A
Hello
and
thank
you
for
tuning
in
to
this
episode
of
animals
and
Ames.
My
name
is
Ron
Edwards
I'm,
the
animal
control
supervisor
here
for
the
Ames,
Animal,
Shelter
and
animal
control
program.
Our
first
guest
with
us
here
today
is
the
lovely
senior
NOLA
NOLA
came
in
to
us
as
a
stray
and
she's
just
enjoying
this
chin
rubs
and
just
being
a
gentle
kitty
here
that
she
is,
we
did
get
her
to
the
vet
because
we
noticed
that
she
just
appeared
to
be.
A
You
know
she
was
a
senior
kitty
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
she
was
going
to
thrive
in
this
environment
if
the
owners
did
not
come
to
find
her.
Nobody
came
forward
so,
unfortunately
someone
let
this
kitty
live.
You
know
a
long
lifetime
in
their
house
and
for
whatever
reason,
just
left
her
here
at
the
shelter.
So
it's
a
really
sad
situation
here
for
NOLA,
but
we
want
to
find
a
place
where
NOLA
can
live
out
the
rest
of
her
life.
A
So
when
we
took
her
to
our
friends
at
Somerset
vet
hospital,
we
found
out
doing
blood
work
that
she
is
hyperthyroid,
so
she
is
currently
on
medication.
For
that
she
takes
one
very,
very
small
pill
that
we
mix
with
her
wet
food
every
day
and
she'll
need
to
have
her
blood
work,
checked
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
those
levels
to
the
where
they
should
be
for
her
thyroid
condition.
A
A
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
that
the
new
family
for
NOLA
is
going
to
be
a
committed
family
that
will
keep
her
into
her
golden
years
and
give
her
all
the
care
that
she
needs
and
especially
make
sure
that
they
have
a
good
relationship
with
the
vet
hospital.
So
we
can
monitor
those
levels.
I
know
monitor
those
levels
and
make
sure
that
that
she
is
getting
what
she
needs
to
thrive
again.
A
Those
golden
years
are
very
important,
just
as
they
are
for
people
they
are
for
animals
and
making
sure
that
she
gets
all
the
medication
and
love
and
attention
that
she
needs
is
going
to
be
really
important.
You
know
so,
if
you're
interested
here
in
NOLA
come
on
down
to
the
Ames
animal,
show
that
we'd
love
to
introduce
you
to
her,
and
you
will
talk
to
him
and
see
if
she
might
be
a
good
match
for
you
and
your
family.
A
In
our
next
guest
today
is
babe.
Babe
is
about
two
years
old.
Babe
is
one
of
our
very
special
kitties
that
are
transferred
here
from
the
Greenbelt
Humane
Society,
which
is
an
all
cat
facility,
also
a
no-kill
shelter,
just
as
we
are
here
at
the
Ames
Animal
Shelter
babe
is
about
two
years
old.
He
has
a
neutered
male
and
at
the
Greenbelt
Humane
Society
they
have
a
large
room
where
there's
over
25
to
30,
even
sometimes
40-plus
cats
that
live
in
a
community
room
and
babe
was
one
of
those
cats.
A
So
even
if
cats
weren't
being
the
nicest
to
him,
he
always
seemed
to
take
everything
pretty
well
in
stride,
and
so
we
think
he
would
do
well
in
a
home
with
another
cat
that
is
also
friendly
to
kitties,
but
he
would
also
be
a
cat
that
would
be
perfectly
fine
by
himself
so
beautiful
tabby
markings
here
and
that
white
mixed
in
there
that
just
really
shows
off
those
stripes
there
and
on
this
beautiful
kitty.
So
again
he's
from
the
Greenbelt
Humane
Society.
His
name
is
babe
and
we
haven't
met
about
two
years
old.
A
So
if
you
think
you
might
be
a
good
match
for
you,
your
home
and
your
family
and
possibly
another
kitty
in
the
home,
come
on
down
and
meet
him
he's
in
Kitty
city,
which
is
our
community
cat
room
and
he's
in
there
with
just
one
another
cat
right
now.
So
all
the
other
cats
have
adopted
within
this
last
week
so
happy
to
report
that,
but
babe
is
available
for
adoption
and
waiting
for
that
forever.
Home.
