No, he will not be. We've had cats on *true* bite quarantines that still go up for adoption. We have a cat currently who you CANNOT pet because she'll swat the *expletive* out of you. If they are completely feral, but healthy, they become 'garden' or 'working' cats and are adopted out to barns.

We only euthanise for SEVERE health or behavioural problems, and the behavioural is mostly for dogs. We've had cats with kidney disease, currently have 2 hyperthyroid cats, and a 10 year old cat with some sort of liver disease who we placed a feeding tube, did an exploratory, took a liver biopsy and performed a cystotomy to remove the bladder stones.

That's why I still have Bramble. That's why we have a ward set aside for ringworm kitties. That's why we have a puppy with scabies and have 5 puppies on a 14 day parvo quarantine.
