Relocations and In Take

Our Cats after Release

Phone Calls/Emails You Don’t Want to Get

Relocations and In Take:   9 this week with intake at 3: 

            3          Bonham Rescue

            3          Adoption Group

            1          Barn in Southern California – WHAT?  (Ava)

            2          Barn in Midlothian (Connie and Sophie)

I guy called from Mansfield. I put 3 cats with him in Mansfield in the fall of last year and all are still around. His employer wants a friendly, single barn cat for their barn in Southern California. OK – I got one!  He was driving to California (straight through – ouch) on Saturday. He has a big dog crate for the cat, a litter box, bed, feeder/water cups….so….why not? Now Ava is a “valley girl”. I emailed the person that gave her to me and he was pleased with this option.                                       

Way to go, Ava!

Our Cats after Release:             

·         No equipment picked up this week BUT I did get an email from the warehouse that took Mama, Moose, and Mr. T.  Mr. T had RUN OUT the first minute given the chance but had been seen around the property. He has now moved into the warehouse and is doing fine.   YEAH!    Mama and Moose are in the office (answering phones, I think).

·         YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS:  Someone in HOUSTON placed 4 to 6 cats (cannot really tell from her note) with a friend in a barn in Plano. Last time I looked, there are not any or many barns in Plano – wonder if it is Parker…but…  She left them a month’s worth of food and later sent them $150. Hummm – looks like she is still “supporting” these cats. NOW the barn owner (her friend) has run into some financial problems (dog has cancer) and no longer wants to keep these cats….AND….calls them HER CATS! OK – she is 250 miles away and unsure what to do now. I really don’t know what to tell her either. They would need to be re-trapped and re-tested because they have been outside. AND – unsure about this – but I would guess that the barn owner will not help with any of these tasks. More later on this one…  

Thanks for following the Barn Cats blog.  See you next week!           Peg
