Relocations and In
Take: We had
22 placements this week.
11 Adoption
Groups (Opie, Sammy, Chelsea, Lucy, Alfa, Jack, Princess,
Rory, Blue Bonnet, Leo, Teddi) 10 Multi-Barn Complex in Justin (Sassy, Zimmy, Tinsel, Jingles, Piglet, Charlie, Fready Cat, April, Samantha, Poppy)
1 Back
Porch and Barn in Argyle (Bo)
Teddi
is not adjusting well at her foster home.
I may get her back….hope not…but you never know. It took her many weeks to adjust here.
All
our cats going out these cold days/nights are getting winter hidey boxes, rugs,
blankets to cover the cages, and either a heater or a heat lamp.
Our Cats after Release:
1. Frisco: Amelia caught her first mouse on Friday
night. ALL GOOD!
2. Prosper: Three out of a group of four cats from a
group were placed here in December.
Unfortunately the 4th cat has eluded capture. Captain Jack, Tootie, and Linda Sue are doing
very well and the rats are gone.
HOWEVER, the barn owner does not want to disrupt the three to try and
re-introduce the 4th cat. SO
-- Dahlia will have to remain in the backyard where they came from. Sorry, Dahlia! This is a great barn!
Bad Calls/EMAILS: Saturday Night Call
from Pennsylvania
This
is so confusing – will try and explain.
First she did not tell me she was from Pennsylvania but the accent gave
her away…so I asked. She had put a
semi-feral cat in a horse boarding barn and was now having second
thoughts. Well – she did not put Cali in
a cage or lock her in a shed or tack room but spend 4 hours sitting with her at
the barn. Now the cat is hiding in a
wall. Well no surprise here. She does not know horses, etc. I really could not find out from her about
what she wanted me to do from Texas…???
She just talked and talked and talked.
I had to yell at her to get her to stop and then she would interrupt me
when I started talking again. Then she
said her other cat had gotten sick and was diagnosed with leukemia when she
took her to a vet. NOW – we have a cat
that has been relocated to a barn with other cats who has now been EXPOSED to
feline leukemia! OH BROTHER! I really could not make her understand how
bad this is. She just talked and talked
and talked…but said very little.
Finally, my phone started beeping cause I was running out of battery
power. MY OUT! ….so I took it. BUMMER!
Don’t think this was any kind of a positive call and now we are facing
the spread of feline leukemia. OH!!!!
BMG: 16-Year-Old Cat
Received
a contact from what sounded like a young woman trying to find a place for her
16-year-old cat. CANNOT BELIEVE IT! I think she was just tired of taking care of
the cat…don’t know! But, told her no adoption group will take a
cat that old even if it is in good health.
People want a cat they can enjoy for many years – not an elderly
cat. She needs to find a “senior” person
to take the “senior” cat. Hope she will
call independent living places to try and find a home for the cat. BUT…
OMG: Heartworm Positive
Cat
All
our cats are combo tested…Feline Leukemia, FIV, and heartworm. This week I received a cat that tested
positive for heartworm. There is no
treatment for heartworm in cats like there is for dogs. I will just place her with the others and
hope for the best.
Here's a good read to show you what happens to every last one of these relocated invasive-species disease-infested vermin feral-cats that people dump-off on farms and in other rural areas in ANY location of North America. (And, as I recently discovered; in Canada, the UK, and probably worldwide -- they'd be fools not to.)

All you are doing is adding to the cat-shooting quotas of everyone who lives rural. What a nice waste of your money and time. I personally shot and buried literally hundreds of these invasive-species vermin cats to stop them from gutting-alive and skinning-alive the last of the native wildlife on my lands. Cats that pavement-brained fools adopted-out from "humane" barn-cat programs. Many hunting-forums even pass along contact information of any new "barn cat programs" -- for free delivery of FREE practice-targets between hunting seasons. I don't condone this, because if they miss then I have to shoot them myself when they wander into my own lands. "Hello? Yes, I have a bad rodent problem out here in the country. Can you bring out about 6 of your cats? Thanks!" (A week later: BANG! BANG! Dāmņ, missed one. BANG! BANG! BANG!) Your cats are "valuable", alright. But not in any way that you might ever think.
