Our Cats after Release:   Picked up in 1 location this week.
Poolville – Fran, Frankie, and Faith were placed in this garage/workshop in Parker County.  We picked up equipment on Thursday in between rain storms and floods.  They are doing great. 

May Closeout
We placed 46 which is WAY DOWN from May, 2014 which was 56.  Totals are down from last year as well – 331 to 266.  65 placements down from last year at this time.  Going to blame this on the terrible weather with all the rain, washed out roads/bridges, and mud!  BUMMER!
Hope June is better!  Placements were in 7 North Texas counties.

Bad Calls/EMAILS:  Kittens Everywhere
People just start calling anybody that they think might take their kittens.  They don’t think about where we put our adult cats…IN THE COUNTRY.  The hawks carry kittens off in the daytime and the owls at night.  People:  It is much easier to have the cat spayed that to multiple your problem with a batch of kittens.  Sorry – we cannot help you with this one.     

BMG:  Bad Eye
We have had a cat Frankie for about 2 months.  He immediately got an upper respiratory infection that took 2 Convenia shots to revolve.  Saturday he developed an eye infection and the eye had to be removed.  I check everybody each day and he was OK on Friday but this was HORRIBLE on Saturday morning.  Dr. Jim at All Care removed the eye and I will get him home on Monday.  He had been caged so this has to be an internal medical problem…???


OMG:  Houdini Update
Houdini is a large orange tabby we placed in Lucas.  He came home with a damaged back leg that had to be removed.  How he is back in the barn and climbing on top of the horse stalls.  YOU GO, HOUDINI! 

Auction Preview – Great Dog Art
I know this is a cat charity but we attract some dog people and also those do both.  SO …  These are well done, I think. 



                                           
“Thanks” for following the Barn Cats Blog.  See you all next week.      Peg
