Most
importantly,
who
does
the
adoptions
here
at
the
shelter
so
she's,
the
one
that
reviews
all
those
applications
that
we
get
from
amazing
potential,
adopters
and,
of
course,
finalizes
those
adoptions
with
the
wonderful
people
and
the
families
that
we
select
to
adopt
our
furry
friends
here
at
the
shelter?
So
let's
meet
some
kitties
with
abby.
Today,
it's
just
going
to
be
a
kitty
show
all
of
our
dogs
have
been
adopted,
so
that's
great
news
for
all
of
those
they're
in
their
warm
homes,
especially
during
these
really
cold
temperatures.
B
B
You
know
one
of
the
things
we
love
about.
Cats
is
their
sassy
independent
nature,
but
he
really
is
is
kind
of
dog-like
in
the
way
that
he
just
picks
on
on
other
people
and
animals,
emotions
and
is
not
just
picks
up
on
it,
but
tries
to
negate
any
of
the
negative
ones.
So
he's
a
doll
currently
available
for
adoption.
I
would
love
to
place
him
in
a
home
with
another
cat.
B
If
you,
if
you
have
a
cat
in
your
home,
that
seems
lonely
maybe
stressed
when
you
leave
to
go
to
work,
especially
those
of
us
who
are
going
back
to
work
after
having
been
home
for
so
long.
If
you
have
a
kitty,
or
maybe
even
a
dog
at
home,
who
needs
some
companionship,
pickles
would
be
so
so
so
good
for
that,
especially
if
it's
a
shy
or
kind
of
nervous
cat,
he
seems
to
be
very,
very
good
at
picking
up
on
that
kind
of
thing.
B
So
again,
pickles
is
about
two
years
old
he's
neutered
fully
vaccinated,
dewormed
microchipped,
just
like
everybody,
so
he
is
all
ready
to
go
home
just
like
we're
doing
with
cobid
right
now,
just
get
online
fill
out
an
application.
Once
we
get,
you
approved,
we'll
get
you
an
appointment
to
come
in
and
meet
this
handsome
boy.
B
All
right
and
our
next
guest
today
is
jester
he's
also
about
two
years
old
came
to
us
as
a
stray
someone
found
him
running
loose,
so
they
called
our
animal
control
officer
and
we
got
out
there
and
scooped
him
up
really
happy
he's
inside
with
how
the
weather
has
been
this
week.
He
is
a
really
sweet
cat
he's
a
really
don't
look
at
me.
B
Look
at
the
camera
he's
a
really
laid
back
kind
of
dude
of
a
cat
like
not
really
a
whole
lot
stresses
him
out,
he's
very
calm,
very
easy,
going
just
kind
of
likes
to
hang
out
and
just
be
with
you.
So
he'd
be
great.
If
you're
looking
for
a
really
laid
back,
calm,
easy
going,
companion,
he's
young,
so
he'll
want
to
play.
He'll
want
to
be
a
silly
boy
sometimes,
but
for
the
most
part,
he's
just
kind
of
content.
B
To
hang
out
he's
an
example
of
one
of
the
things
we
have
to
do
when
they
come
in
as
far
as
their
medical
care,
he
had
kind
of
an
upset
stomach
when
he
arrived,
which
is
sometimes
from
intestinal
parasites,
sometimes
the
stress
of
being
here.
So
that's
where
the
donations
come
in
handy,
so
he
got
lots
of
medicine
and
special
food
to
get
that
all
taken
care
of
for
him.
B
So
he's
feeling
all
better
now
and
he
arrived
to
us
like
that,
so
probably
something
he'd
been
experiencing
while
he
was
living
outside,
so
all
the
more
important
that
they
get
in
here,
so
we
can
get
them
all
taken
care
of,
and
that
kind
of
care
is
something
that's
really
important
to
us.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
they
go
home
healthy
and
happy.
We
want
their
new
adopters
to
just
enjoy
them
and
enjoy
getting
them
settled
into
the
home
without
having
to
worry
about.
B
So
he's
all
better
now
and
all
ready
for
adoption,
like
I
said,
he's
two
years
old,
I
believe
he
would
do
well
with
other
cats,
I'm
not
sure
if
they
tested
him
with
dogs.
Yet
if
someone
applied
for
him
who
had
a
dog,
we
would
definitely
dog
test
him.
We
have
a
couple
of
staff
dogs
here
that
are
good
cat
testers,
so
we
could
always
double
check
that
with
how
easy
going
he
is.
I
think
he
would
do
well
with
children.
B
B
All
right,
everybody-
and
this
here
is
star
star's,
pretty
wiggly
and
wanting
to
get
down
and
play.
This
is
the
play
room,
so
he
knows
he
can
find
lots
to
do
in
here.
So
we'll
keep
his
little
intro
short,
so
he
can
get
back
to
playing.
But
star
is
about
two
and
a
half
years
old.
He
came
to
us
as
a
owner
surrender
they.
Actually,
the
original
adopter
had
had
to
move
back
home
and
had
given
him
to
friends.
B
He
was
pastor
from
owner
to
owner,
which
is
not
what
we
really
want
until
basically,
the
last
owner
you
can
see
is
using
his
scratching
board.
There
he's
a
good
boy,
they,
basically
he
was
passed
from
owner
to
owner
until
the
very
last
owner
moved
back
home
and
then
he
kind
of
ran
out
of
people.
So
now
he's
back
here
with
us.
He
originally
was
to
our
shelter
as
a
transfer.
B
He
is
now,
and
then
he
was
surrendered
to
us.
So
star
is
another
example
of
a
kitty
that
needed
some
medical
care.
While
he
was
here,
he
had
a
broken
tooth
that
our
friends
at
somerset,
vet
hospital
took
care
of
for
him
and,
as
you
can
see,
he's
a
really
playful
happy
guy
loves
to
play,
loves
to
interact
with
people
and
toys.