Cats that are relocated NEVER stay where they have been dumped. This is why you read reports of cats trying to get back to their points of origin hundreds of miles away. All the while senselessly destroying countless numbers of valuable native wildlife in their wake by torturing animals to death for their hourly play-toys. People in rural areas have enough of their own problem keeping these disease-infested vermin in check by shooting every stray cat they see (if only to protect their own animals and cats from the 3dozen+ deadly zoonotic diseases these free-roaming pestilent vermin cats carry).
You needn't go adding to everyone's weekly cat-shooting-quotas by releasing more of these pestilent vermin. "Cute" they are not. They ALL need to be destroyed. There are dozens of native predator species that are MUCH better suited for rodent control. Ones that eat rodents only and don't destroy everything that moves, like cats do. There's a good reason one species was even named the Barn-Owl, another the Rat-Snake. Gray-Fox being another excellent mouser, they don't even have European fowl on their menus and will even climb trees to keep squirrel populations in check. Even the 1.75-inch Masked-Shrew, a David & Goliath success story, evolved a poisonous bite specifically for preying on rodents right where they breed. Even the scent of these miniature marvels being around drives away rodents. But what do their cats do? They destroy these most beneficial of all rodent predators the very first chance they get.
Cat-lickers (criminally irresponsible cat-hoarders) need to become responsible stewards of this planet by getting at least a high-school level of education in matters of ecology and biology so the rest of us don't have to teach you a valuable lesson by shooting and burying every last one of your invasive species vermin cats for you.
Those cats need to be tested for ALL of the following diseases; or I hope the recipient sues you so deep that you never recover from it for the rest of your criminally negligent and criminally irresponsible sorry-excuses for lives.
ReplyDeleteThese are just the diseases these invasive species vermin cats have been spreading to humans, not counting the ones they spread to all wildlife. THERE ARE NO VACCINES against many of these, and are in-fact listed as bio-terrorism agents. They include: Afipia felis, Anthrax, Bartonella (Rochalimaea) henselae (Cat-Scratch Disease), Bergeyella (Weeksella) zoohelcum, Campylobacter Infection, Chlamydia psittaci (feline strain), Cowpox, Coxiella burnetti Infection (Q fever), Cryptosporidium Infection, Cutaneous larva migrans, Dermatophytosis, Dipylidium Infection (tapeworm), Hookworm Infection, Leptospira Infection, Giardia, Neisseria canis, Pasteurella multocida, Plague, Poxvirus, Rabies, Rickettsia felis, Ringworm, Salmonella Infection, Scabies, Sporothrix schenckii, Toxocara Infection, Toxoplasmosis, Trichinosis, Visceral larva migrans, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. [Centers for Disease Control, July 2010] Bird-flu, Bovine Tuberculosis, Sarcosporidiosis, Flea-borne Typhus, Tularemia, and Rat-Bite Fever can now also be added to that list.
Any of those cats taken from outdoors that you want to put-up for adoption, without knowing their vaccination history since birth nor what exposure they've had to any diseases while unsupervised, really need to be accompanied by this disclaimer and have it signed by the adopter:
WARNING: This cat may be harboring rabies that will be discovered up to 11 months from now, in rare cases up to 6 years. (It also wasn't tested for any other of the 3dozen+ zoonotic diseases cats spread to all other animals and humans today. Many of these diseases being deadly, some even listed as bio-terrorism agents for not having vaccines available for them. It was not tested because we don't care if you nor any other of your family-pets contract any of these diseases.) Keep in mind that giving a wild-harvested cat a rabies-shot does not cure it of rabies if it already has rabies. It may or may not show any symptoms up to the point of its death. We have no way of accurately testing for rabies by keeping this cat alive. And since we are cat-hoarding sociopaths and psychopaths and care more about the life of this cat than your own, more than the life of any other human or other animals on earth, we also didn't quarantine it in a government-supervised double-walled enclosure system for a period of not less than 6-months before handing it over to you -- as required by all national and international pet-trade, import/export, and animal-transport laws. There have been many rabid cats adopted-out from TNR colonies over the years. This resulting in the adopters having to obtain post-exposure rabies shots costing them in excess of $5,000 per family member. As well as costing over $1,000 per month, for a period not less than 6 months, for quarantining each family pet that came in contact with the rabid cat that was adopted from an outdoor source -- just like we adopt them out with our own criminal-negligence. You should also know that you are at more than 4-times greater risk of contracting rabies from any cat today due to these highly illegal TNR (trap, neuter, re-abandon) programs and all stray cats than any other domesticated animal. If you adopted a cat from us and it dies from rabies you must pay for all these costs on your own. In one well-known case the family who adopted one of these rabid cats from a shelter's TNR program went into bankruptcy to handle the costs -- just so you know. We take no responsibility for rabies nor any other of the 3dozen+ potentially deadly zoonotic diseases, for which it was not tested, now being in your home or killing any of your family or other beloved animals.
