Relocations and In Take: I placed 0 (just too cold) with in-take at 3.
I have some barns waiting
for it to warm up or for friendly cats. Hope the weather warms up soon. I
HATE THE COLD! Give me a nice warm day
and night so the cats can be comfortable in their relocation cage.
I took in a cat from
Dallas Animal Services that has been caught in a BEAR TRAP! The last time I checked, Dallas does not
have any bears….but….some IDIOT has a bear trap. GEEZ!
December Closeout:
I placed 26 in December in 6
north Texas counties. I will do the 2012
closeout next week.

Our Cats after Release:
·
Mansfield: Originally put Tommy and Truman in that
heated workshop. THEN – the ranch
manager also took Avalanche, a white cat from the Tri-City Shelter. Well, Truman and Avalanche are “hanging”
together and Tommy has moved to the pool house. Looks like Tommy is a loaner. BUT
– it is a safe place and insulated.
·
Argyle: A lady named Jamie is moving out of
state. She had 2 feral cats that needed
to be relocated. A friend in Argyle
offered to take them. She has some big
caging in her backyard because she used to have 2 cougars – YES I SAID
COUGARS! Both have now passed away of
old age so the caging (really big with a top) was available for the relo. So, Jamie took over the first cat but she got
out like the first night or something – really quick. Cats can get out of a very small opening
under a fence or between the poles and the gate. Cat #1 – GONE! Yikes! So, we put up a cage in the garage and put cat #2 in there. We are now at week two and now CAT #1 has
been spotted coming in and out of the garage to “see her friend”. YEAH – this is great!
·
Lucas: Jackie is living large in a triple garage in
Lucas. She has her own “couch” and
heater. The kids love her and the rodents
are gone from the garage.
·
McKinney: Harley – OH MY GOSH! Harley has turned into a “love bunny” –
quote from barn owner. She follows her
around, get in her lap, and wants to be LOVED at any and every moment! Congrats, Harley!
·
Wolfe City: Batman and Molly – what beautiful black cats.
They came out to see me and wanted to be petted. The barn owners are pleased because they are
both staying in the barn and not venturing out over to the house. The 14-year-old barn cat is “adjusting” to
the new youngsters in his life.
·
Justin: Jackie and Jamie went to a barn in
Justin. It has a loft where they can
hang out – so did not see them…but the food keeps disappearing.

A guy in
Weatherford has about 15 cats that only 5 have been sterilized. He cannot afford to continue with the vet
work. Feral Friends still has a vet on
their list that is in Weatherford and I hope to work through them to get this
problem resolved!

Check this
out: Four months ago a lady purchased a
condo in Dallas. Two months ago she
adopted two cats (sisters) from a local rescue group or shelter. Before Christmas, she left and has not been
back! She left a patio door open enough
for the cats to get to the litter box on the patio. NOW – the cats have jumped from the patio and
gone to one of the neighbors – hungry and spooked! The neighbor took them in and started
calling from a list of no-kill groups and that is how they got to Barn
Cats. Tomorrow we will be off to get
them scanned for a microchip that will perhaps tell us what group they came
from originally. POOR KITTIES! Scared and alone!
I am not looking forward to the first
of the year…all the females are pregnant and kitten season will soon be upon us.
Remember:
A female cat can get pregnant while she is nursing a litter!
Thanks for following the
Barn Cat Blog. See you next week. Peg
