3          Adoption Group (Mazie, 2 from North Carolina)

2          Barn in Forney (Tam, Benny)

3          Barn in Fairview (Franklin, Peter Pan, Captain Hook)

Our Cats after Release:

1.     Copper Canyon:  Mama Kitty and Happy went to this barn on the other side of Flower Mound.  They are going inside a wall for protection (and not using the hidey box prepared for them – Geez) but are still around and doing well. 

2.     Ponder:  Elmer and Shelby went to this barn.  Elmer has taken off but Shelby is still there are doing well.  You never know…

3.     Rockwall:  Merrell, Dude, and Clark were placed in a workshop in Rockwall.  They have not been seen but the food is disappearing – so all is well.  

4.     Ponder:  Linda, Lola, and Lottie went to a barn in Ponder just behind the house.  They have been spotted in the evening running between trailers on the property.  All are well.

5.     Haslet:  This workshop got Motley, a large torti.  She is friendly and doing well but has yet to leave the workshop.  She feels safe in the workshop, I guess. 

Bad Calls/Emails:  Feeder / Breeder

I have received several multiple-cat calls this week…”I just started feeding these cats because they were so hungry…now I have 20” – YES – that is what happens when you don’t spay/neuter.  We call that FEEDER – BREEDER!  You need to fully take care of a cat – not just feed it.  You will be sorry!   

BMG:   All Night Screamers

We have had a series of cats released to us that are ALL NIGHT SCREAMERS.  This is not a problem in a shelter situation – no people are there at night.  BUT – I am trying to sleep in the next room so this all night screaming is BAD!  I hope to get all of those problematic cats placed next week…then I can get some sleep.   

OMG:  Sophie and Nicole

These two friendly girls went to a barn in Argyle last Sunday.  Well, this week we had 100 to 107 degree days!   One of the things we recommend is to free a plastic water bottle and put them in the cages.  Sophie really got into it!    Take a look –
