Full Moon Crazies: Well, you always know when the moon is full….and all those crazies have my cell number!

I received a call on Wednesday evening at 8:30 PM from a lady who had a cat in a trap and said “you don’t live far from me”….hummm…does that mean she wants me to come get it? Offered for her to drop it off at the vet we use in Coppell the next morning but that was too much trouble. Since she lives “close to me”, I called Flower Mound and Lewisville Animal Services on Thursday morning and located the cat. She had called Lewisville AS to pick it up. I went by and got “Bruno” about mid-afternoon and got him tested, neutered, and vaccinated the next day. Poor guy! He has an injured foot from some sort of old injury but he gets around great. I will see about a safe barn home for him.

Monday we met a student in a college parking lot and took a cat from her because she was moving. A little weird but most young people are not good at planning ahead when they are moving. She did the paperwork and we took the cat. Of course, it is 7 months old and never seen a vet! We got him tested, neutered, and vaccinated then traded him to an adoption group. Well – On Thursday, I received a message that the student had “stolen” the cat from a former roommate and she had filed a police report. Not exactly the entire story: She moved out in January and left the cat there. The police refused to take a formal report on it because it is a civil matter. I had no idea if this cat is or ever was her cat….no tags, no chip, no vet records. AND – the cat did not respond to the name she gave me over the phone. Well, that is the end of that one because the cat is now with an adoption group and will receive a safe, in-door home with a FAMILY – no more irresponsible students for him.

OK – the full moon cycle is over for now and time for things to settle down a bit.
