Bad Calls/Emails:  Jerk!

OMG (Oh My God):  Two Cats Returned

Relocations and In Take:   We had 10 placements this week.    

     3     Garage and Barn in Fairview (Spot, Mork, Mindy)

     2     Barn in Greenville – organic farm (Posey, Petunia)

     5     Adoption Group (Moonshine, Casey, Ben, Jerry, Suzie)

 

Well, it finally quit raining and more placements were completed.  Also picked up several locations of equipment. 

Our Cats after Release: 

1.        Southlake:  DeeDee, Shelley, Skitty Kitty, and Ginger went to this barn right behind the family home.  I saw the dilute torti but could not get a picture.  She saw all 4 just that morning – so – all is good in Southlake.

2.        Saint Jo:  Scotty, Yankee, and Ariel were placed in this hay/feed barn north of Saint Jo near the Red River.  I saw one run from us in the shadows and the barn owner had seen all three the night before.  YEAH!   

3.        Waxahachie:  Thelma and Louise went to this barn home.  The barn owner saw both just before I arrived but I did not set to see them.  Love those two girls!  Hope they have a great life in Waxahachie. 

November Closeout

Bad Calls/EMAILS:  Jerk!

The phone rang and a guy was mumbling about a kitten.  I could not understand him and asked “What are you trying to do?”  He yelled “JERK” into the phone and hung up.  OH WELL – I was going to explain how to find an adoption group but I guess HE KNOWS BEST – HA HA!  Sorry for the kitten!

BMG:  Two Kittens from a Dirt Road

A LISD teacher was visiting with his parents in the Whitesboro area.  He was driving down a deserved dirt road when he saw two, small kittens.  He stopped, opened his door, and they jumped into the truck!  He returned to Lewisville on Monday and brought the kittens.  I took them because he had no other options and traded them to an adoption group on Saturday.  Now, Ben and Jerry will get safe, in-door homes!     

OMG:  Two Cats Returned

A barn owner decided to sell her property and move.  The purchaser did not want the two cats that have lived there for 1 ½ years.  Mary, Martha, and Lazarus were placed there in the spring of 2014.  Mary went away but Martha and Lazarus were still in the garage/workshop.  I went over to the location in Cedar Hill, set up a cage, and left 2 traps (just in case).  The plan was to “lure” them in the cage with wet food and close the door.  After almost 3 weeks, it worked last Monday evening.  I retrieved the cats, the caging, and the traps on Wednesday.  I have placement for them in Red Oak in several weeks.    

The Blog will be suspended for a couple of week while I recover from some surgery.  There are barns and cats waiting, so hope to be “back in the saddle” soon. 

Thanks for following the Barn Cats Blog.          Peg
