Calls/Emails:   Cat at Garland Animal Services

I received a call from GAS about a friendly cat that has a microchip registered to Barn Cats…???  Picked her up on Thursday when I was coming back from Emory.  She does not look familiar…so…don’t know.  I got her shots updated and combo tested and she is now with an adoption group in the Lewisville area.  She will do well, for sure. 

                                   

BMG:   The Return of Kevin

Kevin was trapped at the old Valley View mall area that is now under re-development.  This was last year in March.  I put him with Miss Kitty in a garage in Balch Springs.  Well, Kiss Kitty is now roaming the neighborhood and not staying in the garage.  Kevin “wormed his way” into the house via the elderly mom that lives with the family.   BUT – they need outside cats not inside.  When I took Whitey, Blackie, and Cathy to Batch Springs on Tuesday, I got Kevin back.  He is now with an adoption group since he really in a house cat, for sure.  GOOD JOB, KEVIN! 

 

OMG:  Big Caging in Emory

I delivered 6 cats to Emory in East Texas on Thursday this week.  They have a great cage set up for the relocation so I did not have to leave anything but the cats.  Also there is a cat door in the wall.  Great place for these kids.  5 came in together and I added Margie to the mix.  Great opportunity for them!  Take a look…

 

Picture from Quinlan Last Week

I could not get this picture to flow last week.  This is Looper, Winter, and Mystery in their barn in Quinlan.  They found a great place to hide. 

Weather Has Changed

FINALLY – The trees are blooming and the grass is getting green again.  Thank You, Jesus!

Elder Care Center Shed:  Update each week!   

The sheet rock went up this week in Anna.  Work has also begun on the skirting outside to keep critters from getting under it and eating wiring, etc.  I am picking up the tile for the floors on Thursday this week.  I will have inside pictures next Sunday when I do the BLOG. 

Thanks for following the Barn Cats Blog.            Peg
