Yesterday Cooter went to the Bridge. Eight years ago one of my neighbors found him in their backyard. He had been abused (vet said his teeth were bashed in either by accident or on purpose) and he had had a beating.

These nice neighbors have been taking in strays and once they had a stream of dumped cats, some they kept in their yard b/c they are too scared of people but they care for their small colony most lovingly.

Cooter (no idea how old he was, 9 or 10 yrs) was the most friendly, he had to be fed creamy food because he had no teeth so the lady cooked and made formulas for him.

He declined lately but the vet couldn't find anything wrong and yesterday he died. It is sad but he had 8 good years with this people so in balance I think he was lucky, he knew love and that's far more than other dumpees get

RIP Cooter

Condolences on the loss of Cooter - it sounds like he was treasured by all the neighbors
You are right, at least he knew what it was to belong somewhere, in a safe place, with love and good care - and he had lots of love to light the path to over the Bridge.

Oh good grief that poor baby, what he's went through in the beginning


Bless all your hearts for looking after these babies.

Cooter sweetie, as you walk across Rainbow Bridge, all TCS cats and kittens will be there at the other end to meet you to take you to your new home. Have a wonderful time over the bridge Cooter, but keep looking down on the ones who cared for you
