A compassionate individual who cares for stray cats in his neighborhood regularly leaves food on his porch for them. One evening, he noticed that most of the food had disappeared and spotted blood stains near the bowl.

“It was a freezing cold night. Even though he couldn’t see the cat, he had a feeling that the stray was in trouble,” recounted Celine from Chatons Orphelins Montreal.

The kind-hearted person decided to put out extra food and set up a humane trap the next night, with the hope of safely capturing the injured cat.

He was found as a frightened stray with injuries, taken in by Chantons Orphelins Montreal. “Soon after, the door closed and a furry ball appeared in the trap. The hungry cat immediately went for the food.” Years on the streets had left him scarred from fights with other animals. Trembling with fear, he huddled in a corner of his unfamiliar surroundings, seeking refuge.

Celine shared a heartwarming story of how a compassionate soul discovered a cat in distress and reached out to their organization for help. The cat, named Balti, was in a sorry state – malnourished, with a wound on his leg, and diagnosed with FIV. Despite his fear, Balti exhibited no aggression and sought comfort in a sink at the vet’s office.

In Chato’s Orphan Sanctuary, they witnessed a remarkable improvement in Balth’s condition, all thanks to the care and nourishment he received. Each passing day brought healing to his wounds, a sparkle in his eyes with renewed vitality, and a growing sense of security. It was evident that Balth had never encountered humans before finding shelter with them, but he slowly started to warm up to socializing in his foster home.

Initially, Balth sought refuge under the safety of a bed, only venturing out briefly when nobody was around. His cautious and wary eyes revealed his sense of disorientation, as he remained hidden in the shadows during the first few days, despite the worst being over.

As time went on, he started to trust his foster caregiver more and more. The sound of a can opening signaled mealtime to the kitten, and he began to associate his caregiver with food and warmth. Slowly but surely, he began to show more confidence and emerged from his hiding spot under the bed to interact with them.

Balth didn’t have to worry about his next meal at Chatons Orphelins Montreal. Over time, he began accepting pets from his caregivers and even asking for more. Through a consistent routine and the loving attention of his foster family, Balth learned to trust and eventually discovered his purr.

By using positive reinforcement, Chato’s Orpheiansmorgtreal gradually let his guard down, and the fear that once filled his eyes dissipated. Described as a gentle soul with big paws (polydactyl) and sturdy legs, he has blossomed and now seeks affection eagerly. He has begun to engage in playtime, relish cuddles, and will affectionately rub against his human companions when seeking attention.

Even though Baltie is approximately three years old, he still maintains a kitten-like spirit.

Baltie becomes particularly animated during mealtime when he gets to enjoy his favorite food.
