We just were informed our Porch has to be put down. He's the one that someone injured and made him have no control over bladder or bowels. He has become worse and they see no hope for him. We are so depressed.

Kevin & Lisa have been wonderful to all of their cats (16) and all the park cats that they feed twice daily.....I believe that there are 40 - 60 cats at their park. Porch was found hanging around their porch, and Kevin named him. Even though he was a "special needs" kitty he was always happy and always greeted people when you came to their house. He is the only one who was allowed outside because of his problem. I do believe that he "found" them because he knew he would be loved and well taken care of.
So now Porch joins Calvin at Rainbow Bridge.

Rest in peace, Porch. You sound like a real sweety and I'm glad you found love before this fateful day.

Porch, you are so gorgeous. Happy trip to the RB and say Hi to my Casper, my OJ, and also to Sandy, Pumpkin and Zachary. Tell them I love them very much.
How fortunate you were to have such a loving family to take care of you. I know you are now happy and healthy and chasing all those micies up there. Save a spot for K & L and look forward to the day you can all be together again.
Kevin & Lisa: my heart breaks for you. I know that Porch knows you loved him very much. Thanks for all you do for the kitties.

Fortunately Porch is still here. Kevin made the decision to try anything at any cost to help him through this. Porch is so packed with "poop" because of his neurological damage it's beyond constipation. They will have to preform a colonectomy(spelling) and hope Porch makes it through this. We will let you know Porch's outcome.

Catsndclay please don't feel bad. The vet made the recommendation to put him down and Kevin sadly said OK. At the last minute he said NO...please try everything you can. The major problem is the neurological damage from whatever happened to him before we found him. If Porch didn't have this problem, outcome would be much more positive. We just called the vet and they said Porch is purring and giving them love.
We found Porch wandering the neighborhood looking for food. We started feeding him and decided we'd keep him so made his vet appointment before exposing him to the rest. We noticed he never held his tail up and walked funny. The vet said he had been injured (how no one would know) and had permanent neurolgical damage. Because of this, Porch cannot control his bowels or bladder therefore we could not keep him totally indoors. We let him come and go and things seemed to be working out until now. Seems the neurolgical damage is getting worse and preventing Porch from eliminating. They're hoping removing a big portion of his colon will help his elimination by not having such a long journey down and out (to put it tactfully). They're waiting on all the blood work to make sure kidney's etc. are functioning properly before attempting surgery.
Thank you EVERYONE for all your kind words and thoughts. This is very hard, especially on my husband. We will keep you posted.

Just came back to read this. Guess I spoke too soon. Porch, God will be watching over you during the procedure. Best of luck and we'll be waiting right here for you in the hopes of seeing more pictures.
