TRANSITION UPDATE

Relocations:   I placed 6 this week.  .   
6          Barn in Wylie (4 from DCL, 2 from GP) 

Our Cats after Release:   I picked up Bartonville.  Cleve was placed there.  He does not like other cats and the property owner only would take 1.  He is doing well.  They have put in a cat door about 4 feet off the ground to give him in and out capability.   Hope it works out for him.      

Calls/Emails:  Bad Situation for a Friendly Cat in Lancaster
Received a call from a lady who was having to put her father in an assisted living facility.  A friendly cat had shown up there many months before and now would be abandoned.  Also, the daughter has a terminal illness.  His name is Meow-Meow and is a brown tabby.  I told her I would take him but she would have to deliver him to the vet we use in Coppell.  She did that on Monday.  He tested negative and now is loose in my house waiting for an opening at Petco.  Glad I could help – the cat deserves it!  

OMG:  People Don’t Listen
I tell people to all PetsMart and Petco locations and ask a manager when adoption groups come there each Saturday and Sunday.   THEN GO THERE WHEN THE GROUPS ARE THERE.   Well, this person went there in the middle of the week and – SURPRISE – there were no groups there.  They are there on the weekend – not mid-week when everyone is working. 

BMG:  More Bad Weather
Last week on Sunday it was severe winds that caused power outages all over the DFW area.  I was meeting the PCFCC folks in Tioga to pick up equipment.   This Sunday afternoon I was in Wylie with 6 cats.  When I was just starting my drive home, the cell went off for a severe weather alert.  The problems were in Carrollton/Farmer’s Branch and I could see them as I approached that area on the Bush toll road.  SO – looked lighter to the north, so I took the Dallas North Tollway to the Rayburn then headed west.  Then the rains started.  I exited off the freeway and hid under a cover area at a bank site.  There was someone else there too.  I waited until the rains calmed down some then headed home.  I got there safe and sound but the rains continued at my home complete with lighting and thunder.  BUT – all is well. 

TRANSITION UPDATE:  I left my final message for The Feral Cat Ranch mid-week.   No response.  I am done.
