WHAT
WE DO
The story of Babichette...with Steri-Animal
At the
end of September 2003, we caught five 4-week-old kittens
sleeping in
a basket on a downtown balcony, including the 3 kittens seen
here.
  
Leia,
Jawa, Gaeriel, Chewbacca and Wookie all have names from
the Star Wars
series of which their foster home is a fan. Bottle-fed, they
are very sociable. They eat well and are little
round balls.
With
the help the of person who was feeding their stray mom
Babichette, (below),
we were able to have her sterilized also.

Babichette
had given birth for the second time on Eva's balcony.
Not knowing
anymore who would adopt these 5 kittens and kittens
to come, Eva decided to have Babichette sterilized.
Babichette was
used to go into the kitchen to get food, Eva just kept
her indoors until a volunteer arrived with a net.
Babichette
was caught and put in a carrier. Waiting for a surgery
in
a large crate, she made it clear with teeth and claws
that there was no way to transfer her back to a carrier
on surgery
day! So she went into the large crate to the vet where
the technician used all her skill to get her out
safely. Well-trained
technicians and vets are precious to the kind of clients
we are... After her spay, the former mommy cat was
returned to
the person who feeds her. Babichette is now hiding
in Eva's home as the lady is trying to socialize
her. She will continue
to take care of her. Adult semi-feral cats like her
are very hard to socialize.
