The Cambridge Valley Veterinary Clinic is just down the road from us, and is a bright, cheerful and inviting place. Flo acted as if she had been in a clinic before, she was very calm during handling. We are canvassing the neighbors to make sure she doesn’t belong to anybody nearby, but Florence Walrath’s granddaughter Lori told me that this cat often hung around the farm when Flo was around and Flo fed her food scraps. We think she has been living in our woodshed for awhile. Tom Wolski said she is fine outside, apart from the dangers of predators and the road. We are somewhat protected on our farm, given the fences, dogs and donkeys. Flo will stay in the woodshed, Minnie in the big barn.

It is hard to fathom what happened to Mother. Minnie and Flo are content here and safe. Mother must have decided to go somewhere else to live. The prerogative of a barn cat. Photo Album of Flo On Facebook.
