Marit, I'm probably going to need some barn cats 2-3 months from now.

Umm... Would they make good barn cats?

My husband is allergic to cats, so we can only have Turkish Angoras (little to no undercoat, so he doesn't have a problem), but we can have all the cats we want outdoors.  However, I will not have outdoor cats unless they have a barn in which to live.

ohhh wow, ohhhh yeah, man that would be sooo great. I have mama cat who was found with four kittens, she was soooo skinny and dehydrated. one of those kittens went to a good home, one passed away, and I have two here, cookie dough and Tornado, those three will definately make real good barn cats. Then we have the 4 new kittens, I adopted out mama cat, and well they promised to have her as an indoor cat, but yet alter her, guess what, one day they were knocking on my door, with a very pregnant cat, I was about to hit them. Sooooo a couple days later mama cat, who is very young had her second litter.

And I have a hubby who is allergic too, imagine that lol. We have one cat who is actually our own, the others are not supposed to stay here, but it is hard hard to find homes for cats, and I am not just giving them up to someone who I dont believe will take care of them.

I dont mind having cats as barn cats, when I lived in Sweden and had horses, we had several cats in the stables, they had their beds, the tack room were always really warm and cozy even in the winter, and they got fed. And if a barn cat is taken care of, they really really do love the life they can have, being outside and just be a cat.

You are in Tx right? Please keep me and the cats in mind when you have a barn, and I will totally fill it up with cats  ;D

 I LOVE YOU GOOD  HOPE, I REALLY REALLY DOOOOOOO  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

There are different ways, either I can try and hook up with a transport down that way, and see if we can piggy back. Or maybe set up a transport with legs. Or dang if I have to Ill pay to have them shipped to you. Or hubby will hahahaha he will be able to see and breathe again hahahah

Ok. Here is the "update"...
I talked to Will and we decided that for now, she is safe and being taken care of where she is. We think it would be stressful to bring her home for a few days and then have her go back into a kennel situation for 3 days. So the conclusion is....
if she is still there next Monday after we are back in town, we're going to go get her. In the meantime she might be adopted or rescued. Which is great. If not, WE shall rescue her!!! Which will be GREAT!!! And Will is totally ok with this plan. YAY!!! So either way, she wins!!! She's gonna have a home. Well, I mean, if she comes home with us she will be a foster dog. (That's what I will have to keep repeating to myself!) :D

Doghealer,

That's a wonderful plan! I'll bet Gypsy and Laurie have some wonderful fostering tips! ;)

Merry Christmas!

That is such great news. Even if she is rescued by someone else, it means one less Saint in the rescues and shelters--AND THAT IS GREAT NEWS!!! My boy came to me when he was 10 months old, and he was in the same sort of shape physically, and the thing that he needed even more than food was love. This will certainly be an exciting holiday season for you!!

SHE'S BEEN ADOPTED!!!!!
I am crying. I am so happy for her. Also I am sad because I had envisioned me going to get her, and bringing her home and nurturing her... :'( but I am so so so glad someone went and saved her. She deserves it!!! She is now listed in the dogs adopted from the Bartlett Shelter.
Wow.
I am such a crybaby!!!
She's got a home!!!!!!! :D
