LA was my best friend in high school, CMR.  He’d end the day by saying C M R o.  If his sister reads this note, please give me a call. 
Thanks, Louis

I count myself blessed to have been lucky enough to have met someone that had such compassion, understanding and respect for the creatures that he cared for, wether they were animal or human.  He always had a smile for us.  He told us the truth in the kindest way. I give my condolences to his family and extended family. Thank you for sharing him with us!  Donna, Jodie and critters Denson.

Dr. King was the sweetest thing. He was always so helpful with all the animals. He always had a smile on his face. God Bless you Dr. King

Dr. King was always polite and pleasant when I happened to see him at TLC. He treated our cats and dogs with respect, kindness and knowledge. 
I will miss is smiling face and presence at TLC. 
God bless him and condolences to his family for the loss of a kind, generous, animal loving human being.
RIP Dr. King

I’m so very sorry for y’all’s loss. I know its  a great loss.  Dr. King will be remembered by many for all his dedication and his kindness to everyone and also to the many many animals he treated. I pray God will give all of his family and friends a Strength, Comfort and Peace that will sustain them until they meet again. In Jesus Name. Amen. R.I.P. Dr. King. Your work on earth is done. 

May he rest in peace and be surrounded by friends,  family and pets who have passed before him.  I'm so thankful for all of the amazing work that he performed with his amazing talent helping so many animals. He definitely made a difference in the world! Prayers go out to his family and any pets he left behind.

I was so very sad to hear of Dr. King’s passing. He was my friend. He was brilliant!  He was a great surgeon. He would do anything for you. Always had a smile and a story for you. 
He will be greatly missed in the academic, veterinary and animal world. He did great things. 
My prayers are with his sister and family. 
God speed Dr. King 

I am so sorry for your loss. The world is a better place because of Dr King.  

I am so sorry for the loss and I want to give my deepest condolences to his family, friends, and co-workers/employees. 

I did not know Dr. Allen King Jr. personally, but I had the opportunity to get my cat's fixed at the Texas Litter Control and without this help, I would not be able to take these little animals in. 

Every loss these days is a very sad one and I wish his family, friends, and coworkers/employees strength to go through this challenging time. I know he will be missed badly and I know out of the experience it will hurt a while, but it will get better, even we cannot see it right away.

All my best wishes, God bless.
Sincerely, Reynaldo F.

Dr King's passing is very sad news indeed. My deepest sympathies go out to his family. The animal world was a much better place because of this wonderful man...a dedicated animal lover, skilled surgeon and talented healer. I believe that he enriched the lives of those who knew him both furry, 4 legged and humans alike. This wonderful, gentle man will be deeply missed.

Personally, I did not know Dr. King, but to know that he was this involved with saving small lives is the compassion I feel kindred to. Those of us who do animal rescues, I have found, have a special genetic function that not all humans possess.  It allows us to know the pain, fear, joy, and need of every creature whose quality life depends on human care.
I salute you Dr. King and his family and band of wonderful friends who possess that wonderful and much needed genetic trait.
Sincerely,
PeggySue Moran, A fellow rescuer.

I remember Dr. King when Texas Litter Control was in a trailer on Pruitt road. That was when I had two feral cats, a mother and daughter, I had trapped them because I knew if I didn’t, I would soon have a colony in my back yard. I was so impressed with all the staff’s tireless dedication. Since then, I have brought so many feral cats to TLC for spaying/neutering. I am so grateful for all your organization does. People like Dr. King are hard to find. I pray TLC is blessed with ten more Dr. Kings!!! I thank his family and pray for them as they grieve through his passing.

I am so very sorry for your loss.  The world and furbabies have lost a precious loving soul and caregiver.  Prayers for your family.

I’m so sorry for the loss. He was a wonderful man. He will be missed. My prayers are with the family .

Thank you Dr. King for caring for those in need and for being their voice and their friend.  

You were always  in a good mood. 
You always  had a story to tell or a memory to share.
You always brought your laser light for the cats, and treats for the dogs. You cared. Always. 
You always had a quirky  sense of humor. 
You knew  almost every song I did. Almost. 
You were so in love with your boy Bandit and he with you. 
You knew almost everything about everything or you sure were convincing. 
There’s so much more I want you to share with me and teach me about medicine, animals, life. 
And yes, Dr King, I know.... this one’s  in heat. 
Love you and miss you.

Oh my, where do I start? I met Dr King almost 20 years ago when he signed on with RSVP to work relief in Texas. I was his scheduler, so we spent many hours on the phone discussing his life and history,  his current needs and future goals..and challenges.  We became fast friends..a friendship that transcended work, and lasted all these years.  Dr King was an inspiration.  Life had been so difficult and unfair to him, yet he remained kind and positive.  He was always determined. Upbeat.  Compassionate.  Humble.  One of the evaluations a clinic sent me in 2003 said, 'He treats every staff member as his best friend and every patient as his own.  He puts our clinic policies and goals for the day very high on his priority list.  We enjoy every day of work with him-he has become like a member of our employee family.'  The last time I saw Dr King was at SWVS in September.  He caught me up on what he had been doing,  his goals for the coming months, and of course Bandit.  We laughed and cheered and celebrated his year.  How I cherish that last visit now.  He was the dearest man and I am so upset he is gone.  Prayers and sympathy to his family.  And to Dr King, much love and God speed   friend. You were a blessing to me.   Monica 

What’s Up Doc.....
This how every conversation started between us.  The first shift I had with him at Texas Litter Control was a Sunday. He was so thrilled to have another male working there that all we did was talk that day. He made me feel very comfortable in a new environment.  My dad had just had a wreck when I started and Dr. King made sure to ask me every time he saw how things were going with my dad. I’ll never forget that. We talked about life and health the last Saturday that I had the pleasure of working with him in spring. We laughed and joked about how we never get to see each other more and hoped that soon we could work together and that myself and others could sit and hear him play his guitar soon. You will be missed more than words can say. 

With lots of love and respect,
Noah 

Dr King recently treated my dog Dingo  He was such a kind caring man.   Dingo was a stray that we ended up keeping   Dr king was so easy to speak with and it was such sad news to hear about losing one of our biggest animal advocate. You will be missed.

Dr. L.A. King!
It was so nice working with you. It's devastating that we lost you far too soon. You had a great smile that lit up any room, super intelligent and very witty. You will be missed by us all. With so much love.

-Caress

We miss you, Doc. Bandit is safe and loved.

Quite suddenly, Houston has lost one of our biggest animal advocates. I didn't know him well at all, but you could easily see his love for animals and his quiet confidence. During his career, Dr. King performed well over 100,000 spay and neuter surgeries.  
He was quite impressive and he will be sorely missed.
