With the enthusiastic interest of all the staff at the docks in North Vancouver, AAS had been tender-trapping dozens of feral cats, spaying or neutering, releasing and feeding them, so we were more or less "on call" whenever new cats or kittens were spotted by any of the kind-hearted employees. Wee Annie, with her brothers and sisters, was found hidden by their mother in a pile of lumber, which about to be loaded onto a ship. One of the kindly guys, who all took a soft-hearted interest in the feral cats which made their homes in the bushes nearby, discovered the clutch of tiny kittens when his fork-life barely missed crushing them all.
