Relocations and In Take
Successful Relocations


RELOCATIONS and In Take: Placed 10 this week.
3 Barn in Leonard
4 Barn in Coppell
3 Barn in Ector

In take added up to 4: 3 from Lafayette, Louisiana – from the Intercoastal Waterway and 1 friendly that went to Leonard. I had to drive to Shreveport on Sunday to pick up the last 3 of that group of 17.

The Leonard barn had gotten 3 cats from us in 2006. One disappeared immediately, one disappeared in 2009 and the third had moved on to a neighbor’s barn. he family redecorated their barn as a “Man Cave” complete with sectional sofa, giant screen TV, and a bar. That 3rd cat did not like all the commotion and moved next door. Well – that was a good excuse for us to place three more with them. I wish them the same luck as that third cat – a long life!

Successful Relocations: On Saturday, 3/24, I placed 3 in Ector near Bonham then picked up equipment in Sherman, Durant, and Valley View. Each pickup location had a good story to tell:

Sherman: All three cats have stayed around and are leaving rodent bodies around (and/or rodent parts).

Durant: This was the second group of 2 cats I had put out there. The first group is now hanging out in a neighbor’s barn…guess they have better food! The second group has stayed where I put them.

Valley View: When I cannot take a cat due to space, I tell the cat’s owner “If they can find a barn, I will place their cat in the barn they find.” That is what happened in Valley View. The family wanted a friendly cat…so I went out with our equipment, set it all up, and the cat’s owner brought her over. t all worked out fine and Tabitha is having a great time with the family’s children.

Next week is looking good for cat placements….keep your paws crossed!
