I've missed this thread but I just wanted to say how wonderful it was that you took him in and did so much for him. It's great that his owners were found but I really hope someone pointed out to them that he shouldn't be allowed to roam anymore, poor old guy.

I know it's been explained but I just wanted to chime in on what Laura's Babies said, as I started reading this thread I too was thinking how sad that this cat might die after finally being rescued into a good home. I wasn't thinking that you were the cause, just that it was a shame now that he had a good chance he wasn't strong enough to make it and enjoy life with you.

Anyway, kudos to you and your mom for helping him! We need more people like that in the world!
