Our Cats after Release:

1.     Roanoke:  Charlie, Charlene, Linny, and Sparkle went to this barn in Roanoke but are also visiting a neighbor’s barn.  Well – guess the food is better there…???   

2.     Alvarado:  Birdie Mae, Cora, Mae and Daisy Mae went to this horse boarding stable.  The torti took off immediately but the other two have settled right in and are killing rodents each and every day.   

3.     Glenrose:  Rachael, Randy, and Peaches went to this front deck in Glenrose.  All three cats have been spotted around the property and are coming each day to eat and drink.  

4.     Gunter:  Hanna, Midnight, and Mike went to this air-conditioned workshop in Gunter.  They are being illusive but the food is disappearing and lots of poop is being left in the litter box each day/night.  YEAH TEAM! 

Calls/Emails:  Cats from Louisiana – UPDATE!

Received 12 from Louisiana flood areas on Saturday.  I drove to Shreveport, met a guy at a PetsMart who came north, and we did a transfer into our carriers in their BREAK ROOM!  Thanks you, PetsMart!   It went amazing well and fast – we transferred 12 cats in less than an hour.  Only 2 of the cats were “problematic” – “I’m not going in there!”   THEN – I had to drive back to Dallas – about 3 ½ hours door to door, put the cats in cages that the volunteers had set up, and do all the paperwork.  It is all done and two of them have already gone out to Wylie.  YEAH!           

BMG:   Road Signs in the Country

Well, we have seen signs and mail boxes shot up, signs knocked down, and signs just missing all together.  But – this one is funny. 

OMG:  UPDATE:  Kiki and Benny & Tam

Benny and Tam went to a barn in Forney.  One of the guys who runs the stable called on Monday to say that they were GONE and they needed more cats.  I put them back on the schedule and planned on giving them some of the Louisiana flood cats.  BUT – on Thursday, Benny and Tam came home to their barn – YES!   

Kiki went from LVAS through Barn Cats as transport to an adoption group.  Kiki showed up at Dallas Animal Services this week.  Because she is chipped, Lewisville got the call, left me a message, and I worked with the adoption to get her “out of jail”.   That finally happened on Saturday.
