Cats after Release:      

·         Sherman – Gina and Gracie are doing fine in Sherman but are not seen much.  As long as they are doing their job…

·         Windom – TJ, Moony, and Sunny are all hanging around.  One of them keeps going out at night….bad move!   Hope he gets the point and begins to stay in when the sun goes down.

·         Sanger – All 5 of these siblings are hanging around the shop. 

·         Aledo – Zoe and Mindy are living off the patio in Aledo.  The family does not see them much but they are eating and using the litter box. 

·         McKinney – This heated garage was perfect for Tom and Brodie. They have made themselves at home between the garage and workshop that are both heated.  All is well in McKinney! 

·         Flower Mound – Buddy is “ruling the roost” in his garage home.  He was “instant” friends with their dog, Austin.  He rolls on his back to “play” and even walks between the dog’s legs.

Calls/EMAILS You Don’t Want to Get:  Got two out of three cats from Weatherford this week.  BUT – I picked them up because I was in Mineral Wells and Aledo.  Notice how 2 suddenly became 3.  AND – I really wonder if any of these 3 are part of the original 6 she discussed with me.  HUMMM!          

BMG:   A lady called All Care with an injured neighborhood cat that is friendly. He had an open wound on one of his legs.  She asked if she could bring him to the clinic, get this checked out, returning him to the neighborhood, and work out a payment plan with Barn Cats.  The clinic called me and I said OK – but want him tested first.  She brought him in on Friday but failed to pick him up on Saturday.  “The property owners do not want him back” she said – WHAT?  This is like the old bait and switch routine.  NOW – stuck with another cat.  I guess I will have to be more careful next time…make people WAIT while the cat is treated and take him home then.   

OMG:  Well Christmas is upon us and then New Years is just around the corner!   Barn Cats has had our best year ever…I will give everyone the yearly stats when I return in mid-January.  TAKE CARE and FEED A STRAY FOR CHRISTMAS!     

Thanks for following the Barn Cats blog.  See you next year!           Peg
