Meet Pearl - Feline Friend and Survivor.
ur Siamese cat, Pearl, is a cancer survivor. She has been coming to Northwest Veterinary Specialists
for over 2 years, and although now in remission, she continues to see her oncologist at NWVS
every month. Pearl was 13 when we got the cancer diagnosis. Having never been sick a day in
her life, we were stunned when we got the news. We had just lost our dog to the same disease a year prior,
so we were bracing ourselves for the worst and fearful that her time with us would be short. Her weekly
chemo treatments went well and we were thrilled each time we could extend the weeks between visits.
We celebrated with balloons and flowers every month, and it was a huge milestone when we reached
one year and then two. We owe her longevity to the quality care she has received from NWVS.
