Our Cats after Release:    The Oklahoma Cat Are Doing Well
Both PCFCC and GP have cats that we placed in Oklahoma.  They have both talked to the property owners and the cats are doing well.  They have asked to keep the caging for an extra week or two and that has been arranged.

Calls/Emails:  Many Calls from Out-of-State
One day, I received 3 calls from California…???  …and that mode has continued through the week.  Also, many call to release cats but only 1 that wants cats.   Unsure why this trend is upon us.   Wish it would pass.  SO MANY FERALS ARE DYING IN SHELTERS!!!!!!!1 

OMG:  Anna Catio
I went to Anna this week to take some extra sheets, towels, and beds.  The cats appear to be enjoying their outdoor area.  Also, they are no longer peeing on the beds, etc. inside but using the ground….good work!  The cat doors have been mounted in the windows and it is partially covered.  They seem to be enjoying the outdoors. 




BMG:  We Need Barns!!!
We are not getting very many barn calls…???  Yes – it is still hot in the daytime but in the 70’s at night so we need to get some placed.  I am planning on a fall fundraising letter to get more $$$ but also to remind barn owners we are still out here.   We are in process of updating the Facebook page and hope that will help.   Spread the word – we are still out here!
