Kitty, Thomas, Merdinha (alias: Mandy))
6 Barn in Pilot Point (Scruffy, Dennis,
Duncan, Derrick, Dickey, Donny)
1 Backyard in Prosper (Hera)
1 Garage/Workshop in Denison (Bella)
4 Bonham Rescue
I put Little Kitty and Leo
in the same triple cage in Whitewright.
She immediately got into his carrier and started licking on his
head. MAJOR CUTE!
Our Cats after Release: Picked
up equipment in 4 locations this week.
1.
Sherman: Arial and Tiger are both at this barn. Tiger is working out great but Arial is being
“nasty” to his dogs. BUT – both are doing
well.
Tiger
2.
Grand
Prairie: 3 from a school and 4 from
Tyler went to this riding stable. I did
not get to see any of them and the manager was not home when I went to get
equipment. One for sure has gone to a
neighbor’s house…maybe the food is better there!
3.
Bartonville: Put Cookie, Sheba, and Piper went to this
barn with 4 donkeys. Cookie and one of
the other two (both black – hard to tell) are still around and making
themselves know on the property.
4.
Denison: Nala and Boots were put in this garage
workshop. Unfortunately, they have not
been seen since Easter when many relatives were on the property and some
brought their dogs! But maybe they will
reappear soon. It has only been a week. The property owner was going out each evening
and singing to them!
Bad Calls/EMAILS:
Problems in Other States
I try
and help anyone that calls/emails even if it is in a state besides Texas….and
even outside of North Texas which is our territory. We cover 37 North Texas counties with in a
2-hour travel time around Dallas/Fort Worth.
I give them “general” information (how to find other organizations in
their area) and since the end of 2013 I forward any emails I have received from
folks outside of Texas. With our Texas
Country Reporter and American Heartland productions on us, I get requests from
all over. If you need cats for your
barn, I look for folks in the same state that are trying to place cats and then
get them in contact with each other. If
you need to place some cats, I send requests from barn owners. I hope it is working out – I usually do not
received any follow-up communications.
BMG: Pet Peeve: No Phone
Mail Box
People: If you do not have a phone mail box then you
should NOT be leaving messages in
other folks’ boxes. That puts the task
on me to try to get hold of you with multiple phone calls. After 2 calls, I give up. You ask for help then do not give me a
vehicle to get hold of you. AND you are
probably saying “OOOH Poor Me: No one
returns my calls. No one cares about
these cats!” Well, I care but you are not making it possible. SORRY!
Move into the 20th century – not even the 21st
century! Geez!
OMG: Update on the Cat Room Cats
Older cats just stay with
us. At least they are not out in the
cold or extreme heat and certainly not chased by coyotes or whatever! Currently Bunny, Valentina, Tess, Tinker (Queen
of the Cat Room), Rambo and Mango are loose in the Cat Rooms. Below is a picture of 3 of them sleeping
together – so cute!
Valentina, Tess, and Bunny
Barn Cat Bash Auction:
Yard Art
Our auctions are pretty
much famous for our yard art. We get it
in Whitesboro, Pilot Point, and Granbury.
We have numerous pieces on this auction – giant flamingo, dog, cat, wine
sign, Texas sign, giant grasshopper, cat in flip flops, etc.
They are made from old car parts. I will have pictures for your later....cannot get them to transfer from my phone today...??? Magic and mirrors!
Thanks for following the
Barn Cats blog. See you next week! Peg
