Paws & Claws

Hi Dr. Janeway,
I recently started feeding a stray cat that has
been coming around my property, I have named
it Maple and I guess I am going to keep it. I
would like to bring it in for shots and to see if it
needs to be spayed or neutered. Can you please
give me an idea of what he will need and what I
can expect at the appointment?
Thanks,
Reluctant cat owner

Hi Reluctant,
Thank you for giving this stray cat a home and
for reaching out to me. There are a few things
that we will likely accomplish at your first ap-
pointment.
First, we will need to perform a complete phys-
ical exam – listen to the heart, lungs, evaluate the
teeth and determine if it is male or female. We
will be able to give you a ball park of how old the
cat is and we will check it for a microchip in case
it is a cat that has been lost by its owners. SHUTTERSTOCK

NOTICE of PETITION to ADMINISTER ESTATE of

Donald J. Nader, aka

Donald Jacob Nader and Donald Nader
CASE NUMBER:
P19-16454

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of
Donald J. Nader, aka Donald Jacob Nader and Donald Nader
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Mary Lou Xenos in the
Superior Court of California, County of Nevada.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Mary Lou Xenos be appointed
as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to
probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept
by the court.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independ-
ent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal repre-
sentative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking
certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be re-
quired to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or
consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority
will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and
shows good cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be held on March 1, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. Dept.
