Lucas is a special needs kitten that must wear a diaper because of neurological damage. He may have a broken tail or a damaged spine and has no bladder or bowel control. Despite this, he is energetic, sassy, and very happy to be alive!

Surgery Successful!
I called Tedra today to check up on Lucas. He is doing well! He was neutered yesterday, hurray! The vet decided not to amputate his tail. She said he is still young and could rejuvenate those nerve cells. I never thought of that! Maybe one day that tail will curl and wave! I sure hope so. The vet said he was so sweet, he just crawled onto her lap. Tedra said they decided to just stick his bum in warm water once a day instead of applying the desitin. She didn't say this but another thing I thought of is that another cat could have licked it off! You know how cats are! And that's not good. So anyway he's still in a cage, adjusting to his new environment. But he is doing well!

That's good news. Thanks for the update, Alisha!
Great news Alisha! Won't that be wonderful if he regains use of his tail, even partially. I'm so glad Lucas found a great new home, thanks to you!
That would be neat if his tail gets better...we didn't know that could happen!
Excellent! So happy that Lucas is doing well post neuter.
We are so happy that Lucas has found a place to live and that perhaps he could get some use back in his tail. Alisha, you are such an angel to go above and beyond for little Lucas, and all the others you foster.