So,
as
you
can
see,
he's
still
young
and
very
playful
and
very
active
loves
to
be
around.
B
B
Him
all
right
and
our
next
guest
is
the
youngest
of
everyone.
Here.
This
is
coral.
She
is
four
months
old
and
she's
got
these
beautiful
calico
markings
with
the
tabby
mixed
in
and,
as
you
can
see,
she's
so
sweet.
She
is
a
big
purr
machine,
very
sweet,
very
affectionate,
typical
young
kitten
loves
to
be
around
people
loves
to
get
all
of
the
attention
gets
her
little
playful
moment.
B
She's,
not
an
itty
bitty
anymore,
so
she's
easy
to
care
for
still
young,
though
so
important,
to
take
into
consideration
that
she's
got
a
long
life
ahead
of
her
adopting
a
kitten
is
kind
of
like
having
a
kid.
They
can
live
about
18
years,
so
she's
got
a
hopefully
a
long,
healthy,
happy
life
ahead
of
her.
B
She
is
set
to
be
spayed,
she's
still
intact
right
now,
but
she
will
be
spayed
before
she
goes
home
she's
getting
spayed
next
week.
So
we'll
get
everything
all
worked
out
so
that
she'll
be
spayed
before
she
goes
home
to
her
new
family.
We
are
starting
to
accept
applications
on
her
now,
just
so,
we
can
make
sure
we
have
a
family
lined
up
and
ready
to
go
after
she's
spayed.
B
We
believe
she
does
well
with
other
cats
she's
young
enough.
I
think
a
dog
would
be
something
she
could,
even
if
she's,
not
overly
thrilled
with
at
the
moment,
with
a
really
calm
sweet
dog
that
would
not
be
intimidating
to
her.
I
think
she
would
do
really
well
and
of
course,
kittens
are
always
usually
great
with
kids
as
long
as
the
kids
are
gentle
with
them.
We
always
want
kids
to
be
gentle
with
any
cat,
but
definitely
these
little
guys.
B
All
right
and
our
last
guest
today
we
have
come
to
him.
He
has
come
a
long
way,
but
he's
just
not
quite
ready
to
be
carried
up
into
the
room.
Yet
so
this
is
beetlejuice.
Beetlejuice
came
to
us
as
a
stray.
He
was
caught
in
a
live
humane
trap.
Someone
saw
him
running
loose
outside
and
wanted
to
get
him
in
and
make
sure
he
was
safe,
especially
you
know
at
the
beginning
of
this
winter.
B
So
when
he
first
arrived,
he
was
not
very
happy
about
human
companionship
and
when
he
went
in
for
his
neuter
the
veterinarian
actually
discovered
he
had
a
pretty
significant
wound
on
the
side
of
his
face.
So
once
they
treated
that
he
came
around,
which
happens
sometimes
sometimes
they
haven't
had
a
whole
lot
of
human
exposure
and
then,
when
they're
in
pain.
It's
just
kind
of
leave
me
alone
kind
of
thing.
So
he's
definitely
a
lot
better,
but
he's
still
a
little
shy
in
new
situations.
B
B
A
B
See,
oh
he's
not
going
to
put
his
butt
up
for
me
today
is
the
camera
making
you
shy
beetlejuice.
Normally
he
will
throw
his
butt
up
into
your
hand
when
you're
petting
him
he
does.
Let
us
pick
him
up.
I'm
just
not
gonna
make
him
do
that
right
now,
because
he
is
a
little
scared
of
that
camera.
Aren't
you?
What
is
that
thing
he's
super
sweet,
though
he
would
do
really
really
well
with
someone
who
has
had
cats
before
you
know,
quiet
home,
probably
I
would
definitely
say
no
children.
B
Other
cats
would
probably
be
okay,
I
would
probably
say
not
a
dog,
but
luckily
these
cats
that
have
lived
outside
are
usually
really
good
with
other
animals
of
their
species,
so
cats.
So
if
you
have
the
patience,
he
probably
wouldn't
need
very
long,
maybe
a
week
or
two
just
to
get
acclimated
to
the
home
and
then
he'd
be
super
sweet.
B
I
wish
he
would
do
it
for
us,
but
he
has
the
tiniest
little
baby
meow,
which
does
not
match
his
body
at
all,
but
he's
so
sweet,
and
so
very
handsome
and
lovely
he's
got
just
like
this
little
stripe
of
white.
That
goes
down
his
nose
and
it's
actually
underneath
on
his
little
lip
too.
So
he's
got
like
just
a
tiny,
thin
little
mustache
on
his
face.
B
You
can
see
he.
You
probably
can't
tell
very
much
in
the
camera,
but
when
I
run
my
finger
over
his
cheek,
he
does
lean
into
it.
So
this
is
beetlejuice.
Beetlejuice
would
be
great
for
the
cat
savvy
adopter
who
loves
to
rescue
these
kinds
of
guys.
I
really
don't
think
he's
going
to
be
much.
Work.
He's
never
really
had
much
of
an
aggressive
bone
in
his
body
other
than
acting
defensive
when
he
first
arrived.
B
A
A
A
So
again,
thanks
abby
for
doing
a
great
show
and
showing
our
beautiful
furry
friends,
we
are
going
to
be
opening
this
up
to
other
city
employees,
who
are
going
to
be
showing
our
wonderful
animals
here
available
for
adoption
as
guest
hosts
to
kind
of
show
off
our
our
beautiful
critters
that
we
have
here
so
keep
an
eye
out
for
new
shows,
hopefully
be
fun
and
interesting
and
hopefully
get
all
these
pets
adopted
into
their
homes.
So,
thanks
for.
