Sorry for the delay - with the Bash and some other things, this is a week late. As soon as the Bash is closed out, will get the current week blog finished!

Relocations and In Take:   Placed 3 this week with intake at 1: 

2          Carport area in Lillian (Ray, Judy)

1          Barn in Royse City (Chadwick)

With the Bash fast approaching, I am glad it was a rather slow week with placements and intake.

Travel Problem:  Nancy and I traveled 1 ½ hours into east Texas only to not be able to find the correct house AND I had a bad phone number on my records…first time this has happened. I called the number I had and it was someone with the same first name but the wrong person. SO – this mistake is mine but I do not know how to recover at that point. We turned around and came home the 1 ½ hours. I will have to give those 3 cats “frequent flyer miles”. 

May Closeout:  It was a great month with 66 cats placed. This brings us to 274 for the year. This is about 40 more than last year at this time. We were in the following 12 counties: 

Collin               Dallas              Denton            Ellis

Fannin             Grayson           Hunt                Johnson

Parker             Rockwall          Tarrant            Wise

                          

 Our Cats after Release:             

Waxahachie – Emerson, Mickey, Mary, Brandon, Brady, Blackie, Jimmy, Suzie, Silver and Murphy are still around her barn and the next door neighbor’s barn. She even happened on two in the tack room the morning I came to collect equipment. 

Dallas – These were a total of 6 cats from a gas station that were relo’ed to a Dallas apartment site. I did not see any but the food is being eaten and mice droppings seem to be less around their pool area where the primary problem was occurring. 

Red Oak – Took 2 feral black cats (Taylor, Jamie) and a friendly one (Sheba) out to this property.  The 2 ferals are living under the house and Sheba is staying in the greenhouse. 

Burleson – Callee and Andrew are doing well. They were spotted about dawn the morning AFTER I picked up the equipment and were chasing mice! Working Cats!

Phone Calls/Emails You Don’t Want to Get: 

A local vet clinic had a guy come it and BE NASTY because they would not let him get all his cats that “were going to barn cats” done at the clinic without approval. Well – I do not know this guy – so GOOD JOB to not let him charge to us!                

BMG: 

Nothing to complain about this week – concentrating on the Barn Cat Bash.

 Thanks for following the Barn Cats blog.  See you next week!           Peg
