FINALLY – it is cooling
off and we can get some cats placed. 17
is a really good week...but notice, it is all in two’s except for the adoption
group that was for 3. That is a lot of
driving around.
Our Cats after Release: Had no
out-standing equipment so have no update on cats after release.
Calls You Don’t Want to Get: A guy called me from East
Dallas. His mom passed away suddenly, he
lived with her, and now is about to be evicted.
She had a REVERSE MORTGAGE.
WHAT? Your son (no job, does not
drive, has no friends and lives with you) has no income and you get a REVERSE
MORTGAGE with no way he can repay the bank.
HOW SHORT SIGHTED IS THAT! People
need to look at the BIG PICTURE with these mortgages. If there is someone dependent on you (for
whatever reason – see OMG below), then how can they possibly repay that
mortgage. He has no income and the
utilities are about to be cut off. Glad
I could help him with the cats. I took 5
out of 8 – and all 5 have been placed.
He has no carriers or way to get them to me or any other adoption
group. I drove into East Dallas to take
him carriers and he was able to pack up those 5 cats right away…GREAT! I now need to go back and leave him 3
additional carriers.
BMG: PEOPLE: You
cannot continue to leave messages sitting on your phone. The box fills up. You leave me a message, I call back, but then
cannot leave you a message. WAKE
UP! If your mailbox is full, you should
not be leaving messages for other people who DO KEEP THEIR BOX EMPTY! Then you call me back and are MAD because I
have not returned your call. AHHHHHH!
OMG: I understand that formally there was a “stigma” attached to the family if they
had a mentally challenged child. BUT –
those days are over. That child needs to
be self-sufficient because you are not going to live forever. Group homes are the answer and I have personally
seen that WORK in two or three cases.
Also, it should not be the responsibility of other siblings to TAKE IN
that child when you die. Get him/her
somewhere where there are other similar people…they now have friends and get
jobs. They can LIVE – not be “protected”
by a well-being but misguided parent.
Thanks for following the
Barn Cats blog. See you next week! Peg
