While they might be easily mistaken for rocks or plants, coral reefs are actually colonies of animals. These small but mighty creatures constitute one of Earth's oldest and most important ecosystems. But climate change threatens every one of coral's 800-plus species, all of which reproduce very infrequently. To fight back, Mary Hagedorn created the ocean's first fertility clinic—a global effort equipped with cryopreservation technology and a determined team of scientists. Story Via: Great Big Story

Aleksei Krotov, a vet in Rostov-on-Don, has always dreamed of having a raccoon. When he opened his clinic, he and his wife adopted Yasha, who was found in a very bad condition. After living at their home for a while, he brought her to the clinic. The doctor quickly noticed that Yasha had a real talent for reassuring stressed and sick dogs that came to the clinic to receive treatment. On the other hand, the cats didn't seem to be the biggest fans. The raccoon quickly earned herself a reputation, and now, people come to the clinic just to cuddle and pose with her. She's truly become a local celebrity. For more, follow her page on instagram.
Most cats don't love going to the vet, and some cats downright hate it. While the car ride there might seem somewhat exciting, the moment your cat catches whiff of that sterile vet office smell it's all downhill from there.

Meet Radamenes, an adorable little cat from Poland who offers a helping paw to make other animals get back in a healthy shape in this vet clinic.
It all started when Back in 2011, Tisoy, a ginger and white cat was found wandering the streets and the Mount Pleasant Veterinary Group vet's office in Singapore took him in as a permanent resident. At first, he slept on soft blankets and towels, but he had a habit of kicking them into his litter box. So, he was given a cardboard box to sleep in to solve the problem. He absolutely loved it. That's when two of the vet techs, Dorothy Tsang and Gillian Koh, decided to kick things up a notch. They began to create innovative and elaborate cardboard houses for Tisoy to sleep in! Check them out. They're as cool as the cat they create them for. Via: The Catington Post
