Simard named the cat Aslan, after the lion in “The Chronicles of Narnia” series. After a few days of treatment at the clinic, Aslan’s health improved and he went to live in a foster home, where he quickly became friends with his new mom’s cats.
Every day, Aslan made sure his foster mom knew just how happy he was to be safe and warm.
“He’s a very affectionate cat,” Simard said. “He likes to sleep close to his foster mom.”
When it came time to find Aslan a forever home, his foster mom couldn’t bring herself to separate him from his new sister and fellow rescue cat, Cleo. “He would just sleep next to her, groom her and she would groom him,” Simard said. “It made sense to have them stay together — two rescue cats who had a tough life.”
A year later, Aslan has turned out to be the best valentine his family could’ve asked for.
