Me too. I just could not have left him. But I know you guys are at your limit - what is it, 18 now? So you did your best and what you had to do.

I think this is one of the things about rescue work that is so hard. Instead of thinking of all the good you've done for so many, you get so wrapped up and blame yourself for the ones that you feel you didn't help enough. I know it's hard, but you can't feel this way! You did more than anybody else would have - and are still doing more by being there every night for them.

Please don't beat yourself up over this, but try and think of it positively. You helped him to live a healthier life by neutering him and providing him a relatively safe place to live. He'll be fine.
