We had a Madam Fifi come to our shelter to get spayed. He got neutered instead. Still called Madam Fifi thoughSometimes its not easy. I know of several occasion where the breeder got to change name of the day of selling the kitten, at 12 weeks. Even one of my grandchildren from Alef become Alfa...
And not even mentioning the stories where a little tom come foward with a couple of kittens after himher... NOT adopted in the street.
