Neko (pronounced Nay-Co, which is Japanese for cat) who belongs to the Close family, is only 1 year old, but has already had quite a life!

As a kitten, Neko was homeless and living outside an apartment near the University of Hawaii.  It was the Close's son, Aaron, who heard Neko's desperate meows and found the tiny kitten hungry and alone.  Neko immediately wrapped his legs around his new friend and wouldn't let go.  Soon after, Aaron convinced his parents here in MN to adopt the kitten.  Brave little Neko traveled alone, in cargo, the entire trip to his new home! 

A whole year later, Neko has settled in and now spends his days playing with the family's dogs, and looking forward to visits from Aaron when he comes home from Hawaii.   Although many would say that Neko is a lucky cat, Aaron and his parents feel they are the lucky ones, to have found such a sweet kitty to join their family.

Jessica has been a Certified Veterinary Technician here at Carver Lake for nearly 10 years!  Over the years we have had the privilege of watching her grow from a brand new CVT to the respected leader she is today.

Jessica is looked at as a role model by the newer CVTs at our clinic, and strives to help our team work well together in order to provide top notch care for our patients.  She is excellent in her technical skills, and wonderful with our clients and their pets.

We are so lucky to have Jessica at Carver Lake, and have enjoyed watching her develop into the amazing technician she is today.
