Pregnant cat arrives at family health center to give birth in Turkey’s east

BİTLİS

A pregnant cat arrived in a family health center to give birth in the eastern province of Bitlis. 

The cat, which was struggling to give birth, entered the health center in Bitlis’ Tatvan and started meowing in pain, daily Hürriyet reported on April 13.

The personnel in the health center recorded the cat’s actions on camera and asked a veterinary for help. The veterinary took the cat, and she gave birth via a cesarean section. 



“When we received the cat, she was in a poor condition and in pain. Because the time for her to give birth had passed, we had to urgently give her an operation,” said the veterinary who performed the cesarean section.

“The operation was successful. We now have four kittens. She will stay under our protection until she regains her health and we find homes for the kittens,” the veterinary added.
