BB MP PETS www.MtPleasant.Pet | www.MPVets.Pet | www.facebook.com/MPpets F E A T U R E This is a story about something that happens every day but seldom makes the headlines. It is a story of how two different animals without homes were taken in by Low- country animal lovers and given the opportunity to live out their days with love, comfort and care. One of these animals is Neville the cat, who began his life half a world away in Okinawa, Japan. A former stray, Neville seemed doomed to a brief and sickly life, until an animal lover took him in and had him examined by a veterinarian. Neville was diagnosed with FIV+, or feline immuno- deficiency virus. The veterinarian concluded that his only chance for a long pain-free life was to be treated in the United States. As things happen in stories with happy endings, the scrawny tomcat’s rescuer in Japan was already acquainted with a potential American foster mom: Mary Beth Dew, who lives in the Ivy Hall subdivision of Mount Pleasant.