A
In
our
next
guest
today
is
Charlotte
Charlotte's
about
three
years
old
she's.
Definitely
a
shy
kitty.
We
found
and
heard
from
the
previous
owner
who
was
moving
and
could
no
longer
keep
Charlotte.
She
was
actually
surrender
with
another
kitty
who
really
did
not
do
well
here
in
the
shelter
and
stopped
eating
and
just
did
not
do
well,
so
we
called
her
back
and
she
was
able
to
come
back
and
get
that
one.
But
Charlotte
is
available
for
adoption.
A
We
understand
from
that
owner
of
it
that
she
does
like
to
snuggle
and
hide
under
the
blankets,
so
she's
again
kind
of
a
shy
kid.
If
you
come
down
to
the
shelter,
you'll
typically
find
her
behind
her
bed
or
underneath
the
little
carpet,
that's
in
the
kennel
there,
so,
but
just
a
sweet,
sweet,
sweet
kitty.
A
That's
just
really
kind
of
scared
in
this
environment.
So
I'm
gonna
keep
this
short
here
for
Charlotte
she's
about
three
years
old
she's,
a
spayed
female,
and
she
has
all
of
her
claws.
All
of
the
cats
that
you
saw
on
today's
show
have
all
their
claws
and,
of
course,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they
stay.
That
way,
so
if
you're
interested
in
a
nice
quiet
kitty,
maybe
a
senior
citizen
is
looking
for
a
kitty.
A
A
And
our
final
guest
for
today
is
a
beautiful
bunny
here
named
Alice.
She
is
a
female
rex
rabbit.
So
one
thing:
if
you
know
anything
about
bunnies
bunny
fur
is
just
the
most
soft
fur
you
have
ever
touched.
A
rex.
Rabbit
is
even
softer
than
that.
They
have
just
the
most
I
could
sit
here
and
pet
her
all
day,
which
she'd
probably
be
happy
with,
but
Rex
rabbits
just
have
the
most
incredible
soft
fur,
just
beautiful
bunnies.
But
you
know,
as
we
talked
about
every
time
we
have
bunnies
on
our
show.
A
We
want
to
talk
about
the
importance
of
making
sure
that
they
have
everything
that
they
need
to
survive
and
thrive
in
an
environment
in
a
home,
of
course,
we're
looking
for
all
of
our
rabbits
to
live
in
a
home
environment.
We
do
not
want
them
to
live
in
a
hutch
outside
playtime
outside
if
it's
supervised,
dwith
the
people.
That's
perfectly
fine,
but
a
rabbit.
A
Living
outdoors
is
extremely
dangerous,
of
course,
with
the
temperature
variations
that
we
have
here
in
Iowa,
it's
either
really
really
hot
or
really
really
cold
or
somewhere
in
the
middle
and
there's
predators
out
there.
So
there's
so
many
reasons
why
bunnies
need
to
stay
indoors
with
the
people.
They
can
make
amazing
pets,
but
a
bunny
is
not
a
pet
for
everyone.
So
it's
really
important
that
people
that
are
interested
in
adopting
bunnies
do
their
research.
They've
read
all
about
them.
They
understand
their
special
needs,
their
dietary
needs,
typically
on
the
show.
A
I'll
show
you
when,
with
the
green
leafy
vegetables
with
a
cilantro
and
the
parsley
and
all
those
different
types
of
vegetables
that
are
so
important
to
their
diet,
but
what's
even
more
important
is
this
type
of
hey.
This
is
Timothy
hey.
It
is
a
very,
very
important
part
of
their
diet
every
single
day.
They
need
to
basically
have
unlimited
amounts
of
hay.
This
box,
you
see
here,
also
serves
as
a
litter
box,
so
bunnies
can
be
litter
trained.
A
What
they'll
do
is
they'll
kind
of
eat
over
here
on
this
side
and
as
they're
eating,
then
they'll
have
their
little
droppings
on
that
side.
So
that's
kind
of
strange
to
us,
but
it's
very
common
for
them
and
again
just
making
sure
that
they
have
lots
of
this
type
of
hey
again.
Timothy,
hey
is
what
they
need.
There's
other
types
of
hay
out
there,
but
Timothy
hay
has
definitely,
if
you
look
at
all
the
experts
that
have
spoken
on
this
timothy
hay
is
definitely
what
they
need
and
should
have
it's
pretty
easy
to
get.
