Pets of St. Vincent – Duchess

It’s time for this week’s Pet of St. Vincent, and this time it’s Duchess, belonging to Lara Sanders, APRN, who works at the CHI St. Vincent East Community Clinic!

Duchess is a 1-year-old Chocolate-point Ragdoll cat, and what a beauty she is. Lara says Duchess is very smart, curious, and loving. Her favorite activity is playing with Blue, Lara’s pet dog. Duchess also enjoys playing with her toys and going on walks. While she very much dislikes baths, Duchess loves being brushed. And at the end of the day, Duchess is all about settling down for some cuddles and watching movies. Lara says just petting her soft fur and hearing her purr makes a bad day so much better.

Duchess is just a wonderful cat! Thank you, Lara, for sharing her with us! Don’t forget, we want to feature your pet as a Pet of St. Vincent. To submit your pet for our weekly feature, click this link and fill out the form.

And if you’d like to submit your pet to be featured in the 2026 Pets of St. Vincent calendar, sign up at this link! Please note, if your pet is selected, we will have a member of our Marketing team meet you and your pet in person for a photo session for your pet. The photos will likely take 30-60 minutes on an off-work day, and may need to be done inside your home. Please do not submit your pet if you aren’t comfortable with meeting in person or if your schedule can’t make that work.
