I think you have all misunderstood Ben. If you read his post carfully he says that if you were chosing between putting it to sleep or letting it go that letting it go would be better BUT he would not do that, "find him a home at least" is what he said.

I hate to see people fighting over things and it looks like this is a misunderstanding of words. Its hard to know what people are thinking and feeling when you are reading text so please re-read Bens post carefully and I think you will understand that he would never let a cat go. He seems like a great person so please don't turn him away from the board by fighting.
