Large Animal & Bird Enrollment Moratorium
Due to our current limited space for large animals and birds, the staff recommended, and the advisory board approved, a temporary moratorium on large animal and bird enrollments effective Feb. 1, 2018. We’re working with the college and the university to develop new and larger facilities, which will allow us to re-open large animal and bird enrollment.

Cody Mouse Rings the Oncology Bell to Celebrate the End of Radiation Treatment
The Stevenson Center’s dear Cody Mouse rang the bell, with Janet’s help, after completing a round of 20 radiation treatments to battle the meningioma that was discovered in his brain.
We’re so grateful for the thoughtful and skilled doctors, technicians, and support staff in the Oncology Service at the Texas A&M Small Animal Teaching Hospital (SATH). They were wonderful through this month-long ordeal for Cody Mouse and our entire staff.

Farewell to our beloved Reveille VIII
We’re overcome with grief at the loss of Miss Rev in June 2018 due to cancer. It was the center’s privilege and honor to care for Reveille in her three years of retirement after serving for seven years as the Texas A&M University mascot. She was as regal in retirement as she was during her service to the university. Our hearts are broken as we carry on our days without her. Miss Rev was a wonderful girl with a beautiful soul and we will always feel her absence. Rest in peace, dear friend.
