Our Cats after Release:
Rockwall – Peanut
Butter (cat with jar stuck on her head) – She is doing fine and has made fast
friends with Turtle, their resident cat.
Plano – Jackson
is now living in a backyard in Plano. He
has not killed any rats or mice yet BUT he is DEATH to any and all grasshoppers!
Calls You Don’t Want to Get:
1.
This is so weird! An elderly lady in Dallas called Barn Cats
because someone was trapping at her apartment complex and took away her pet cat
that was on her front porch. The “rescuer”
took the cats away (2 adults and 4 kittens) because the apartment management
did not want them there and was threatening to evict anyone who fed the
cats. Well I sent out some text messages
and made one phone call. AS LUCK WOULD
HAVE IT, the one phone call I made was to a person that had met that “rescuer”
at the SPCA of Texas Spay/Neuter Clinic and had taken the kittens into the
adoption groups that she ran. One of
which (orange boy) had been adopted last weekend. The two adults were taken to a barn in East
Texas after they were sterilized and one was pregnant. The pregnant one had belonged to the person
that had called me AND she is probably the cause of the cat problems in that
complex. She let that calico breed and
breed and then just released the kittens.
That cat is better off at a barn!

Argyle Update:
This is the situation with the elderly guy is suppose to have 75 to 100
cats on his property and can no longer afford to feed them. (ME NEITHER!
That is a lot of cats!) I took a
neighbor 4 traps on Sunday 8/18/13 and also left some food. The Panther City organization out of Fort
Worth is supposed to be organizing trapping, sterilization, and transport for
these cats. I had not had an update. I know they wanted to use TCAP in Denton for
the vet work but don’t know if they could handle that many cats at a time,
etc. A clinic in Flower Mound said they
could do 5 a week. Now, with our 4
traps, they can at least get that process started. More later…
BMG: The Durant location for the Oklahoma Spay Network sent
out a letter this week. This is where
the Bonham folks have been taking their female cats for a $25 spay/rabies
shot. WELL – They are discontinuing
their work with any rescue groups from North Texas. This is not something new: it has been going on since 2009. We started supporting the Bonham folks in
2012. This is a tragic loss!
OMG: Over a year ago, I received a call from the Ellis
County SPCA. They wanted to know if I
had given any cats to a lady named Michelle Lehman in their area. I was not familiar with her. The guy on the phone said she had been taking
cats and dogs out of their shelter under the name of an adoption group in the
mid-cities (I cannot remember which one).
She had their 501C-3 info and everything. BUT – I called that group and they did not
know her either. This week she was
convicted of animal abuse in Ellis County with 82 animals on the property (48
dogs and 34 cats) living in horrific conditions. 67 had to be euthanized. Hope they lock her up and throw away the key!
Thanks for following the
Barn Cats blog. See you next week! Peg
