After spending at least two years prowling the streets, a mysterious cat by the name of Baron had developed quite a reputation in the area.
He was fed by helpful neighbours, and countless humane traps meant to catch him had been foiled by his cunning.
“For several weeks, people observed the cat emerge, then vanish. Although he was difficult to locate, the neighbours kept the community informed whenever they saw him “shared by Chatons Orphelins in Montreal.
When the area’s temperatures fell, worried neighbours posted pictures of the cat in an effort to get him to safety.
Many individuals were engaged in assisting neighbourhood stray animals, and they devised a strategy to capture Baron.
Baron returned to one of the neighbours who had aided him when hunger set in and the weather grew really cold. Then, a trap was prepared. He walked right in for food instead of avoiding it as he has in the past.
His time as an alley cat was finished when he eventually entered the trap.
Baron tested positive for FIV, like many outdoor tomcats do (feline immunodeficiency virus). Despite spending his entire existence as a stray, Baron swiftly adjusted to life indoors.
