire night…oh the mess. Phinn has been a great addition to our team, getting into mild and manageable trouble mostly with mud and mice, or the odd skunk. We are grateful for Phinn.
