Male Tuxedo Cat's Neuter

He's Ginger Cat's boyfriend by the way. Mom says he's not a friendly cat at all unlike the rest & gotta be very cautious while touching him.

They took a whole hour to catch him & it was a huge struggle comin' from him that he got tired & finally half-surrendered. He's very smart because Dad caught him once before by luring him into the crate with food but later gotta release him when they spotted a pregnant cat that needed the surgery slot more urgently than he did. Hence, the 2nd capture was of cuz not gonna be an easy feat at all.

from previous post... tryin to ''rape'' her right after her surgery then

Pregnant Cat (from 2nd group)

Another pregnant kitty found... totally by chance on 29012012. Mom & Dad had already caught the black&white male & were all ready to go off till Dad spotted another group (actually a pair of sisters) at the other end of the carpark. Most probably related to the previous group because of the colors & markings. One of them was super friendly & pregnant as well, so the obvious choice was to release the black&white male & get this pregnant one to be spayed (& abort her kits) the very next day.

Sister Cat's Spay (and her 3 stillborns)

Sister cat was scheduled to have her abortion + spay on 18012012 and Mom brought her back on 08012012 since she was afraid that she can't find her before the appointment date.

Sadly... Mom and Dad came home to a VERY bloody sight on the night of 13012011 (it was also Friday the 13th!). Dried blood was all over the floor and they found a stillborn with sister Cat layin' near it. She's always very gd natured but turned aggressive when her stillborn was cleared away.

The next night, they found two more stillborns hidden away from sight behind some cupboards which were missed the night before. Sister Cat's temperament had already went back to normal by then.

Sigh... what a traumatized incident it was for both Sister Cat and Mom & Dad... Sister Cat must have felt so confused and sad at the same time. Mom said she almost fainted from the sight of all the blood and the stillborns that Dad had to do all the cleaning up. Then Mom also lost her appetite for awhile because she can't get the bloody raw image off her mind... and it also took her alota courage to snap a pix of it... but for what...? I dunno... I think Mom just likes to take pix of both good and bad stuff so that one day she'll be able to look through them all...

Mom googled & read that cats can have several mates. Sometimes, after they give birth to stillborns, they can still give birth to a bunch of healthy kittens a couple of days or so later. But that didn't happen to Sister Cat... 3 stillborns and that was it. She also had a swollen uterus during her spay due to her miscarriage... so she was released a day later.

this was her in the bloody room after givin' birth

poor thing and very confused...

one of the three stillborns =[

on the day of her spay

home and in pain

and extremely thirsty

rdy to go back to her siblings and friends!

Ginger Cat's Abortion And Spay

Happy New Year to all our readers! We hope 2012 will be a kinder year for all animals & may you fulfill all your new year resolutions as well.

This will also be our 301th post on the first day of 2012 since our 1st post in March 2007!

On New Year's Day this mornin', our humans released a ginger cat after her abortion and spay. They had booked a stray sterilization slot (on 30122011) with the vet's some time ago and the night before, they found her with a bulgin' stomach. So they chose her for this session and brought her home.

Sterilization cost for a female stray cat is S$30 and the abortion cost was an extra S$10 (booked under CWS). Coincidentally the lady after Mom at the vet's had a pregnant stray cat with her too! She opted for an abortion + sterilization as well. It's sad, but it's for the better as we can't keep track on all the kittens & get them all sterilized when they're older as some of them may move on to other territories of their own or end up being too elusive for us. This is the 2nd time Mom's aborted & spayed a stray animal... the 1st one was Gigi the Jack Russell Terrier and luckily for her, she's found a good forever home.

Mom kept ginger kitty for a couple of days before releasin' her. She's ok & recovered pretty fast overall but they suspect that she may be havin' some underlyin' health issues because of her excessive drinkin' of water.

Anyways here's the set of pictures of the beautiful her. She has a somewhat flatter face compared to the typical Domestic Short Hair (DSH) cats... very tame & affectionate as well. Before bringin' her back, Mom sat down to play with her a lil' & guess what! She walked right in front of the crate & nudged at the door. Mom opened it & she walked right into it settlin' down comfortably. After her surgeries, she ate & again, went back right into the crate on her own to rest.

Brother Cat's Neuter

With Mother Cat spayed already, she still has intact siblings out there... both males & females. All of them are of very similar colors & markings esp the area around their face & eyes. One of the males is too skittish to be captured while the other intact male & female are okay. So Mom had a slot booked for one of her brothers some time back, caught him last night & brought him down to the vet to be neutered this mornin', collected him at 1830 hours & released immediately.

Sigh... there's another black&white intact (male), an intact female ginger & a baby black kitty (baby of Mother Cat) as well. So it's a total of about five more intact cats there of which one brother cannot be captured. The cost is still pretty okay for Mom to handle as the sterilization slots are booked under Cat Welfare Society (CWS) & are discounted for strays. Usual price for female cats is S$85 onwards and S$65 for male cats. The rates for strays are S$31.20 for female cats & S$21.40 for males at this particular clinic... GST included. There would be reimbursement from CWS too.

Hopefully Mom will get them all spayed & neutered soon to prevent anymore litters.
