It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved clinic cat, Artemis. He touched so many lives over the years, our little AMC community will miss him terribly.
*Artemis first came to AMC 18 years ago. He was found as a wee kitten in the back fenced area behind our clinic. It's unknown if his mother or owner left him there, alone. Dr Rowan raised him and gave him a home at the clinic with his new best friend, Sam. Over the years, Arti has seen employees and clients come and go and each time has left a little pawprint in all our hearts. His favorite pastimes were lounging on the front counter, sleeping in cupboards, drinking out of the toilet, licking peoples' foreheads and stealing food from patients, alot of times in that order. He was there if you needed kitty cuddles, emotional support, or comic relief. Although he didn't care for small children or kittens, they loved him anyways. He was the first patient of ours to try Solencia for arthritis and it gave him so much life towards the end, giving him the ability to climb shelves he hadn't climbed in years. He greeted staff and clients with the same demanding crunchy meows for treats or cuddles and wanting to be packed around like a toddler.
He was a kind, loving, sweet old man and we will miss him so much. He was the best clinic cat we could ever have asked for.
We love you, Arti ❤️
