Relocations and In Take
Dallas Bishop Arts District

RELOCATIONS and In Take: Well – it could not have been slower – 1 placed. AND – as if that is not bad enough, we took in 16. OUCH!

1 Barn in Celina (took a heater)

Dallas Bishop Arts District: The daughter of a lady in her 90’s called but wanted to do trap/neuter/return….GOOD! I referred this one to Celia with Kittico because she has worked a lot down in that area with several other folks. Celia called the daughter and made arrangements to trap on Sunday evening (2/5). Well, Celia’s husband got sick and needed surgery, so Celia called and rescheduled for the next Sunday evening (2/12). In the time of that second week, the elderly lady fell and her son decided to “take the cats off”. elia was livid – and ME TOO! He told the family he took them to Wylie Animal Services (but this is in Dallas). A quick call to Wylie verified that they had not received the cats. Celia found them at DAS and she is to get them out on Monday. I went over there on Saturday to pick up the cats that were on her porch in a cage…4 of them. Today 2/12 Celia’s finds another lady in the neighborhood that is “looking for her cats”. It seems that these cats are taken care of by multiple neighbors. o, here is the good news (finally): Celia has trapped 5 more. They will be sterilized and returned on Monday. I will take the 4 I have to Kittico on Monday and Celia will return them to their neighborhood as well. GEEZ! A happy ending for a change!

We have 6 going to Allen on Monday morning, 3 to Pilot Point in the afternoon, and those 4 being returned to their Dallas neighborhood….I am tired already!

Thanks for following the Barn Cat Blog. I am still working on press releases to get us some barn sites for cat placements. Janet K has returned to Dallas from California and she is helping do the research for the newspapers. Keep your paws crossed!
