The ranch buildings have been overran with mice the last few years as we have not had cats. So we recently added a mouse extermination crew, 5 cats. These 2 were obtained from Panhandle Humane Society and will be shut in the horse barn for a couple of weeks or until they realize it is their home. They are very tame and happy to see us when we enter the barn. The other 3 were captured at an abandoned farmstead and are quite wild. They are shut in the machine shed where we have cattle feed stored with a lot of mice. These cats may never be tamed so hopefully they will accept this as their home. The cats were free to the ranch as I performed ovariohysterectomies on 3 and orchiectomies on 2. Mitchell Valley Veterinary Clinic allowed me use of the surgery room to do this.
