Eddie 11-999-C |
Eddie came to us as a young stray way back in 1995. Although we took this cat off the street, it was hard to take the street out of this cat and consequently he decided to remain an indoor/outdoor cat for most of his life. He had some very close calls over the years, and he undoubtedly used up many of his 9 lives. Luckily in his later years when his hearing and eyesight started to deteriorate, he wisely decided that it might be a better idea to stick closer to home! Eddie received excellent health and dental care at Henderson Animal Hospital throughout his entire life. The inevitable health problems that developed in his senior years (kidney disease and hyperthyroidism) were managed well for many, many years and he enjoyed a fantastic quality of life almost right up until the end on Jan 19, 2011. We are extremely grateful to have enjoyed so many great years with our Eddie. Jenny, Heather, Betty Ann and Richard Graydon

Phoebe 07-070-CA |
I am sad to say that Phoebe is no longer with us. Her age was wearing on her and she was not able to keep weight on or water/food in her anymore regardless of what we did. She was slowly shrinking and suffering, and her last few months were miserable for her. We decided to give her the best gift we could give her and have her humanely euthanized January 4, 2011. I was there to hold her paw and we will miss her dearly! We were very happy to be her forever home even though we only got to have her for a few short years. Thank you Nasap, for allowing us to bring this furry sweetheart in to our lives! Jani Painter

Heinz 10-113-D |
Heinz was with NASAP only a short time and passed away whilst in foster care. He was a darling of a dog, very elderly but keen to potter about on his frail old legs. He was diagnosed with acute kidney failure and euthanised on the advice of the veterinarian. It was a very sad day. We hadn't known him long but Heinz had made a big impression on us all - the last years of his life had been lonely and he had been sorely neglected but for a little while before his death he knew love, kindness and companionship. Rest in peace old boy.

Peach 10-111-D |
Peach was a little Apricot toy poodle who came to us from the Pound. She was not eating well and so we took her to the Vet who discovered she was full of cancer and infection. Little Peach was euthanised at the recommendation of the two Veterinarians present. Rest in peace little girl.

Lily 10-000-DA |
Lily was found as a stray apparently abandoned in Leduc when she was about 10 years old. When I went to meet her she adopted me by coming over and sitting on my foot immediately, which turned out to be very uncharacteristic behaviour for her. She was her own dog: not ingratiating or cuddly but dignified and serious, especially to the cat, as befitted her position as an elder and survivor. Half Corgi and half terrier, though, she did have a sense of humour and a huge joker grin. Someone had trained her well and she went everywhere with me. For the first few years Lily remained energetic, curious and up for long walks, never lost her scavenging street-dog skills, and did an excellent job as my office manager and lifestyle coach as I worked at home. This summer she was 14, could no longer walk much and suffered from dementia and other problems, and we had to let her go in August, four years after we met her. She was happy in her retirement home and I’m grateful to NASAP for giving me a chance to take in this lovely girl. I miss her more than I thought possible.
