Cats after Release: 

1.      Wylie – Mayor and Beatrix have  been spotted on the property but are being illusive.  SO – they asked for 2 additional and Ivy and Sugar went there.

2.      Corinth – Linda and Lulu went to this backyard in Corinth.  The husband built the cedar A-Frame “designer” cat house for them.  WOW! 

The house has steps going up and place for a waterer, food bowl and litter box on the first level.  There are two holes in the front:  lower hole goes in with access to level 2; upper hole goes to level 3.  Level 2 is accessible from the back of the unit.  The girls are enjoying their penthouse in the sky!                                                                   

Calls/EMAILS You Don’t Want to Get:  There are 8 cats at a school location somewhere in the Dallas area.  These 8 cats have been carried for by teachers and staff for several years.  Now a new janitor wants them gone.  One of the teachers is working with Dallas Cat Ladies to get them re-captured (all are spayed/neutered), get them tested and shots updated for Barn Cats.  It has been a slow go because it is raining this week….but hope to get them all in-house and then placed next week. 

BMG:   I have a Square (iPhone attachment for using credit cards) that we use for donations primarily at events.  A person delivering cats asked if she could charge a donation so I got it out.  I have not used it since the June Barn Cat Bash.  WELL – NO WORKIE!   Discovered that I needed to update the operating system on my iPhone – WHAT A MESS!   It took several hours and then I discovered on Saturday that I was not getting any voicemail messages.  ALL THAT TROUBLE and the SQUARE still does not work.  Plan B:  ?????  

OMG:  (no entry this week)                             

Halloween Blowups:  Well, it is hard to miss my house these days.  THE CATS ARE OUT!  Many Thanks to volunteers Nancy, Julie, and Heather for getting them set up in the front yard on Saturday.  The trick-or-treat kids love them!
