Our Cats after Release:
1. Whitewright: 5 mostly white cats went to Blue Bonnet Great
Pyrenees Rescue (Randy, Rudy, Rusty, Ralph, Roo). After release, 4 out of 5 are bring
continually spotted by around the extensive property.
2. Corinth: Thor and Poppy were put in this backyard
shed. Thor disappeared for a couple of
days but is back. The shed is all theirs
with a cat door, shelves, fuzzy beds, and toys.
3. Forestburg: Jesse, Manny, Ossi-Spot, JoJo were placed on
this property with llamas and donkeys.
They see the black cats on a regular basis but lots of food is
disappearing. Now a neighbor wants cats
so we will be going back there is ones for that property when we pick up the
equipment. It has been TOO MUDDY up there
to retrieve our stuff.
4. Desoto: Dusty, Sam, and Tank joined Leo, Misty, and
Tina at this ranch and riding stable.
Owner says the cats are “Taking Over” -- as it should be! Glad it is working out.
5. We placed cats in Iowa City
and Archer City outside Wichita Falls.
It has been raining so much they waited longer to release the cats. We have not picked up that equipment yet so
have no update. (Christi, Charlotte,
Josie, Sarah, Skipper)
6. Hickory Creek: Mittens is letting the barn owner pet him so
GREAT NEWS!
7. Seagoville: Ted was placed at this horse boarding
location. Owners are happy and the cat
is doing great!
Bad Calls/EMAILS: 45 Cats in New York: UPDATE
Original: A lady from New York left me a message at the
end of the week. Her colony needs to be
relocated and she is calling anyone she can find on the internet. I returned her call and left a message – it
is 3 days later with no return call from her.
Guess she got the problem resolved…???
UPDATE: She called when I was recovering from surgery
and seems overwhelmed with what needs to be done. I gave her my best advise but…who knows.
BMG: Moving to Romania
TOMORROW
Yes
– you read that right. An SPCA in
California gave a guy our number in North Texas because he has a feral cat that
needs to be saved but he was moving to Romania the next day – last Friday. I told him this was too quick to do anything
and I was several states away – referred him to the list on the website of
other groups – there are barning groups in California. GEEZ!
A little more planning would be nice.
Hope it works out!
OMG: Declawed Cat on
Craigslist
We
all know you never put animals on Craigslist.
There are folks out there looking for kittens to feed to their
snakes! I received an email from a
person who follows this blog that there was a declawed cat on Craigslist in a
community we service. We will be looking
for a front declawed cat in the June timeframe to put in a store in
Whitesboro. So, I spoke with the person
who posted the entry and she said the cat was with a neighbor who had gotten it
from an elderly woman who was going to a nursing home. Her kids wanted the cat but she does not want
to clean a litter box – surprise – they need to poop and pee! Anyway, we put a plan in place to pick up
the cat but when we got there (over 1 hour away) the owner does not want the
cat going to a group. SO – Nancy
convinces her that she will take the cats into her home. The lady in standing in her open doorway
holding the cat who is squirming around because there is a guy across the
street using a jack-hammer! I am in the
car thinking “this could end badly”. In
the end, the owner decides to give the cat to Nancy and she successfully gets
it into one of our carriers. The cat is
safe and will soon be going to an adoption group who ALREADY HAS A NEW HOME FOR
HER! YEAH! I love it when a plan coming together.
Blog Is Back
The
surgery went well on Monday, March 28th and I was only in the
hospital for 2 nights. I recovered at
home with in-house physical therapy and a home nurse who changed the
dressing. I saw the doctor again at the
2 week point and he is pleased with how it all has lined up. Nancy and I went to pick up barn cats
equipment directly from that appointment, so I must be getting better. Now it has been 4 weeks and I rarely even use
the cane. Doctor said “Don’t do anything
stupid” – OK, I got it!
Thanks
for following the Barn Cats Blog. Peg
