A
Hello
and
thank
you
for
tuning
in
to
this
episode
of
animals
and
aims.
My
name
is
Ron
Edwards
I'm,
the
animal
control
supervisor
here
for
the
Ames
animal
shelter
and
animal
control
program.
Our
first
very
special
guest
here
with
us
today
is
brooke.
Brooke
has
been
with
us.
She
is
our
second
longest
residence,
so
she's
been
with
us
a
total
of
a
hundred
and
sixteen
days
as
of
today
and
part
of
the
reason
why
she
was
here
so
long.
She
came
into
some
pretty
bad
shape.
A
You
may
notice
here
that
Brooke
only
has
one
eye
she
came
in
with
both
of
them,
and
one
of
them
was
so
severely
damaged
that
it
had
to
be
removed.
So
we
had
to
have
that
removed.
So
she
could
live
comfortably
and
lead
a
happy
life
and
she
also
had
kittens
while
she
was
here
so
in
addition
to
being
injured,
and
she
had
a
few
other
injuries
on
her
when
she
came
in.
A
A
She
just
has
some
beautiful
coloring
I
can
turn
her
on
the
side
here,
and
you
can
just
see
this
beautiful
orange
mixed
in
with
the
brown
and
the
gold
and
the
black
and
just
such
a
beautiful
cat
again,
we
think
that
she's
about
two
years
old.
That
would
be
our
estimate
in,
in
addition
to
the
injury
and
losing
her
eye,
she
is
also
FIV
positive,
so
that
is
typically
referred
to
as
Kitty
aids.
A
That
is
a
condition
that
is
going
to
require
that
she
have
a
very
special
home
and
just
want
to
point
out
that
everything
that's
happened
to
broke
her
injuries
from
her
eye
injury
to
being
FIV
positive,
the
chances
she.
Those
are
all
things
that
happened
to
her
when
she
was
outdoors.
The
fiv
transmission
is
from
another
cat.
A
Typically,
that's
from
fighting
where
there's
actually
blood
contact
and
the
I
could
been
as
simple
as
a
cat
scratching
her
eye
and
it
just
never
healed
properly
because
she
didn't
get
the
appropriate
vet
care
that
she
really
needed
and
deserved.
So
now,
she's
safe
and
him
warm
here
with
us
here
at
the
Ames
animal
shelter,
but
she
does
need
a
special
home,
so
she's
really
going
to
need
to
be
the
only
cat
in
the
home
unless
you
happen
to
have
another
cat.
That
is
also
FIV
positive,
but
there's
lots
of
information
about
FIV
it.
A
A
It's
really
just
going
to
matter
the
the
home
that
they
get
and
making
sure
that
they
get
all
the
vet
care
and
love
that
they
need
and
deserve.
So
again,
Brook
here
is
available
for
adoption
again
we're
looking
for
a
very
special
home
for
brooke
one,
that's
going
to
keep
her
indoors
and
keep
her
safe,
she's
already
been
through
enough
in
her
very
short
lifespan.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
brooke
gets
the
absolute
best
home
possible.
Again.
A
She
is
our
second
longest
resident
now
she
has
been
spayed,
so
no
more
kittens
for
her
I'm
sure
she's
happy
about
that.
She
just
hasn't
told
us
yet
that
yet,
but
just
a
beautiful
cat,
great
personality
just
has
some
very
special
situations
and
considerations
that
need
to
be
given
if
you're
considering
to
adopt
brooke.
So
do
some
research,
there's
lots
of
information
out
there
about
FIV
and
how
to
manage
that.
A
A
And
our
next
guest
today
is
Simeon
Simeon,
a
neutered
male.
He
came
in
to
us
neutered.
He
is
very
curious
if
he
looks
at
the
camera
a
lot
because
he's
got
the
most
beautiful,
blue
eyes
kind
of
reminds
us
but
Oppenheimer
who
just
recently
got
adopted
and
found
a
great
forever
home.
So
but
beautiful
blue
eyes
here
on
Simeon
he's
a
little
nervous
he's
fairly
new
here
to
the
shelter
came
in
as
a
stray,
and
we
didn't
have
anybody
come
forward
for
him.
So
that's
very
strange:
he
is
a
purebred
Himalayan.
Chocolate
point
you
can.
A
The
chocolate
point
is
the
color
of
the
ears
there,
and
also
on
the
tail
beautiful
long-haired
cat.
That
needs
lots
and
lots
of
brushing
these
long-haired
cats
just
need
a
lot
of
attention.
Otherwise
it's
very
easy
for
their
fur
to
get
matted
up
and
we
don't
want
that
to
happen.
That
can
be
very
painful
for
them.
So
again
he
came
into
us
as
a
stray.
He
was
already
neutered,
no
identification,
no
microchip,
no
caller
doesn't
look
like
he
had
been
wearing
a
collar
and
that's
one
thing
to
remember
with
cats:
a
lot
of
cats.
A
A
He'll
be
a
kitty
that
can
help
keep
you
warm
with
his
beautiful
long,
for
we
haven't
noticed
any
poor,
behavior
negative
behavior
with
him
at
all.
He
seems
to
be
very
friendly
again
just
kind
of
nervous
in
this
environment.
So
I'm
not
going
to
keep
him
up
here
any
longer,
but
beautiful
long-haired,
Himalayan,
chocolate
point
ears,
just
a
beautiful
cat
and
unfortunately
he
wasn't
claimed
by
his
owner
and
he
was
declawed
on
all
four,
so
he
does
not
have
any
claws
at
all.
A
So
having
bisque
at
outdoors
is
just
a
really
scary
thing
and
think
about
Brooke
the
cat
that
I
just
had
on
you
know
she
she
was
infected
with
FIV,
because
she
was
outdoors.
