            Denton            Tarrant

Calls You Don’t Want to Get:  Hoarder! Mid-week, Watauga Aniaml Services received a report of an elderly guy with lots of animals in his house. When they arrived at the premises, he let them in and said “take them all”. There were several dogs and 27 cats. They let him keep 3 cats which means 24 went to a very tiny shelter. They did not have enough caging for all these cats and put out the word for groups to take them. I could not stand to see these cats in small carriers for the long Labor Day weekend! We took 9 and Watauga AS actually delivered them here! Thanks to Nancy and Julie who helped set up extra caging for them in my family room. BUT – I failed to remember one important thing:  Hoarder cats always SMELL really badly! That is an understatement with these guys. He had litter boxes for them but kept them under his sofa. (Guess they stay clean if the cats cannot get to them!) None have ever seen a vet…so – will need to test, sterilize and give shots to all 9! Going to need extra monies for this adventure for sure! 

Bonham Cats:  We sterilized 2 additional coming from the Bonham shelter this week. 

Barns for Fall Placement:  I am finally able to take some locations off this list!!!!!
