Relocations and In Take

Our Cats after Release

Bad Calls/Emails:  Poor Hugo!

BMG (Bitch/Moan/Groan):  Catch and Kill - UPDATE

OMG (Oh My God):  Horse Stable Torn Down

        

Relocations and In Take:   Placed 6 this week with intake at 5.

            2          Barn in Flower Mound (Mr. Whiskers, Emily)

            2          Barn in Kaufman (Rosie, Samantha)

            2          Barn in Pilot Point (Tick Tock, Yunnan)

Our Cats after Release:   Picked up in 2 locations. 

1.      Corinth:  Heckle and Jeckle were placed in this workshop.  They are not seeing them but all the size point to them still around…food missing, etc.

2.      Crandall:  I placed Mary and Lady in this barn.  The barn owner delivered the equipment to a friend’s barn “just over the fence” so I do not get to see either of these cats but understand that they are doing well.        

3.      Whitewright:  2 solid white cats were placed here from a rescue in Denison.  The cats are doing well along with other cats we have placed at this site that does Great Pyrenees Rescue…Blue Bonnet Rescue.  With 20 to 30 of these dogs on the property, there is not a coyote for 30 miles!   

 

Bad Calls/EMAILS:  Poor Hugo!

Several years ago we placed an orange tabby in Lucas.  The barn owner called me last week and ask if we could help with Hugo who had been gone for 10 days and just shown up with a crushed rear leg.  Well – All Care did a bunch of x-rays and discovered that the leg needed to come off.  The good news is that Hugo is a friendly boy.  The barn owner borrowed a cage to keep him inside during this time of cold weather so he can recuperate.  He is doing well.

    

                            

BMG:  Catch and Kill:  Update

I have received the first cat from this North Texas town.  Channel 11 did a store on it late last week.  We shall see if Alley Cat Allies can get those ordinances changed!   Animal Control is going onto people’s property and trapping cats WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION!    WHAT?      

OMG:  Horse Stable Torn Down

Barn Cats, Inc. is over 13 years old now.  BUT, I first had the idea of putting problematic cats in a horse stable when I was with an adoption group.  There were 10-12 cats that had been returned for biting or peeing in the house and we could not adopt them out.  SO – we had an adoption event with an Arabian Horse Club at a stable in Flower Mound right along 1171 near Bridlewood sub-division.  We placed everyone of those cats at that one event.  It was great!  Well – I drove past there last Sunday and the property is totally level – land being cleared for additional homes.  A piece of Barn Cat history is gone!   Progress?             

“Thanks” for following the Barn Cats Blog.  See you all next week.          Peg
