Oh dear that is terribly sad, it sounds like the right choices were made for George in the end, and obviously his owner cared for him deeply,sometimes we have to make that hard call, it is about quality of life, and if it just is not there, it is unfair, even somewhat selfish to put a cat through so much, knowing that the end result is not going to be good, he just had too many complications i think, REST IN PEACE sweet kitty, Ash is there to greet you with open paws and a lick or two.

Take comfort in knowing candace you did a lot for George, and he was well loved.HUGS and my deepest sympathy to George's owners.
