Our Cats after Release: Picked
up in 4 locations – Sorry no pictures!
1. Waxahachie:
Willow and Winnie were placed here in the pool house of the residence
that was used for the filming of Walker Texas Ranger years ago. The cats are contained in the pool house and
are doing fine. No predators can get
into those closed doors. GOOD!
2. Waxahachie:
Scout, Abby Rose, and Steffie were placed here in the tack room of the
cattle barn. All are doing great and the
black one (Scout) “talks” to the owner whenever he comes in there. The owner is happy and the cats are doing
well.
3. Kaufman: Rosie
and Samantha were placed in this workshop in Kaufman. The barn owner is now seeing them BUT the
food is disappearing and the litter box is being used….all good signs.
4. Terrell: Hansel
and Gretel were placed here a long time ago.
The property owner has a couple of other cats show up and wanted to use
our cages to get them for spay/neuter.
NO PROBLEM – we did not need it over the winter and now her project is
completed.
Flower Mound: Barn owner has asked to keep the cats caged
longer due to the extreme cold weather.
This was for Mr. Whiskers and Emily.
I am glad they are keeping the best interest of the cats in mind. They can keep that caging for as long as they
feel like the cats need it. NO
RUSH!
Bad Calls/EMAILS:
UPDATE: Friendly
Cats Dumped in the Country
Well – NO UPDATE. She said she would call on Monday but
“nothing”. I have even sent a second
email. BUMMER for the cats! The following
is the entry from last week:
Received an email from
someone saying there are 5 cats that have been dumped. I replied and asked if they are
friendly. She responded with a YES. Now – those friendly cats need to get off the
street and into an adoption group but she has not called me to discuss options and
she DID NOT INCLUDE A PHONE FOR HER IN THE EMAIL. I can probably IMMEDIATELY get those cats into
a group but have not received a call from her yet! Hope I have a positive update next week on
this situation because those cats are “in danger” in the country.
BMG: Snowy Weather
I am
sorry – this is TEXAS! We have had 2
snow falls in the last week. Each has
been 2 to 4 inches and is causing havoc on the roads. FINALLY things got better on Friday and I got
2 cats out to Argyle and picked up equipment in Ennis, Crandall, and 2 places
in Waxahachie. We wander around in the
country and ice/snow certainly makes a mess of the schedule!
OMG: Thank God for Convenia!
Convenia is a 2-week
antibiotic shot. It is expensive BUT it
has saved many of the lives of our feral cats that get an upper respiratory
infection. Our guys hide in their small
cat carriers in the big cages and it is tough to tell when they get sick. Nancy and I got out her strong flash light
and checked everyone’s eyes and noses this week. This illness is a “kid with a cold” and it
spreads from cat to cat like they were in a school room. Formerly, we had to ground up antibiotic
pills and mix them in wet food – BUT – if a cat has a cold and cannot smell, it
will not eat. Convenia is a miracle drug
in my opinion.
“Thanks” for following the
Barn Cats Blog.See you all next week. Peg