Enjoy your new kitty!

ReplyDeleteIf people advocate for cats as rodent-control on farms and ranches they've already doomed them to being destroyed by drowning or shooting when it becomes a financial liability more than any asset. Ranchers and farmers worldwide are fully aware that cats' Toxoplasma gondii parasite can cause the very same birth defects (hydrocephaly and microcephaly), still-births, and miscarriages in their livestock and important wildlife as it can in pregnant women. Consequently, this is also how this cats' brain-parasite gets into your meats and onto your dinner-tables, from herbivores ingesting this cat-parasites' oocysts in the soils, transferred to the plants and grains that they eat. Herbivores can contract this parasite in NO OTHER WAY. Not even washing your hands in bleach nor hydrochloric-acid will destroy this parasites' oocysts if you have contracted it from your garden or yard that a cat has defecated in.
This is why any cats are ROUTINELY destroyed around gestating livestock and wildlife-management areas in the most efficient, humane, and least-expensive method available. Common rural practice everywhere. The risk of financial loss from dead livestock and important native wildlife from an invasive-species cat is far too great to do otherwise. This cats' parasite is now even killing off rare marine-mammals (dolphins, seals, otters, and even rare whales) along all coastal regions around the world from run-off containing this cat-parasites' oocysts. Letting your vermin cats roam free is absolutely no better and just as criminal and morally reprehensible as throwing indiscriminate rat-poison around on everyone's property, and indeed the whole planet.
Children on farms and ranches also learn how to be a good steward of their lands when it comes to invasive domesticated species like cats, with one simple statement from the ecologically responsible parents (those who are directly dependent upon the very lands on which they live, including yourselves), "If you see a cat more'n 100 yards from any building, shoot it! It's up to no good." They don't bother with expensive spaying and neutering cats, that's too time consuming and costly for a work-cat that's not doing its proper job.
The next time cat-lickers bite into that whole-grain veggie-muffin or McBurger, they need to just envision biting down on a shot-dead or drowned kitten or cat. For that's precisely how that food supply got to their mouths -- whether they want to face up to it or not.
If you want to blame someone for the drowning and shooting of cats, you need to prosecute yourselves -- every time you eat. Enjoy your next meal! At least 1 cat paid for it with its life.
If your cat so much as touches one paw on my property, I guarantee you that I have the legal right no matter where I live to destroy your trespassing vermin cat for you. How many animals of yours are going to have to permanently disappear before you finally learn your much-deserved lesson in how to be a responsible pet-owner and a respectable neighbor and human? 12? 15? (those being the average disappeared cats per cat-licker before they even begin to learn their much-deserved lesson at long-last) 200? The ones by me who were adopting cats from "barn cat programs" were uniquely cretinized and lobotomized. I had to shoot and bury many hundreds of their cats to stop them from gutting-alive and skinning-alive the last of the native wildlife on my lands before they even started to learn.
Love 'em or lose 'em!
Bottom line: If you don't want to take care of your cat in the manner that YOU see fit, then I guarantee you that I WILL take care of your cat in the manner that I see fit -- ONE TIME. And it only takes one time. See one, shoot one, A.S.A.P. Simple as that.
YOUR CHOICE!
