This morning, I went out and took a good look at our place trying to determine the best place to put these cats. Even though our horses are long gone, the run-in stalls are still up. It will take some cleaning and organizing, but I believe we can slide one end of this 10’x20′ dog kennel into Traveler’s old stall. This will give them a solid roof over most of the kennel- then we will put another roof over that to keep the weather (and predators) away from these awesome seniors. But it gives them protection against the wind and a place in the summer to get out of the heat. We will have to put a roof over the kennel right away as our place is close to the woods and we have coons, possums, skunks, foxes and even cougars from time to time. I will haul our sacrificial sofa off to the dump- it is currently residing in one of the stalls after the cats have torn it to shreds.
So that’s the plan Stan- a busy time for all!
sounds like an awesome and less expensive plan to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck! If you can pull this off, I think the lady you are helping will try to make you and Mike saints. She isn’t so far off herself finding homes for all her other dependent animals.
Looks like things are starting to come together for you and the senior kitties. Purrrrssss and purrrrrayers to you all.
I hope someone will want to adopt some of these seniors. They make wonderful pets, given the chance.
Thank you for giving them a chance.
Funny you should mention that Terri. It just so happens the story is spreading all over town and three people are anxiously awaiting their arrival so they can meet (and hopefully adopt) a kitty. They have all adopted from me in the past, so I know the homes are stellar!
Love, prayers, and good wishes for you, Mike and your incoming fur babies!
