Our Cats after Release:
1. Van Alstyne: Mulligan and Jones went to this location
where I saw a rat running along the edge of the workshop. WELL – no more rats! The boys are doing their job and the
property owner is very pleased. He has
not seen them but there are rodent “parts” left as proof. HA HA!
2. Cedar Hill: Tommy and Goldie went to this horse riding
stable. The litter boxes are used and
the rats are gone. GOOD JOB!
3. Aubrey: Mary and Paula went to this horse riding
stable. The property has a concession stand
and they are living underneath. Must be
rodents there. Get ‘um girls!
Calls/Emails: Injured
Cat in Mineola - UPDATE
I
help someone with cats many, many years ago.
She is now living in Mineola, TX.
That is “not” close by. HOWEVER,
it is close to Emory, TX where I have had a request for 6 cats. I will be taking 6 from Feral Friends to
Emory hopefully next week. Then, I will
get this injured cat from the vet clinic and give it to an adoption group
here. A neighbor’s dog chased it into the
street and it was hit by a car. The good
news is that the driver took the cat to a vet clinic where it is healing. Hope this works out…!!! UPDATE: Picking up that cat on Monday after I
deliver cats to Emory. He has tested
negative and been given rabies and distemper shots. I just need to get him neutered after he is
back here. It would have been about
$250 to get him neutered at that local vet clinic. You know:
People always think things are cheaper living in a small town – NOT!
BMG: The Big Clean - UPDATE
We
have begun to clean and take down caging in both cat rooms. There are currently just 3 in there plus 2
together in a triple cage in my family room.
Those 2 are going out on Monday.
The volunteers have taken down 14 cages.
I will begin to distribute those cages to groups that will be doing some
barning. I have already begun to do
“referrals”. I hope to get all 5
remaining cats out next week. BUT – 2
were going to a barn in Red Oak but there was a death in their family and they
are now out of town. Hope they return
early next week so I can get out there with Blaze and Glenna. Keep your paws crossed! UPDATE: Well, that Red Oak barn cancelled on
Friday. I put out Blaze and Glenna in an
Argyle location. The bad news is that I
took in two other cats for Red Oak and now it is gone! Now what? The cats are in relocation cages in my family room so we can continue to clean.
OMG: Lewisville Animal Services – CONCERN!
When
I needed cats for the Red Oak location (then she cancelled), but I contacted
several groups and shelters to see about getting 2 cats for that location. I called LVAS because I had not heard from
them in a while. Their director took a
different job and the assistant is now “in change”. She has been a problem in the past –
cancelled the spay/neuter of ferals when the director was on vacation. I was about to challenge that with the City
Council when the director returned and reversed her decision. I don’t know what she has AGAINT feral cats –
but this is serious. I ran the numbers
and I have taken 46 from them since the first of the year but only 1 in the
last month – BECAUSE they have not called me because they are no longer
spaying/neutering. More next week…
