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
very
special
kitty
with
us
here
today
is
Jenni
she's,
definitely
on
the
she's
a
little
on
the
shy
side,
so
she's
looking
for
a
way
to
get
away
from
the
camera
and
the
lights,
but
a
very
sweet
and
gentle
cat
as
much
as
she
wants
to
get
away.
She
never
does
anything
and
appropriately.
She
just
looking
for
a
place
to
escape.
A
Jenni
is
probably
don't
tell
all
the
rest
of
the
cats,
but
Jenni
is
my
favorite
Kitty
right
now
and
I'm
trying
really
hard
not
to
take
Jenni
home
myself.
It's
just
really
sad
to
see
her
here
in
the
shelter
and
I'm
I
was
gonna.
Let
her
hide
if
she
wants
to
it's
just
really
sad
to
see
a
cat.
That's
11
years
old.
She
was
surrendered
by
her
owner
because
of
their
living
situation,
so
they
could
no
longer
have
her
and
I
had
to
surrender
here
to
try
to
find
a
forever
home
for
her.
A
That
could
keep
her
for
the
rest
of
her
life.
So
again,
Jenni
is
this
beautiful
long,
haired
kind
of
tabby,
tortie,
beautiful
cat
kind
of
resembles
a
Maine,
oh
I,
know
I,
know,
you're
scared,
beautiful
cat,
again
long
hair,
so
she's
gonna
need
a
lot
of
brushing.
She
does
have
a
few
areas
that
are
a
little
mad
at
up
that
we're
gonna
get
those
all
brushed
out
for
her
and
be
a
great
job
for
some
of
our
volunteers.
A
Jenni
has
lived
with
dogs,
she's
also
lived
with
cats,
other
cats.
So
if
you
have
a
home
that
has
other
dogs
and
cats,
she
might
be
a
great
addition
for
you
again.
She
is
a
very
gentle
cat
again,
the
shelter
environments
just
really
hard
on
her.
She
lived
in
a
home
for
a
it's
okay.
She
lived
in
a
home
for
a
very
long
time
and
now
she's
homeless,
and
just
really
scared
about.
A
What's
going
on
around
her,
so
we're
gonna
make
her
feel
safe
and
comfortable
and
do
all
we
can,
but
it's
not
the
same
as
being
in
a
home.
So
we
hope
that
she's
relaxing
a
little
bit
now.
We
hope
that
Jenny
will
find
a
home
very
soon,
because
I
already
have
a
few
cats
and
really
don't
want
to
take
Ginny
home,
but
I'd
hate
to
see
these
older
cats
get
passed
by
when
everybody
is
looking
at
the
kittens
that
we
have
and
she
really
is
a
sweet
cat
that
deserves
a
loving
home.
A
That's
gonna
take
care
of
her
keep
her
safe,
keep
her
indoors.
She
is
front
declawed.
She
does
have
her
back
claws.
Of
course
she
came
in
that
way
to
us,
because
we
would
never
do
that
surgery
here,
but
definitely
a
sweet
gentle
kitty.
If
you're
interested
in
Jenny
come
on
down
to
the
shelter
love
to
introduce
you
to
her,
so
she
can
say
hi.
A
A
Unfortunately,
her
husband
didn't
get
dinner
that
evening
because
she
had
to
stop
and
save
Moonbeam.
But
Moonbeam
is
a
very
special
kitty.
I
know:
I
say
that
about
all
of
them,
but
Moonbeam
came
into
us
and
had
an
upper
respiratory
infection
and
it's
probably
a
chronic
condition
that
was
never
treated,
and
if
the
owners
kept
her
indoors,
they
probably
noticed
how
she
was
and
hopefully
get
her
to
a
vet
for
treatment.
But
unfortunately
that
never
happened,
so
she
does
have
somewhat
of
a
chronic
condition.
She
is
currently
on
medications
here
for
that.
A
We
think
there
might
also
be
some
allergies
involved,
so
the
vet
does
they've,
run
some
diagnostic
tests
and
done
what
we
can
to
make
sure
that
she's,
comfortable
and
really
the
only
thing
with
her
is
that
she
does
sneeze
from
time
to
time
and
has
some
discharge
but
she's
doing
much
better
than
when
she
first
came
into
us.
So
Moonbeam
here
is
she's
still
in
our
isolation
area.
