It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved clinic kitty, Spot. He fought a long and courageous battle with cancer over the last 4 ½ years. He passed away peacefully, surrounded by a multitude of people who loved him dearly.
Spot came to us as a young adult in October 2007 when we moved to our 2nd location on Hwy 49. He showed up as a stray on our doorstep one evening and enjoyed the food we put out. A couple of weeks later, he was tame, neutered, vaccinated, and we had officially installed him into his new “job” as our new clinic mascot, a position he has occupied for almost 18 years. Initially he was allowed time outside, but after a brush with one too many cars in the parking lot, we decided it was safer for him to reside 100% indoors. He adapted to this well, so long as he could find a sunny place in which to nap. He also served as a kitty superhero on numerous occasions during his younger years, saving many feline lives by being a blood donor.
Ever the charmer, Spot had the uncanny ability to know when to show up in the waiting room or an exam room to help a client with their grief after the loss of a beloved four-legged family member. He was known to many far and wide and received holiday gifts of his own on numerous occasions. Our Christmas tree has a decidedly “Spot” theme, as his Auntie Robin made sure he had his very own Hallmark ornament every year. His Auntie Wendy has been his own personal photographer throughout the years and has captured his varying moods on camera, many of which are displayed as artwork on the walls of EVETS.
Spot was lovingly cared for over the years by his many Aunties, all of whom have loved him as their own and faithfully administered his medications as he progressed in age and illness. All this love and dedication contributed tremendously to his very long and full life.
We will all miss his silly antics: dashing through the treatment area at top speed; yowling randomly at all hours of the night; waking from a sound sleep at the sound of a can opening; claiming a chair, the desktop, a pile of papers you were working on for his own; sharing a sip of chocolate milk with his Auntie Wendy; and accompanying everyone to the employee restroom.
Spot was very special kitty who has forever claimed a piece of our hearts. He was truly one of a kind. EVETS just won’t be the same without him.
