Texas was born completely wild - a feral kitten to a feral mom in Montgomery County Texas (thus the name). After discovering the feral family I trapped the mother and she was supposedly spayed by FCAP in Houston, TX (that is a whole other story).
The whole family was tended to and I tried hard to domesticate the kittens as much as I could but was in the process of moving across many states and feral cats don't do well in vehicles. Besides when you already have five cats of your own taking on anymore puts major strains on the human & feline family.
With an additional cage set up in the vehicle carrying all the felines - none of my cats are fond of vehicles - I called for the feral kitties as we were ready to pull out - I called "Kitty, kitty, kitty", which should of brought every loose cat to me, only one came, at that point he didn't have a name, but he came running from out of the thicket ready to be a part of our life - forever. He was put in a cage much to his amazement and disapproval. He was still just a young whipper snapper then, but now he is becoming a man and that man needs to become a gelding - so to say.
The recession has put a financial strain on my personal income and the trickle effect is worse from there. The time has come to prevent adding to the pet overpopulation problem so let the funds be found.

Texas was neutered on Tom Cat Tuesday by the local Humane Shelter for $10.00 and was updated on shots, checked for leukemia and F.I.V. (negative - yea), and came home with pain meds for under $60.00 for everything. What was needed just when it was needed.
