Our Cats after Release:   

Nothing picked up this week.      

Calls/Emails:  Older Cats being removed from Apartment -- UPDATE

Received a call a Dallas location.  New management “wants the cats gone – NOW!”  The same person has been feeding them for about 10 years.  The good news is that there is a location that wants BIG CATS so will try and place them in their shed.  Hope this works out for the sake of the cats.  Will have an update next week. UPDATE:  The male cat did not like me…hiss, hiss.  So, I asked the person who has been caring for them for over 10 years to go along.  I put up a cage in a backyard under a cabana (with good fencing in the yard) and she helped with the relocation.  Sally and Steve went here.  Hope they do well!!!   

OMG:   Older Cat Does Not Look Good

I put 2 cats out 9 years ago in a barn in Highland Village.  The owners have sold the property and the new owners wanted to keep Sweet Pea.  The other cat is gone…???  The daughter of the former owners went over to feed Sweet Pea because the new owners are out of town.  She reported back to her mom that Sweet Pea “does not look good”.  She called me and I advised that she should take her to our vet and we will get her checked out and treated as needed.  She is still at the vet clinic…testing, etc. to be done on Monday.  Update next week!

BMG:  Disappointment

The very first groups I placed after Operation Kindness “changed their mind” was to Emory, TX.  Those cats came from Feral Friends.  I took 4 folding cages over to one of their volunteers along with litter boxes, carriers, feeders/waterers, etc.  Each time I call them they have no cats to place.  So, where is all that equipment?  IN A STORAGE SHED!   Well – not anymore…I got it back and gave it to the Dallas Cat Lady who is using the equipment I gave them.  I will remove FF from the list at the top of the BLOG next week.  BUMMER!  

TRANSITION UPDATE:   Winter items have gone out to DCL, Garland, and MCCC.  PCFCC will get their stuff later this coming week.  Things are moving slowly….wish it was just one group…would be much easier.
