His former family asked a local animal shelter to euthanize him. They refused.

Things are looking up for a North Carolina cat who walked 12 miles to get back to his former home, only to have his owners surrender him to an animal shelter and ask that he be euthanized.
Luckily for the fluffy orange cat, named Toby, the shelter refused to do so. Instead, they transferred him to another shelter — the SPCA of Wake County, where he was put up for adoption. The SPCA announced this week that Toby had found a new, loving family.
Toby’s former owners had tried to find him a new home because of conflicts with their other cats, SPCA of Wake County communications manager Tara Lynn told HuffPost.
“Toby originally showed up to their home as a stray cat, and [Toby and the other cats] weren’t getting along,” she said.

So glad cat found a loving home 
Max is a good boy. The folks who used to live behind us named him. He really wasn't their cat either, but they did take him in their home sometimes. Unfortunately they got foreclosed on and had to move. The guy that wanted to keep him ended up sleeping on his friend's couch. He would call me from time to time, but I haven't heard from him in a few months now. At least it's always warm here in sunny South Florida. As long as Max stays out of the road, he should be just fine.
