Our Cats after Release: 
1.      Weatherford:  It has been many years since I have been to Jackie’s barn in Weatherford.   I put 2 there before but now they have moved on.  I am glad she called me again.  Alex and Carlos will be happy there.
2.      Northlake:  This property is a new purchase for the owners from Missouri.  The barn is clean and well-kept with great fencing around the entire area.  Kojack and Danali were immediately out of their hidey boxes and pacing in the cage….a good sign…they smell those mice! 
3.      Sachse:  Rusty was placed there last year in August.  His “friend” took off and he has been lonely ever since.  Lucy will keep him company now. 
                                                                                                                                               
Calls You Don’t Want to Get:  Follow-UP: Got the cats in Ellis County on Tuesday and got them into an adoption group on Friday.  They are really nice cats!  Now they will have safe, in-door homes!

Informational:   One barn owner is concerned that her cats will get the same virus that is killing the exotic BIG CATS at the Wylie sanctuary – In-sync Exotics.  Well – that is CANINE DISTEMPER – not FELINE DISTEMPER.  All the cats from Barn Cats have had an FVRCP shot – that is the preventive for feline distemper.  See below from their website:   

Our cats have been diagnosed with Canine Distemper Virus (CDV), and the diagnosis has been confirmed with blood tests. This virus can affect canines, but also animals in the weasel family (including ferrets), raccoons and the Panthera cats (lions, tigers, leopard and jaguars). We have been told that other felines cannot get this virus, so our cheetahs, cougars, bobcats, lynx, servals and ocelot should be safe from infection.”      http://www.insyncexotics.com/

OMG:   We have put out lots of cats over the last 3 weeks.  Now it is time to start picking up all that equipment after the cats have been released.  Most of the relocations have been 1 or 2 – not 4 or 5 at a time which means there are many, many places to re-visit.  THEN – all that dirty equipment has to be cleaned.  We take it to a car wash.  THANKS to Jamie for that suggestion several years ago. 

Unusual Mail Boxes:   Both of these boxes were on the same street in Anna, TX.  Take a look…
