Public Relations Director

Bud joined the staff over five years ago. One of Bud's hobbies is feline uber-acrobatics for which he has become legend here at Centerville Road. He came to us with a broken leg, which after surgery and several months of non-stop petting he fully recovered and can be seen racing about the lobby and literally bouncing off of the walls from time to time.

He also enjoys tanning and can be found in the yoga position 'sunning belly' most afternoons weather permitting. As part of his duties he lays about, greets cats in carriers, and balefully stares at dogs. Oh, he also gives transfusions for very sick kitties when needed. He was recently promoted to director after months of hard napping.
