Good afternoon! Been in town most of the day so just a quick post to tell you what Kirby and I did today.
Kirby and I were in Billings today. Kohl had therapy and Kirby had an appointment. We were picking up a few groceries and heading home. Pooh calls and says that CP is really holding her ear down and shaking her head. We told her to put her in the carrier and take her in the the vet and we will meet her there. We get there and have to wait. We knew we would be we didn't have an appointment. Any way we ask about barn cats again and they said they had only had little kitten nothing a little bigger like we wanted. While we were waiting we saw this couple come in with 2 cats, stay a little bit and then leave. We figured they were boarding them for the weekend. Later we find out that the had brought the cats to be put to sleep. They just couldn't handle them anymore. I lady had called to ask if she could try to find them homes before they put them to sleep. All the sudden the one gal in there says wit we might have a home for them. Ask if we would be interested them as barn cats. We went back and looked at them and in good shape but FAT. We said we would try them as barn cats as long as they were fixed and we could get them rabies and distemper shots. So guess where they are? They are in our saddle shed hopefully getting used to their new home. The one gall said that they couple does this about every 3 years. They get cats when they are little and cute and then when they become cats they come and have them put to sleep. Can you say sucker?
No pics yet. They got out of the cat carriers and his. We still need to name them.
Supper is pizza.

Good luck with the new cats. Why spay them? I mean, I understand for cats in town or something, but out here (there?), chances are slim that barn cats live a long time anyway, kittens are always welcome to try to keep the mouse population down, while their own population dwindles due to coyotes.
Of course, spaying is the responsible thing to do. In my opinion, though, wild barn cats aren't worth the expense to do more than keep fed. (gosh, that sounds bad. I love cats, really). I'll just shut up now. LOL!
That couple should not get more cats! I'm glad they have a good home now as your barn cats and I know they will be well provided for.
That is strange that the couple would do that to their cats every few years, they definately shouldn't get anymore. And how nice of you to be able to save those kitties!
hope they work out as good barn cats.
Have a happy 4th of July!
Good Morning!!....Thats too bad that older couple does that. I want to say something else about it....naaah....better not..LOL! Too mean. But the cats will probably adapt quickly. Maybe once they see the mice running around. I love cats. Wish I had a few of them myself.
Take care and have a great 4th of July!!
