Our Cats after Release:    

1.     Ennis:  Nancy and Clyde went to this garage in Ennis.  Somehow Clyde got out of the cage after only 2 nights…???   Nancy stayed for the 2 weeks.  The property owner called and was upset because Clyde was gone.  WELL – HE CAME BACK!   Here is his picture in the garage:

  

2.     Fairview:  Miss Mew-Mew went to this garage in Fairview and is now “Cuddles”.  They love her – GREAT! 

3.     Flower Mound:  Ashton and Ms. Kitty went to this shed/barn.  Ms. Kitty was spotted in the rafters when I was there. 

4.     Fairview:  Skipper, Mckayla, and Sweetie went to this barn in Fairview.  The rats are gone so the cats are still around even though they have not been spotted.   

5.     Royce City:  Meanie, Monty, Minnie, Morty, and Maggie went to this barn with 2 horses, 2 donkeys, and 2 children.  They have all stayed around.  These 5 were from the property where the rescuer passed away…so…good they are all together.   

Calls/Emails:  Moving on Wednesday

I received a call last Monday wanting me to “come get these cats” because he was moving on Wednesday.   (Sure – be right over!)  Also, he was in the far reaches of the universe and none had been sterilized.  A neighbor who had moved told him the ASPCA would help but he did not have that number.   SURE – The ASPCA is in New York City.  This conversation did not last long.     

BMG:   Cats Not Released

This has happed TWICE in the last week.  I set up appointments to pick up equipment.  When I got there, the cats had not been released.  In both cases, the cats had been confined for over 3 weeks rather that the required 2 weeks.  Interesting that with both cases I had done the relocations with GUYS.   HUMMM!   You know, the date are in the paperwork in the folder that I left with you.  Nice people but not paying attention!     

OMG:  2 Became 6  ???

I took 2 females to Alba, TX to live in a shed.  The property owner called this week that 4 other cats had shown up to eat.  Come to find out the previous owners had moved off and left 4 cats that had been living in the woods.  Our two had invited them in for dinner and they have stayed.  The property owners will try and find out if those had been fixed.   We shall see…
