Relocations and In Take
September Closeout
Our Cats after Release
Dogs Dumped in Denton County
Phone Calls You Don’t Want to Get


Relocations and In Take:   I placed 11 this week and unfortunately, had to euthanize a very sick one. In-take was at 8.                                              
3          Barn in Rhome
4          Barn in Sanger
4          Barn in Howe
I have placement for 1 additional but we are not sure if the barn owner will be back in town from a wedding in time to get it done on Sunday afternoon. Wait and see…

September Close-Out:  I placed 45 in September in 9 north Texas counties. That is 10 more that September of 2011. 

            Collin               Fannin             Parker
            Denton            Grayson           Tarrant
            Ellis                  Johnson           Wise

Our Cats after Release:  I picked up in Rio Vista, Melissa, Van Alstyne, and Bells. I got to see only Snowfall who was placed in Van Alstyne…because he is friendly. He looked really happy and is doing well living in the garage and backyard.     
           
Calls You Don’t Want to Get:   Saturday, 10/6, I received a call from someone in one of the counties we service. Her mom had let cats breed under her trailer for 20 years! Of course, those cats have been in-breeding for all those years. She said some are sick. NOW – mom has moved out and the daughter and son-in-law, who have large dogs, have moved in. In their perfect world, they want someone to swoop in, pick up / trap all these cats and get rid of the problem. I tried to explain that we are on the relocation end but she is unwilling to DO ANYTHING to resolve this problem except let the dogs kill them all!!! 

Dogs Dumped in Denton County:  Did you see that 40 King Charles Spaniels and 50 Maltese dogs were all dumped in Denton County this week? Another breeder gone bad no doubt! Here is the interesting part:  News releases said they were released in Sanger and Flower Mound. The Fox Channel showed a Hwy 377 sign and said Sanger….well…Hwy 377 DOES NOT RUN THROUGH SANGER! So – actually where were these dogs dumped? I may have to do some detective work next week. I need to talk with Flower Mound Animal Services anyway about 2 cats. Hummmmm!  

Thanks for following the Barn Cat Blog.  See you next week.           Peg
