The life of a shop animal is hard work!
Rocky is the resident cat at Original Saw Company. His main duties include laying on the motor bench, catching an occasional bird, ridding the property of mice and trying to intimidate any other animal that crosses his path.
London and Stella hold a part time position with the company and are usually found at the office 2-3 days per week. Their responsibilities include greeting freight truck drivers, napping in dark corners, gathering all the pets and love possible and avoiding Rocky the shop cat.
