I just got off the phone with the lady from Joey's Feline Friends. She has a shelter at her house which you saw pictures of. It's part indoor and part outdoor. Stables were converted into a cattery but the cats can be in a field as well. Lucas is going to her partners shelter. It is 5 minutes away from her and one acre. She lives there and Lucas will get daily attention and vet care when needed. He will be neutered THIS Tuesday. There are other cats there as well. He will start out in a cage to get acclimated and I will stay for that. Then he will be let out. She said most of the cats hang out in the carport.
They do deal with intercat aggression issues sometimes and have another cat that sometimes gets mean. They just try and figure out how to deal with that particular cat. Volunteers help as well.
There is a fee involved so this "shelter" can survive. It's 30 dollars a month, or 360 dollars a year. I also have to sign something that says I will help with vet fees if anything major happens but she says that is rare. She has been trained by vets and can deal with a lot of things herself. She works with vets and knows them well enough to know which one to go to for a particular problem.
I also have to sign that they can euthanize if his quality of life is poor.
This lady is awesome and we are meeting on Saturday at 11:30am. Lucas is going to have a good life, and a safe one, where he won't be a burden and he won't have to live in diapers.

Yay! for Lucas. I hope that he will like his new place. I know you'll let us know how he's doing.
Congratulations to Lucas! I hope you (and us!) don't miss him too badly. Seems like a great place for kitties.
Bye bye sweet Lucas. I will miss you. Please keep in touch after you go to your new home. I hope you gets your purresent alright.
Bittersweet! Good luck Lucas.
It is bittersweet. I have enjoyed getting to know Lucas, but I know he is going to be so much happier where he is going. You're a doll, Alisha, for helping Lucas find this place. Make sure to bring your camera on your trip so you can show us pictures of his sweet homecoming!
Best of wishes little fellow. You are going to be living in paradise in the midst of paradise. Yes, Alisha please take pictures (need we ask?) when you get there and give him our best!
