BluePearl Veterinary Partners

I am a 22 year old recent college graduate. My precious baby boy, Tuffy who is my adored cat of 17 years left my arms on 10/6/14. He has been with me since the age of 5. Through my struggles and my triumphs this angel has remained my most precious family pride and joy. To say I loved him is an understatement. I had to make a decision for him since he would have held on all night for me, not even himself. Originally our primary vet (All PETS Animal Hospital) in Columbia Heights, Mn was where my mother called. Unfortunately, they were unbelievably insensitive and rude as they were closing when we called. They referred us to this location in Blaine. Thank The Lord for that. From the moment we entered AEVS, my angel was wrapped in a towel in a state very much like a coma with little movement. They immediately took us to a private and very comfortable room with dim-lighting. Being that I was nearly hyperventilating I was crying so much, it was nice to get the privacy that they so kindly provided me with. The Vet tech explained what is going to happen. They gave me all the time in the world with my baby. They provided a doorbell for when I was ready. They took paw prints for me so I can get my baby's paws tattooed. The Doctor was amazing, Dr. Heather Yuill. She re-explained what may or may not happen (in case the vet-tech forgot anything) she kissed my kitty, as did all of the staff. When the doctor injected the anestesia, as I was balling-she had genuine tears in her eyes. She grabbed my hand as his heartbeat went faint and said "Tuffy is now gone." Please go here for any emergency service. It would be a mistake to go anywhere else. In the hardest moment of my life, they were gentle the whole way through even after his passing. Thank you.
