Send warm thoughts to my Feral Barn Gang This weekend [View all]

[Liberalynn]

The meteorologists are predicting colder temperatures than we've had in twenty years starting Sunday night. I can't bring them in because the majority of them I can't even get near, and even the few I can pet have never been indoors so they'd probably freak especially with Marnie in here.

I just spread two new bales of straw on top of the three that were already there and am going to go back out to try and cover some more holes to keep as much of the wind out as I can. Unfortunately I can't cover all the window because the few times I've tried they break out one of the panels. Even though they have three exit spaces in the walls already the lady from Colony Caregivers said they must still want the window exit too, cause she came and tried to fix it once for me too and they broke her solution too.

I just hope it's enough to keep them warm. It's an old barn that my family hasn't used in years, there's not even electricity out there, but years ago they moved in, so I try the best I can to keep them fed, watered and sheltered. I have also managed to get all but three spayed and neutered through Colony Caregivers low cost TNR program. Hopefully we will get those three done this spring.

In return I get no rodents in my house and hard won friendship from the few over the years that have decided, hey that woman is not so scary and is okay for a human.
