The above location in
Southlake built a really cool cat shelter.
It is surrounded by a dog kennel for additional protection and is right
behind the house.
Our Cats after Release: Picked
up in 2 locations this week. We are
still delayed by bad weather.
1.
Copper Canyon –
Greta, Grayson, Gavin, Ginger, and Glenda were put in the barn near Lake
Lewisville. I saw two of them but they
ran off before I could get a picture.
Each morning they are in their kitty condo, all comfy!
2.
Copper Canyon – Moxie,
Misty, and Beau went to this barn behind the house in Copper Canyon. I did not see them but the owner says they
are all three still there. GOOD!
3.
Ennis – Teddy went
to this home in Ennis. He is doing well –
hiding under the house! Good for
him!
Funny Stuff
Saw this in Key West…Wish
I had one!
Bad Calls/EMAILS:
Wants 54 Cats Removed before May 31st
Sure – no problem! Received an email TODAY – SUNDAY May 24 and
the person wants to relo 54 cats before she leaves on May 31st. ARE YOU KIDDING! I took 54 from New Orleans following Katrina
over 6 months NOT ONE WEEK! WOW and
when I called her it went directly into voice mail. PLUS – she did not call – she sent an
email! When there is a large number of
cats, I take 2 or 3 a week until the problem is resolved. I probably will not be able to help any of
these cats because it is just too late.
I hate people!
BMG: Rescue???
Love
it when someone calls from a business and expects you to “rush right over” and
trap these cats. She wanted me to call
her Operations Department but most do not speak English. Hummmmm!
Just like Animal Services and other groups, we loan traps but we do not
trap or have volunteers that trap. You
are a business with employees. We are a
non-profit with all volunteers. Sorry
for these cats – they will probably end up dumped somewhere by a “pest removal
company”. People think we are a big
place with lots of employees….6 volunteers and two rooms at the back of my
house. They don’t understand rescue and
were really not interested in me telling them how it really works.
OMG: Turtles in the Road
When it rains, the turtles
are out trying to cross roads and being hit by cars. I always stop if at all possible and move it
to the side it is headed toward. Never
move it BACK – it will just try and cross the road again. I saw that once! ALSO – hold the turtle way out in front of
you. They usually pee when picked
up. YES – I know this but still had my
left pant leg saturated by turtle pee on Saturday. Oh well – just toss the pants into the
washing machine!
Auction Preview – Live Auction
I have got to figure out
which items will be on the Live Auction.
I like to hold it to 7 when is sometimes a problem. I think I will do all one-of-a-kind items
this year and things that cannot be replaced.
I purchased 3 bottles of wine when we went to Wichita Falls last
fall. Well – I called the winery this
week and all three are now…
1.
Award-winning
wines
2.
No longer being
produced
3.
Have tripled in
price even if you could find them.
Also, this large wall
hanging shaped like Texas and made of expired license plates. Definitely one-of-a-kind!
“Thanks” for following the
Barn Cats Blog. See you all next
week. Peg