A
You
want
to
make
sure
you're
getting
fresh
timothy
hay.
What
I
always
tell
people
if
you're
interested
in
adopting
a
bunny.
You
don't
want
to
doctor
just
because
it's
soft
you
want
to
make
sure
that
you're
able
to
make
a
lifetime
commitment
for
these
little
fellas
and
she
deserves
to
have
someone
that
is
absolutely
committed
to
her,
providing
her
with
the
appropriate
size
environment
inside
the
house,
making
sure
that
your
bunny
proofing,
your
house,
there's
lots
and
lots
of
information.
I
can
go
on
and
on
forever
about
these
bunnies.
A
But
the
best
thing
to
do
if
you're
interested
in
adopting
a
rabbit
is
to
go
to
rabbit
org.
That
is
a
website
from
the
house.
Rabbit
Society,
there's
lots
of
different
chapters
throughout
the
United
States,
but
they're
truly
the
experts
when
it
comes
to
rabbits
and
Endor
having
these
guys
as
indoor
pets.
So
if
you
have
questions
as
a
rabbit
good
for
my
child,
is
it
good
if
I
have
a
dog
or
if
I
have
a
cat?
A
All
of
those
that
information
can
be
found
on
rabbit
org,
so
make
sure
you
check
that
out
before
you
consider
adopting
one
of
these
very
special,
unique
exotic
creatures.
Again
they
do
require
that
special
care.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
whenever
they
leave
our
shelter
here,
they're
getting
the
absolute
best
care
possible.
A
So
if
you're
interested
in
now,
let's
check
out
that
website
and
come
on
down
here
to
the
shelter
we'd
love
to
introduce
you
to
her
and
answer
any
other
questions
that
you
may
have
I'm
very
happy
to
report
that
max
the
other
bunny
that
was
here.
The
lion
head
that
you
saw
in
the
previous
show
has
been
adopted
to
a
wonderful
home.
That's
going
to
give
him
all
the
best
and
everything's
a
real
rabbit,
savvy
person,
so
I'm
really
happy
to
see
max
go
to
that
home.
A
But
we
also
have
another
bunny,
that's
available
here
in
addition
to
Alice
I
check
out
our
website
at
Ames,
Animal
Shelter
org,
and
you
can
see
all
the
animals
available
for
adoption
under
the
bunny
pictures.
If
you
click
on
the
rabbit
or
others
available
for
adoption,
you'll
be
able
to
see
both
the
bunnies
that
are
will
for
adoption,
and
one
of
them
here
is
Atlas.
Come
on
down.
A
A
Some
exciting
news
today
we're
getting
four
dogs
from
the
Joplin
Humane
Society
in
Missouri
they're,
really
full
and
you'll-
see
here
in
this
picture
that
just
some
beautiful
dogs
and
and
they're
so
full
at
that
shelter
that
they
called
us
asking
if
we
can
help
them
with
any
dogs.
So
we
really
appreciate
them,
making
the
effort
to
save
lives
and
in
our
ability
to
help
them
save
lives.
A
At
this
point,
we've
had
all
of
our
dogs
adopted
again,
which
is
a
pretty
common
thing
here,
and
we
just
don't
get
as
many
dogs
as
we
do
cats,
so
we're
very
fortunate
to
be
able
to
open
up
four
of
our
kennels
for
these
highly
adoptable
animals
and
hopefully
adopt
them
out
to
people
here
in
the
Ames
community
and
find
good
companions
to
be
part
of
their
family
so
proud
to
be
able
to
do
that
and
save
more
lives.
That's
what
we're
here
for
that's!
A
What
all
of
the
staff
here
are
passionate
about
is
how
many
lives
can
we
save,
and
what
can
we
do
for
each
animal
that
comes
in
here
to
make
sure
that
it
has
a
safe
outcome
and
that
we
can
put
it
into
a
situation
where
it's
going
to
be
better
off
than
when
it
was
running
loose
on
the
street
or
caught
in
a
trap,
whatever
we
can
do
to
help
these
animals?
That's
what
we're
here
for
so
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
your
support
and
allowing
us
to
do
that
here
in
the
Ames
community.
