Barn Cats Bash Update:
The event was held at Grotto
in Highland Village. We had 76 folks
attend…10 more than last year and lots of “new blood”. The Chef’s Dinner donated by Chef Salerno
from Grotto went for $1,000! It is a
specially prepared dinner for 8 with wine that is held at the restaurant based
on the scheduled of your 8 attendees.
Everyone had a good time. We
grossed a little over $9,000 – best ever for Barn Cats!
Our Cats after Release:
Alvarado – Placed
Reece in a garage in Alvarado. He is
doing GREAT and is “killing stuff” each day – earning his keep!
Rhome – Peaches
and Coconut went to this barn. The
short-haired one was seen early that day but lots of food is disappearing. SO – we hope for the best.
Sanger – Lisa,
Anna, and Jerry were placed here. I did
not see them but the family has seen “signs” that they are still around.
Sachse – This is
a back porch with a shed next to it. Marina
and Martin were placed here and originally came to Barn Cats from Frisco.They are doing great! Marina is sleeping in a large broken pot that
lays on its side – one of those decorative pot things. You can see her cat hair around the edges of
the broken area. She pops her head out
of there some mornings to say “Hi” as the homeowner is drinking her
coffee.
Melissa – 4
friendly cats (Ava, Bruce, Pepper, Baxter) went to this garage/backyard. We saw Ava and Baxter when we picked up
equipment on Thursday. I have some
pictures that I will try and get posted next week.
Phone Calls/Emails You Don’t Want to Get:
A neighbor of a
lady in Irving called on the weekend. She
has too many cats/kittens and someone else in the area is poisoning them! That is illegal but you have to catch them in
the act! I have alerted rescue folks in
the area to see if they can capture them and get the vet work done. It is 10 to 12 adults and about 15
kittens. We do not take kittens – they
get carried off by hawks and owls in a farm environment…but…we can help with
the adults. She has had all but 3
sterilized but they will need to be tested and rabies/distemper shots
updated. We shall see...
BMG:
It is funny…not
really…but folks call me “worried” about a colony they feed so I offer to take
them after shots, etc. are updated, then…nothing! Hey –
I do not have openings all the time.
When I say “get the cats done” – get moving, people. When you “get around to it”, I may not have
room and then you will be mad at me. Problem with this is that the cats suffer because of their caregivers. Geez!
Coming up to another BIG
WEEK – 7 on Monday and 8 yet to be scheduled. There are also a couple of barns wanting 2 or 3 – so, lots going on this
week. Equipment pickup will be intense
as well with Weatherford, Annetta, Royse City, and Sanger – at least the first
two are in the same COUNTY!
Thanks for following the
Barn Cats blog. See you next week! Peg
