Relocations and In Take
Our Cats after Release
Bad Calls/Emails:
Stop the Breeding
BMG (Bitch/Moan/Groan): Road Rage
OMG (Oh My God): UPDATE: Cats placed in Graham
FINALLY – A NEW VEHICLE!
Relocations and In Take: Placed 11 this week.
2 Barn in Flower Mound (Bev and Bob)
1 Adoption Group (Ducky)
8 Bonham Rescue
Our Cats after Release:
1. Pilot Point – Fergie and Freddy are having a great
time in Pilot Point. These guys
developed a diarrhea when first placed so I pick them up and treated them for 2
weeks. Now the diarrhea is gone and they
have a forever home in Pilot Point. They
continued to hiss at me but let the barn owner pick them up! This was the right place for them.
2. Dallas – 6 cats from Clifton, TX were placed at the
horse boarding/riding stable. The cats
are being elusive but the food is disappearing.
3. Tolar – Batman, Robyn, Oreo, and Bandit went to this
barn south of Granbury. They are seeing
one of them on a regular basis but lots of food is disappearing. I advised them to put up a game camera like
the barn owner in Graham.
4. Copper Canyon – King and Tom (2 friendlier cats) went
to live with this family just outside Lewisville. It is a workshop right in back of the house…and…THEY
PUT IN AIR CONDITIONING FOR THE CATS! OK
– great move! THANKS!
We put some cats at a
ranch in Frost, TX in the spring. She
sent pictures the other day. These cats
came from Commerce, TX I think. There
was also a torti but no picture of her.
Bad Calls/EMAILS:
Stop the Breeding
There are a bunch of cats
living in a storm drain in a community in the southern end of the Metroplex –
bet there are lots of storm drains with cats around Dallas/Fort Worth! The cats have been there long enough to have
kittens several times. How the caller
wants to get them out of there – all the kittens have died! I just hate these calls. She can get the vet work done for free
somewhere but has just never done it. I
told her (like I tell everyone this time of year), I can help you in September
but not now. Get them sterilized and STOP
THE BREEDING, continue to feed them, and I can take them in September. Wonder if she will do it….???
BMG: Road Rage
We
drove the new Chisholm Trail Parkway down to the Cleburne area. When I took the exit, there was a white truck
on the far side of the toll road which is 6 lanes at that point. I made the right hand turn and continued
west. When I looked in my mirror, all I
could see was the grill work on that white truck. Well, he took the phone number off our truck
and left a nasty message. “We need to
learn to drive. You cut me off. If I had been an 18-wheeler, you would be
dead now.” I know it was him by the time
stamp on the message when I got home. He
called later that night – up close and personal – to let me know he was still
pissed. You know – he needs some anger
manager classes or something. He was not
even close when I made that turn AND there were other cars in front of me. GO FIGURE!
OMG: UPDATE: Cats placed in
Graham
From last week: Poof, Pumpkin, Dana, and Jimmy were placed in
this barn in Graham. Only Jimmy is
making himself seen currently but I would be willing to bet the other 3 are
still around. We shall see…
UPDATE: The barn owner put out a game camera and YES
all three that she has not seen are still around. This is Poof, Pumpkin, and Dana. She is seeing Jimmy. BEST NEWS EVER! (love the butt shots)
The picture just above is of Jimmy
when at Barn Cats.
Finally – A NEW VEHICLE
I have been trying to purchase a new Ford Transit
Connect since July 4th. It
has been one thing after another with the “fleet” department. Finally a regular sales person took over and
we got the deal done. I left our first
transit connect at the dealership on Friday.
I miss it! But we will get the
new one next week after some adjustments are made. Then we will need to get it wrapped…another
struggle! This is the first TC!
Thanks for following the
Barn Cats Blog. See you all next
week. Peg
