Turkish cat has C-section giving birth to three kittens
At Yüzüncü Yıl University's (YYÜ) Van Cat Research and Application Center, a Van cat (a species from Turkey's province of Van) gave birth to three healthy kittens via cesarean section. The Center started a cesarean section program for Van Cats that for certain reasons can't give natural birth.
At YYÜ’s Van Cat Research and Application Center, a Turkish Van cat gave birth to three healthy kittens via C-section.
What distinguishes them from other species are their silky white furs; they generally have amber or blue eyes, or are odd-eyed.
The center developed the cesarean section system, known as a hysterotomy in medical terms, for cats incapable of natural birth, to give birth to their young.
