Maple’s Story
On a freezing cold day in March 2018, two kind souls found a nearly frozen cat lying in a nearby parking lot and brought her to our clinic for help. This poor older cat was emaciated and full of fleas. While contemplating doing a humane euthanasia, Betty offered her some treats and she gobbled them up!
Our team decided to warm her up and treat her for fleas, and upon further examination we found clear signs of mistreatment and arthritis. We treated her allergies and pain, and even ended up performing surgery to remove pellets buried in her knee. We all wanted to give this sweet girl a fighting chance at a good life, and considering all that she’d been through and her fear of the noises outside, Maple quickly found her new home – as our clinic cat.
For the next 4 ½ wonderful years, our beautiful Maple was spoiled and loved like she’d never known. Maple enjoyed her new life with a full belly, lots of treats and human kindness. She loved having a heated bed for her arthritic bones and spent her days tucked in behind our reception desk. Maple loved to be held and would often “scream” (in her scratchy wee voice) for more pats and attention.
Sadly, on August 23, 2022, we knew the time had come to say goodbye. Surrounded by the love of her NVS family, Maple crossed over the rainbow bridge.
Thank you, Maple for brightening our lives – you’re forever in our hearts.
