Our Cats after Release:    Oklahoma Cats

All 7 cats are doing well.   The equipment was picked up this weekend.  The property owners asked to keep the caging longer that usually required – if it makes the relocations better, OK!  

Calls/Emails:  Requests to take in Cats

I am referring to the groups above based on where the cats are located.  I hope this is working out…I have not had repeat calls so think this is OK. 

OMG:  Vacation Schedule

I am leaving town 11/20 returning on 12/13.  I am trying to figure out how the handle my cats here because security is tight.  A vet tech from All Care does not live far but then she may have a problem getting into my unit each day.  She would have to come to the concierge, check in, and then have someone walk her to my apartment.  BUT – she is a vet tech and could give the cats their monthly B-12 shots and daily pills with no problem.  I could put caging up at a friend’s house BUT then getting shots and pills could be a problem.  I don’t know what to do.  I always thing living them in their home where they are comfortable would be the best answer.  Tis a puzzlement…as the King used to say!  

BMG:  FINALLY – COOLER WEATHER!

The temps have finally dropped and the RATS ARE RUNNING!   Got one barn call this week and passed along to GNB for placement next weekend.   This will be for 3 ferals.
