Well the folks keep calling to release cats but the barn calls are coming in slowly this fall. We placed only 4 cats this week in two barns. September was good with 58 total. October traditionally has been good – the weather cools off and the rats start running! But just today I added 18 cats on the waiting list! Geez!
There are now 28 people on the list – most with multiple cats. The feral cat problem in our area is getting worse with the worsening economy. When an opening comes, I am now taking folks from the August list.
Hopefully this week will be better. 6 cats for 2 barns on Tuesday and the potential for 4 others later in the week. Any week in double digits is good.
This too will resolve itself but I certainly enjoy delivering cats instead of telling folks I cannot take their cats for about 2 months.
If you know of anyone with a barn or other safe, outside area, please pass along our info!
