Meet Slurpy 🤍

Slurpy is 13 years old and was adopted by his family 3 years ago after being rescued from poor living conditions. When he was found, he had lacerations on his legs, a severe eye infection, matted fur, and rotted teeth that needed to be removed. Despite everything he went through, he became one of the sweetest, most loving cats you could ever meet.

Recently, Slurpy developed sneezing, severe congestion, increased respiratory effort, and loss of appetite. A nasal endoscopy and biopsy confirmed nasal adenocarcinoma, and an esophagostomy tube was placed to help maintain his nutrition during treatment.

Slurpy came to AERA for a CT with radiation therapy setup, where custom positioning molds were made specifically for him. Dr. Chang and his dedicated team carefully contoured the cancerous areas to create a precise treatment plan using intensity-modulated radiation therapy. Slurpy will undergo 18 radiation treatments with imaging performed each session to ensure accurate positioning and monitor changes.

Even through all of this, Slurpy still comes in every day offering head nudges to everyone he meets. He loves people, other animals, and even helps foster cats come out of their shells alongside his biological daughter, Nena. 🐾

Referral Relationship Manager Kathy, recently attended the Third Annual Senior Day event at Bergen Community College. It was a great opportunity to connect with the 35 graduating veterinary technology students, meet rising first-year students, and engage with the dedicated faculty shaping the future of veterinary medicine. Congratulations to this year’s graduates—we can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll accomplish! 🐾

Animal Emergency and Referral Associates' fourth annual Spring CE Symposium was a success!

Veterinarians and staff from our referral community learned about canine dry eye and blindness, rodenticide poisoning, wound management, and anesthesia circuits. The program was interactive and fun, with practitioners having the opportunity to connect with members of our staff as well as other local colleagues.

Don't miss our next CE event, planned for June!
