Relocations and In Take
Full Moon
Our Cats after Release
Phone Calls You Don’t Want to Get:
Relocations and In Take: We placed 5 this week with in-take at 6…oops…numbers
still going the wrong way again!
2 Greenhouse in Oak Leaf
3 Barn in Rhome
Full Moon: People bringing in cats were very emotional
this week…crying and crying and crying.
The phone calls were not WEIRD, which is unusual for a full moon, but I
did get stuck in the mud in Rhome making the cat delivery on Saturday
evening. The good news is that the barn
owner got me pulled out with his minivan that has a trailer hitch. Rain is good and rain is bad!
Our Cats after Release: I did not pick
up any equipment this week but hope to have updates next week. Relocations will be completed this week in
Bells, Frisco, Crowley, Rio Vista, Melissa, and Van Alstyne.
Calls You Don’t Want to Get: Important Information - Don’t get a cat in a trap THEN begin to make
phone calls to get a place to take her/him. You have to make a plan “soup to nuts” – from trapping, to a spay/neuter
appointment, to Barn Cats availability BEFORE YOU TRAP! It would be like showing up to a hospital
for surgery without having a doctor selected or a room reserved. All cats coming to Barn Cats, Inc. must have:
·
Tested NEGATIVE for
feline leukemia
·
Been sterilized
· Current
rabies and distemper shots
Who
we take is based on 2 things:
·
Has the vet work
been done?
·
Is there space to keep the cat until a barn is identified?
Folks
often offer to purchase a cage for me to take their cat…which means I would
have to put it up in my family room, dining room or bedroom but there is just no more room for setting up additional cages. If there is a crisis, you could contact Barn Cats, get on the list and set up caging at your location while waiting for space.
Thanks for following the Barn
Cat Blog. See you next week. Peg
