Seeking someone to take over Barn Cats, Inc.:  I would like to officially retire as Executive Director in 2019.  I can retain the fundraising pieces but would like to stop the relocations, equipment pickups, phone calls, and emails…the day-to-day stuff.  I will be available for consultation.  If interested call or email Barn Cats…972-315-2875 info@barncats.org

4          Air Conditioned Kennel in Fort Worth (Garbo, Aster, Bronx, Doris)
5          Adoption Group (Jasmine, Lucy, Cleo, Cindy, Panda)

Our Cats after Release:    
1.     Paris (TX not France):  Terrance, Emmie, and Tony went to this garage.  They are all still around, eating and using the litter box.  A large DEAD RAT was found on a piece of equipment in their barn.  It had teeth marks in its neck.  Cats are working!   
2.     Justin:  Mama Kitty, Cam, and Kiz went to this shed with a large motor home.  All have been seen going in and out of the shed window.  GOOD STUFF!  …and the rat poop is gone!    

Calls/Emails:  NO INTERNET AND PHONE! 
Got up on Saturday morning to a dead router that will not reconnect.  GEEZ!  Of course, I called Frontier but someone is going to have to come out.  You don’t realize how much you use it until you don’t have it:  call the remote number to check phone messages; cannot go to MapQuest to look up an address for a relo; no TV; cannot pay bills online; etc.  I am getting a lot of junky stuff done – filing, database updates, and cleaning equipment – but it certainly is boring.  Went to Neighbor Nancy’s house last night to watch TV and have a martini – well there are “some” good things!  

BMG:   Upper Respiratory Infection
Everybody is seeing the URIs this month.  The SPCA has had an outbreak and the Lewisville shelter seems to always be having it.  I am holding a nice cat “Junior” that had a Convenia shot over a week ago but is still sneezing.  I will get him a second shot this week and get him placed.  He will be going indoor to Quinlan. 

OMG:  Turtle with a Cracked Shell
POOR TURTLES!  All they want to do is get across the road but someone always seems to hit them.  I always stop to get them from the road if I can.  This one had a cracked shell and was up-side-down.  There was blood on the concrete and it was still fresh.  I put him to the side and turned him over.  Maybe he was not dead and will recover.  I can just hope for the best.        

Thanks for following the Barn Cats Blog.            Peg
