Relocations – FINALLY!
Bad Traffic
Placements
Finding Barns
RELOCATIONS: Finally – the hot weather has broken. We got 12 placed this week.
1 Crandall as a “friend” for a cat we placed there several months ago.
2 Alvarado as garage cats
4 Ferris for a barn / workshop area
2 Lake Texoma area for their “cat house”
2 Denison for a Polo Barn
1 Pottsboro for a shed / patio – friend for another cat we placed several years ago
Traffic: Well we all know traffic is bad during the week in Dallas but yesterday (Saturday) took the grandt prize. I-30 was totally closed down going West from Rockwall. If you know that area, it is over Lake Ray Hubbard and there is absolutely NO ESCAPE unless you have a “sail” on your car! I spent 1 hour and 40 minutes getting across that lake from Hwy 205 to the Dalrock exit. I was ready to kill someone! At least in the new vehicle the over-heating was not a problem. I have never seen that many 18-wheelers anywhere else except sitting in a freight yard. I used to work for Central Freight Lines in the mid-70’s.
Placements: Several of the barns that contacted me in July and August, have either put out poisons now (no cats until that is gone) or are not returning my calls/emails.
It is going to be a bad SNAKE year (due to the dry weather) – so, get those cats now and let them start doing their job.
Finding Barns: For many years, Barn Cats has sent press releases to small town newspapers in order to find barn homes for our cats. Well, those options are drying up. It appears that many of them have “gone away” – bought out or just disappeared all together. I did a series of press releases this week and many have been returned. I need to think of “Plan B” to get the word out. Any ideas are welcomed – info@barncats.org.
