Awhile back we TNR’d a mom cat and her 3 siblings (all black). In the last couple weeks we noticed one of the little ones was always squatting as if he had diarrhea, and didn’t seem to be growing like the others. We tried catching him a few times with no success. Finally Tuesday evening Kevin was able to nab him by the scruff of the neck. We got a call from the vet the following morning saying he, Scooter (cause he was always dragging his bottom), has a deformed penis with a very small opening. His urine was only dribbling out. They weren’t sure of his outcome, but he tested negative and of course had already been neutered. They ran blood work (normal procedure before surgery) and all came back better than expected. Scooter underwent surgery to enlarge penis opening yesterday morning. All went well and today he will have the catheter removed to see if he’s going on his own.

OK, now the dilemma is what will happen to him once he’s released? He’s feral and not very tame, and we’re getting our company in so no spare rooms available for at least a week. UGH……rescue is not always an easy thing.

We will post his picture once we pick him up from the vets. Of course he’s just adorable!