But
if
you
were
interested
in
this
beautiful,
solid
white
cat,
she
is
available.
A
We'd
probably
recommend
that
she'd
be
the
only
cat
in
the
household,
we're
not
entirely
sure
and
the
vets
not
sure
if
she
would
be
contagious
to
other
cats
if
it's
just
allergies,
that
wouldn't
be
contagious,
but
if
she
does
have
a
viral
outbreak
of
upper
respiratory,
you
know
that
is
something
obviously
that
another
cat
could
catch.
So
it's
important
that
you
know
we
don't
want
to
get
too
sick
kitties.
We
already
have
one
here
but
again,
she's
recovering
really
well
with
the
treatment
so
far
a
very,
very
sweet
kitty.
A
A
But
again
we
want
that
to
be
an
indoor
home
where
you
know
she
does
break
with
a
cold
that
someone's
going
to
take
the
time
and
the
finances
to
take
her
in
to
the
vet
and
have
her
seen
to
make
sure
that
she's
getting
the
antibiotics
and
things
that
she
may
need
to
recover.
So
if
you're
interested
in
moonbeam
come
on
down
to
the
shelter.
A
And
our
final
guest
for
today
we
periodically
show
our
working
cat
program,
also
known
as
a
barn
cat
program.
So
here
we
have
Jordan.
Jordan
came
in
to
us
in
a
trap.
She
was
trapped
up
near
ADA
Hayden,
so
we
got
her
spayed
I
had
her
tested
for
a
feline,
leukemia
and
feline
AIDS.
She
came
back
negative
for
that.
So
we're
pleased
to
know
that,
but
she's
a
cat
that
would
not
be
suitable
to
live
in
a
home
environment
she's
just
not
very
friendly.
A
She
hasn't
been
socialized
with
people,
so
she's
just
afraid.
Everything
scares
her.
So
we're
going
to
keep
this
kind
of
short
because
all
the
lights
and
the
cameras
are
probably
scaring
her
a
bit
and
we
don't
want
to
cause
any
extra
stress
to
her.
But
we
also
want
to
talk
about
the
program,
so
we
can
get
people
interested
and
see
if
there
are
people
out
there
that
are
looking
for
barn
cats
are
working
cats.
A
So
Jordan
now
is
here
at
the
shelter
she's
part
of
the
working
cats
program,
we're
very
fortunate
through
the
wonderful
donations
that
we
receive
here
that
we
get
her
spayed
get
her
the
vaccinations,
the
the
feline
leukemia
feline,
AIDS
testing.
All
of
that
is
done
and
there's
actually
no
charge
to
the
adopter
if
they
want
to
provide
a
foreign
farm
home
or
a
barn
home
situation
for
Jordan
or
any
of
the
cats
that
we
have,
and
we
do
have
one
other
cat.
That's
probably
going
to
be
part
of
that
program.
A
A
Of
course,
here
in
Iowa,
with
our
extreme
temperatures,
extreme
heats
and
extreme
colds,
it's
important
that
they're
provided
with
that
water
in
the
wintertime.
You
can't
let
that
water
freeze,
you
need
to
have
a
heated
water
bowl,
so
these
are
all
things
that
we
want
our
farm
owners
and
barn
cats
to
go
into
an
environment
where
they're
going
to
be
cared
for.
We
don't
want
them
to
rely
on
eating
mice.
We
want
them
to
have
nice
good,
wholesome
food
inside
the
barn,
where
they're
safe
from
the
elements,
but
a
lot
of
times.
A
Just
the
cats
presence
in
your
barn
will
help
to
control
the
rodent
population.
So
they're
not
supposed
to
live
off
mice
and
rats.
It's
really
just
the
smell
of
them
will
help
to
keep
the
rodents
at
bay
and
hopefully
get
them
to
move
on
to
different
environments.
So,
again,
Jordan
is
available
to
a
barb.
Can
we
do
have
applications?
We
have
people
fill
out
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
someone's
going
to
provide
everything
that
they
need.
We
don't
just
go:
throw
them
onto
a
farm
property
and
hope
for
the
best.
A
We
have
a
whole
program
where
we
loan
out
the
equipment,
keep
them
in
the
barn
confined
for
a
short
period
of
time,
typically
10
days
to
two
weeks,
keeping
them
inside
a
large
dog
crate
as
well
as
keeping
them
in
these
feral
boxes.
