    LES here....Scooter was a heart-babe to me, as I never got to see my Cole as a kitten, and I am sure he looked like Scooter-bug!

    How old was he?

    Thank you Lisa, for giving this dear boy a home and love, and a wonderful life.

    RIP, baby....love you!

    Thanks everyone! Sometimes you just feel kind of guilty wondering if you ever really helped them in the first place. I sure hope he wasn't in much pain before all this.

    RIP dear little Scooter. I hope you're happy at the RB.

    Thank you for taking care of this little guy; the life you gave him was infinitely better than the one he had before.

    He looked like such a little darling...........

    Don't feel guilty. It's not your fault this happened. You did the best for little Scooter and he thanks you. Scooter wouldn't want you to feel guilty. He would want you to feel happy because you freed him from pain!
    RIP scooter
    Good Luck at the Rainbow Bridge, Scooter
    Thank you so much for my siggy, kittycats_delight!

    RIP Scooter. I never realized that you did not "tame-up". But I Do know that you were loved and well cared for. Your life was too short, but it was FULL. Be a healthy angel now that you are at the RB.

    Oh Lisa, I'm sorry. You guys tried so hard to help Scooter. At least he knew what it was liked to be loved and cared for.

    Rest in Peace sweet Scooter.

    We were working on him but with him being incontinent he had to be secluded to the garage and cat run once healed from surgery. I couldn't continually clean-up all the pee that he was leaving behind. Because of that, our inter-actions with him got less and he didn't tame like he should have. Another reason I question myself. Hopefully he knows we tried to make his life better.

    Please do not beat yourself up!!! I think what you did for Scooter was above and beyond the call of duty!!! Scooter understood that you did all you could to help him. And he loved you for that. Perhaps he remained untamed so that you would not become too attached to him and when he left it would be easier for you, but now he knows differently. Scooter was so lucky that he had you to care for him and love him. Just think how different his life would have been if not for you....Sleep softly sweet Scooter... and (((((hugs))))) for you!!

    Thank you KittyGurl and lvpets2002. I guess I question whether when we initially opted for surgery if that really was the best decision. He wouldn't have undergone surgery, incontinence and infections. Maybe putting him down in the first place would've been best. I guess you really never know, but at least we did try.

    It's funny, no matter how many cats you have, when one is gone you feel a void.

    Rest in Peace little Scooter. Your owner gave you an amazing life and helped you so much. And now I bet you are at the Rainbow Bridge in a perfect wonderful body and playing with all the other animal angels.

    Even a little love in his life made all the difference in the world! You cared for him and gave him something no one else did, a warm place to sleep and the love that every single kitty deserves. Don't beat yourself up, as I know he is at the RB thanking you for the good in his life.

    *hugs* and *headbumpies* from us

    We humans are lucky if we find love at all in this world. But a cat, especially a feral one, is one lucky feline to find love and warmth and shelter and good vet care. You did all you could, Lisa. Scooter knows now more than ever how good he had it. Sleep well.

    Blessings,
    Mary
