Relocations
Barn in Whitesboro
Finding Barns

RELOCATIONS: We placed 9 this week…not double digits but OK for now. That makes 26 so far for September which is way below the 2010 placements of 66. BUMMER!

3 To Feral Friends
6 Van Alstyne

We also picked up equipment in Denison, Alvarado, and Crandall. “Spaz” got sick in relo in Colleyville so we picked her up, got her a Convenia shot, and returned her to her new barn home. Glad it was close by in Colleyville! In Alvarado, we saw “Miranda” – she looks very happy – chasing leaves and playing in the garage. In Crandall, “Dakota” now has a new friend “Cronkite”. They have become “best buds” – chasing and playing together. The family loves them both. They are garage kitties in a subdivision in Crandall.

Barn in Whitesboro: I took in 10 cats from Denton because they had found placement in Whitesboro. Now, that barn location is not returning our phone calls. Geez! Hope we can connect this week. I have 12 cats in my family room, 3 in the dining room, and 3 in the master bedroom.

Finding Barns: Nancy and I spent several hours on Thursday looking on the internet for barns in Denton County. I sent out 20 flyers hardcopy and have another 30 or so email addresses. I have also asked Jamie to invoke Constant Contact using the email address of barn owners that have taken cats from us in 2010 and 2011. Repeat business is good because the sites have already been approved. We know all the cats do not stay, unfortunately.

Keep you paws crossed that the Whitesboro barn manager calls this week!
