PHAB Pets
Meet our furry lab partners! These PHAB-ulous pets help keep the lab running smoothly by providing endless joy to the research team.
Earl Grey
Pet Parent: Maddy
My name is Earl Gray (like the tea) and we don't know what breed I am, but I sure am cute! My favorite activities include eating, sleeping, and cuddling with my Mom (Maddy). You can always find me helping my Mom work by laying on her keyboard or in her lap. My dislikes are dogs and the vacuum cleaner.
Thai and Fudge
Pet Parent: Caroline
Our names are Thai (cat) and Fudge (dog). We are best friends, even though sometimes we are prone to tussle. Thai thinks he's a dog anyways so it works out well! We both are actors and have been type-casted as animals who pretend they're hungry when they're not...or so our mom says. You can find us hanging out in the backyard, taking in the Texas-size sun rays while we relax. The other 80% of the time, we're either napping like in this picture or chasing each other around the house.
James
Pet Parent: Katie
James is a charming orange Persian cat with a knack for making his presence known. His day is filled with enthusiastic meowing at the door, signaling his desire for outdoor adventures. When he’s not trying to escape into the great outdoors, James can be found lounging on laptops, expertly interrupting work with his cozy presence. His playful antics and affectionate nature make him a beloved companion and a master of capturing attention.
Jack
Pet Parent: Katie
Jack is a sleek black cat with a knack for dramatic hunger cues and a penchant for lounging belly-up. His favorite pastime involves pretending to be starving while comfortably sprawled out, signaling his trust and desire for attention. When he’s in full relaxation mode, his exposed belly is an open invitation for a little extra care. Jack’s blend of laid-back charm and playful antics makes him the perfect middle child of the Shircliff family.
Oliver
Pet Parent: Katie
Oliver, the youngest and most energetic member of the Shircliff family, is a black cat who exudes chaos. He’s not only full of mischief but also incredibly vocal, often screaming for treats with an impressive volume. Despite his boundless curiosity and playful antics, he loves to unwind by lounging in his mom’s bed, where he enjoys the cozy comfort and security. His lively behavior and dramatic demands for treats make him a charming and entertaining companion.