There's
a
side
door
here
that
opens
up
so
they
can
come
in
and
out,
but
they're
still
within
that
large
dog,
where
they
have
a
litter
box,
access
to
food
and
water.
So
that's
really
trying
to
get
them
used
to
the
sights.
A
The
sounds
everything
in
that
farm
area
to
make
them
feel
comfortable
to
where,
hopefully,
when
they're
released
from
that
they're
gonna
stay
around,
there's
always
a
chance
that
they
may
leave,
and
you
may
not
see
them
again.
The
good
thing
is
that
Jordan
has
been
spayed,
so
she's
not
going
to
be
reproducing
and
giving
us
more
kittens
out
there.
That
shelters
can
barely
handle
right
now.
A
A
We
have
opened
up
our
shelter
and
working
with
the
Animal
Rescue
League,
who
is
down
in
Texas
dealing
with
the
situation
with
a
storm
hurricane
Harvey
that
was
caused
and
a
lot
of
homeless.
Animals
are
looking
for
help.
I
know
their
shelters
across
the
United
States
that
are
helping
out
and
we're
very
happy
that
the
Ames
Animal
Shelter
is
going
to
step
up
and
be
able
to
take
in
some
of
those
animals
as
well.
A
So,
as
most
of
you
know,
we're
a
really
small
shelter,
so
we
can't
save
a
ton
of
them,
but
it's
sure
to
make
a
difference
to
the
ones
that
we
can
take
in
here.
So
we're
coordinating
that
through
the
Animal
Rescue
League
in
Des,
Moines
they're,
actually
on
the
ground
down
there
in
Texas
and
I've,
been
in
communication
with
them
and
will
hopefully
be
getting
some
animals
coming
in
from
them.
A
So
we're
going
to
work
with
some
other
groups
as
well
and
see
how
we
can
help
out
we're
glad
to
be
able
to
do
that
and
there's
a
lot
of
homeless
animals
and
people
in
such
a
horrible
situation
down
there,
that
our
thoughts
are
with
all
those
people
and
those
animals
that
are
displaced
because
of
the
storm
and
really
happy
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
help
out
some
of
those
people.
I
also
wanted
to
mention
right
now.
We
currently
have
ten
rabbits
at
the
shelter
and
twelve
guinea
pigs.
A
So
that's
probably
a
definitely
record
for
us,
so
10
rabbits
12
guinea
pigs.
They
all
need
homes,
we're
really
trying
to
get
them
adopted
into
pairs.
They
do
best
when
they're
adopted
in
pairs.
So
if
you're
interested
in
either
guinea
pigs
or
rabbits
come
on
down
to
the
shelter
we'd
love
to
talk
to
you
about
them.
A
Also,
when
I
put
a
special
thanks
out
there
to
the
Iowa
farm
animal
sanctuary,
we
recently
picked
up
if
you've
been
keeping
an
eye
on
our
Facebook
page
picked
up
a
baby
pig
that
was
on
Interstate,
35
and
I
brought
it
here
to
the
Iowa
State
University,
to
be
examined
by
a
large
animal
vets.
Even
though
we
named
her
fern
firm
was
just
a
big
little
pig.
A
But
the
large
animal
vets
take
a
look
at
her
and
thankfully,
her
fall
from
the
truck
did
not
cause
too
many
injuries,
and
we
put
a
plea
out
there
on
Facebook,
and
so
many
people
recommended
the
Iowa
farm
animal
sanctuary
and
they
actually
came
in
yesterday
and
took
her
and
picked
her
up
here
at
the
shelter
and
took
her
to
their
sanctuary.
So
we're
gonna
definitely
keep
people
updated
about
fern
and
keep
an
eye
on
the
Iowa
farm
animal
sanctuary
website,
as
well
as
their
Facebook
page.
A
But
we'll
keep
you
updated
on
firm
and
fern,
and
thank
you,
everybody
for
the
well
wishes
and
hoping
that
she
recovers
and
finds
that
appropriate
environment
for
her.
So
we
were
very
happy
to
rescue
fern
and
happy
that
she's
going
to
be
able
to
live
out
the
rest
of
her
life
and
a
sanctuary.
So
thank
you
to
all
of
those
that
are
involved
and
thank
you
for
watching
today's
show
and
again,
if
you're
looking
for
guinea,
pigs
or
rabbits,
we
are
the
place
to
go.