This
cat
has
no
protection,
may
not
be
able
to
get
up
into
a
tree,
probably
can't
because
he
does
not
have
any
claws.
So
just
a
real
sad
thing
that
he
was
declawed
on
all
four
feet.
A
We,
of
course,
do
not
encourage
declawing
at
all
his
matter
of
fact
work
completely.
On
the
opposite
side,
we
discourage
decline.
For
many
many
reasons
you
know
number
one.
This
is
a
good
example
right
here,
a
beautiful
gorgeous
cat
that
was
outdoors
that
could
have
easily
been
attacked
by
another
animal
wild
animal.
Another
cat
and
could
be
in
a
situation
like
Brooke
was
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
doesn't
happen
to
Semien.
A
So
Simeon
is
looking
for
an
absolutely
indoor
only
home
as
all
of
our
animals
are,
that
are
adopted
here
from
names,
animal
shelter,
but
it's
even
more
important
for
Simeon
that
he
is
not
exposed
to
the
outdoors
because
he
does
not
have
any
defenses
to
protect
himself.
So
if
you're
interested
in
Simeon
come
on
down
to
the
shelter
we'd
love
to
introduce
you
to
him
and
maybe
he'll
be
adjusted
a
little
bit
more
by
then.
A
And
our
final
guest
today
is
Sam.
Sam
was
an
owner
surrender
cat
that
came
in
to
us,
because
the
owner
could
no
longer
provide
the
necessary
care
for
him.
One
of
the
things
that
we
always
talk
about
on
this
show
is
the
importance
of
making
a
lifetime
commitment
to
these
furry.
Guys
he's
a
great
example
of
a
cat
that
you
know
wanted
to
thrive
in
the
home
environment
and
wants
to
go
play
on
the
floor.
A
But
you
know
the
owner
just
did
not
have
the
means
to
to
take
care
of
them,
and
you
know
we
ever
known
jizz
in
life
and
things
happen.
You
know,
life
circumstances,
change
and
things
like
that.
But
these
are
all
things
that
we
try
to
get
people
to
think
in
advance.
You
know,
no
one
can
never
predict
exactly
what's
going
to
happen
in
someone's
life
and
their
work
and
their
family
and
such,
but
we
do
want
people
to
understand
the
commitment
for
these
guys
that
they
are
a
lifetime
commitment.
A
It's
not
a
pet
that
you
just
get
rid
of.
When
you
decide
that
you
know
you
can
no
longer
provide
for
them
and
what
they
need,
you
can
tell
them
you're
very
great
kitty.
That
is
just
got
a
whole
lot
of
energy
here.
So
when
he's
covering
my
mic
a
bit
so
we'll
see,
if
you
can
hear
what
I'm
saying
here,
but
Sam
is
very
active,
he's
about
two
years
old
again,
he
was
surrendered
to
us,
so
he
is
available
for
adoption
right
away.
He
has
been
neutered,
so
he
is
ready
to
go.
A
He
is
a
pretty
big
kitty,
he's
actually
a
short-haired
cat,
but
he's
pretty
solid
picking
him
up
and
just
holding
him
here.
While
he's
running
and
playing,
he
is
a
pretty
solid
cat.
So
if
you're
interested
in
adopting
Sam
and
providing
that
forever
home,
that's
going
to
make
that
commitment
to
him
and
keep
them
and
provide
the
care
for
him
that
he
needs
and
deserves
come
on
down
to
the
shelter.
A
Well,
that's
our
show
for
today
that
was
just
three
of
the
cats
that
we
have
available
for
adoption.
We
have
about
20
cats
right
now
that
need
their
forever
homes
and,
of
course,
we're
really
hoping
that
the
majority
of
them
and
if
not
all
of
them
are
home
for
the
holidays
were
well
on
our
way
to
achieving
that
goal.
So
what
kind
of
keep
everybody
updated
and
we've
just
had
some
great
adoptions?
Lately
I've
mentioned
Oppenheimer
and
some
other
cats
that
have
been
adopted.
Some
of
our
longer-term
residents.
A
Brooke
is
our
second
longest
and
our
first
longest
and
we
tried
to
bring
him
on,
but
he
was
a
little
camera-shy
today
is
Marty
and
Marty
came
in
to
us
and
he
was
caught
in
a
trap
and
pretty
much
Pharaoh
hadn't
had
any
human
socialization
and
things
I
wanted
to
bring
him
on
today.
But
he
was
a
little
camera
shy
and
nervous.
So
he
told
me
that
he
was
not
going
on
TV
and
I
listened
to
him
so
great
cat.
A
He
is
our
longest
resident
he's
been
here
for
a
hundred
and
fifty
days
as
of
today
so
really
like
to
get
Marty
a
special
home.
He
really
needs
a
home
where
there
was
no
children,
because
he
does
still
have
some
kind
of
wild
instincts
and
behaviors
and,
like
I
said
he
told
me
today,
he
was
not
going
on
TV
and
I
listened
to
what
he
had
to
say.
So
we
got
some
great
animals
here.
A
Unfortunately,
we
don't
have
any
dogs
for
adoption
and
that's,
unfortunately,
for
people
who
are
looking
to
adopt,
but
fortunately
we
don't
have
any
dogs
that
are
going
to
spend
the
holidays
here
in
the
shelter,
but
that
could
change
every
day
so
keep
an
eye
on
our
website,
which
is
Ames,
animal
shelter,
org
and
our
website
is
updated.
Every
15
minutes
with
the
animals
that
are
here
available
for
adoption.
So
if
you
always
check
on
that,
you
can
always
see
what
we
have
here
at
the
shelter.
