Animal Hospital Characters
Remember a face from a night shift but not where they fit? This roster covers Dr. Harlow, Barney, Officer Duckman, Ron, Ratthew's key quest, and the lobby cast — separate from playable Classes and desk patients.
By Bloxron Editorial Team · Last updated
For Barney's choice rewards or Ambulance timing, see Shift Events; for what Dr. Harlow stocks after a shift, see Progression. For desk rejects, use Anomalies. Ratthew's key and the Room 5 cat-poster safe are on his character card below and on Locations. Patients are generated cases, not fixed NPCs.

FAQ
Are characters playable Classes?
No. Classes like Intern, Doctor, or Nurse are jobs you buy and equip in the lobby Class Shop. Characters on this page are fixed NPCs with dialogue or shop roles.
Doctor class vs Dr. Harlow?
Doctor is a 900 Animal Coin class that restores Sanity when you heal patients. Dr. Harlow is the hospital doctor NPC who appears at shift results and during Ambulance warnings.
Nurse class vs Shopkeeper Nurse?
They share a similar model, but the Nurse class adds inventory slots for your player. Shopkeeper Nurse only runs the Supplies Shop during a shift.
Best Barney choice?
Hiding Barney (or letting the officer timer run out) rewards a second Coffee Machine for the run — strong for long Sanity marathons. Turning him in advances the police beat without that reward. Full outcomes live on the Shift Events page.
Is Ratthew an anomaly?
Not an anomaly. Ratthew is a story NPC with a key quest — reject visitors using appearance, photo, and CCTV tells on the Anomalies page, not Ratthew jokes.
How do I get Ratthew's Key?
Let Ratthew reach the window across multiple shifts without letting him die. After he mentions Rattina and says he must disappear, loot the note and Ratthew's Key from the reception counter before you leave the shift.
Where is the Room 5 safe?
Medical wing — far back on the right. Interact with the cat poster on Room 5's far wall to reveal the safe, then use Ratthew's Key. Full steps are on the Locations page under Room 5.
