Relocations and In Take
June Close Out
Three Orange Tabbies
Cole
Bonham
Relocations and In Take: We placed 4 this week. The weather was too hot and the July 4th
holiday kept us from placing them in barns. The Gunter barn has a fan on the cage.

1 Adopted
“Mimi” was the cat adopted
by one of the Barn Cat volunteers. She
has been with us for 10 months and was originally trapped at Mimi’s Cafe in
Lewisville. Please don’t think that she
was in a cage all that time. For most of
it she was loose at the volunteer’s home getting used to her dog and other
cat. So – it finally worked its’ way out
and “Mimi” has a safe, in-door home!
June Closeout: We placed 29 in June and 13 of those were with
adoption groups. This gives us a running total of 265 for the year. With the 100+ temperatures, we have to be
very careful of putting a cat in a cage in a hot barn. Counties covered in June were:
Fannin
Collin
Denton
Three Orange Tabbies:
Several weeks ago in the Blog I mentioned I had placed
3 orange tabbies in a barn in Bells, TX. Well, they have now been released and all are sticking around the
barn! YEAH! I had been saving those cats for a lady in
McKinney who kept scheduling the relocation then postponing it for various
reasons then finally (after about 3 weeks) cancelled it altogether. BUT – it appears that they have found a good
home!
Cole: In May, I took a black cat from a lady who
got him out of Dallas Animal Services. I
placed him about mid-May in Oak Point.
Well, it appears that Cole did not like his barn home because he has
selected a new home. A vet clinic called
from Frisco that a person had found the cat and it is chipped to Barn Cats from
Dallas Animal Services. YES IN
DEED! If he checked out without leukemia,
Cole will be permanently adopted by that lady and become an indoor cat. GREAT!
Bonham: Well it appears that city officials are not
very animal-friendly in Bonham. The city
shelter has cats mixed with barking dogs (very stressful) and virtually no
adoption program. They have no citizen
oversight committee either. They just
kill most of them. Sadly, many cities have not gotten into the 21st century yet.
Thanks for following the Barn
Cat Blog. See you next week! Peg
