WEBVTT 00:00:11.050 --> 00:00:14.949 Welcome to Ruff Life. It is the first transport 00:00:14.949 --> 00:00:19.949 of 2026 and I wasn't even there for it. Can you 00:00:19.949 --> 00:00:22.269 believe that? And it's also Jessica's birthday. 00:00:22.370 --> 00:00:25.850 So not only did I miss transport, I missed Jessica's 00:00:25.850 --> 00:00:28.530 birthday. Super sorry about that. Everyone tell 00:00:28.530 --> 00:00:32.369 Jessica happy birthday in the comments. But I'm 00:00:32.369 --> 00:00:34.390 actually really upset. This was really upsetting 00:00:34.390 --> 00:00:38.409 for me because I genuinely love coming to transport 00:00:38.409 --> 00:00:42.549 and I love my job so, so much. But every single 00:00:42.549 --> 00:00:46.530 year we go to Opry land in Nashville and we see 00:00:46.530 --> 00:00:48.850 their ice exhibit, which is the coolest thing 00:00:48.850 --> 00:00:50.750 ever. If you guys have one local to you, make 00:00:50.750 --> 00:00:52.770 sure you go to it. It is so cool. We go every 00:00:52.770 --> 00:00:55.840 single year. This year we got Mary Sue the tickets 00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.179 for Christmas and we were supposed to go earlier 00:00:58.179 --> 00:01:01.719 in the week but one of Justin's co -workers got 00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:04.159 sick on New Year's Day and so then Justin had 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:06.480 to take over treating all of the co -workers 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.780 patients on top of his own patients so he was 00:01:09.780 --> 00:01:12.799 working crazy late hours and then it's a two 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:16.260 and a half drive for us just one way so we weren't 00:01:16.260 --> 00:01:18.180 able to go during the week like we had planned. 00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.140 and today was the last day for it and then you 00:01:21.140 --> 00:01:24.140 know it's just over anyways i really tore up 00:01:24.140 --> 00:01:27.359 about missing transport but in my defense in 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:29.780 the last 10 years that i've been doing this i 00:01:29.780 --> 00:01:33.459 have only missed three other transports One was 00:01:33.459 --> 00:01:35.400 when I had COVID and I still wanted to come, 00:01:35.420 --> 00:01:37.260 but my mom and Jessica wouldn't let me come, 00:01:37.459 --> 00:01:41.819 but I was fine. I could have come. One was when 00:01:41.819 --> 00:01:44.140 I was in the hospital having Mary Sue and one, 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:45.900 which shouldn't even count, but I'll throw it 00:01:45.900 --> 00:01:48.420 in there. I missed it because I was at the beach 00:01:48.420 --> 00:01:51.599 on vacation and we added the transport last minute. 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.900 So anyways, we had a great time. We just actually 00:01:55.900 --> 00:01:59.879 got back a few minutes ago. But I'm really sad 00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:02.060 that I missed transport. It was a good load, 00:02:02.219 --> 00:02:05.719 too. 32 puppies and 16 kittens, but, you know, 00:02:05.859 --> 00:02:08.259 adults thrown in the mix, too. I know I said 00:02:08.259 --> 00:02:10.300 last episode that I was going to jump on here 00:02:10.300 --> 00:02:13.080 and do a 2025 recap, and I still plan on doing 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:16.520 that. It may take me so long that it gets lumped 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:21.360 into a 2026 recap, too, but it really is on my 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.639 to -do list. Who knew that having a toddler over 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:26.610 the holidays would keep you so busy? not me, 00:02:27.090 --> 00:02:31.169 I had big plans to deep clean my closets over 00:02:31.169 --> 00:02:34.729 the break which definitely did not happen. I'm 00:02:34.729 --> 00:02:37.849 also thinking about doing like an intro episode 00:02:37.849 --> 00:02:40.830 so like I have the three longer ones that give 00:02:40.830 --> 00:02:43.129 the whole backstory of everything and how I got 00:02:43.129 --> 00:02:45.409 started and all that which you should definitely 00:02:45.409 --> 00:02:47.090 go check out if you haven't listened to those 00:02:47.090 --> 00:02:49.449 yet or even if you have just to get a refresher 00:02:49.449 --> 00:02:53.479 because they're great episodes, but I was thinking 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.400 of doing like a quick five to ten minute one 00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:00.000 about how the podcast itself works so like all 00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.539 first -time fosters could just jump on and listen 00:03:02.539 --> 00:03:04.360 to that super quick before they listen to their 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.000 episode just to like tell everyone who the key 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.020 players are why I don't say every animal's name 00:03:10.020 --> 00:03:12.719 every episode just I don't know things like that 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:16.949 but for now we'll just keep winging it the theme 00:03:16.949 --> 00:03:20.889 for today's transport is sitcoms because i needed 00:03:20.889 --> 00:03:23.969 to use the name friend for one of the animals 00:03:23.969 --> 00:03:26.289 and i couldn't think of anything else and we 00:03:26.289 --> 00:03:28.689 had already done a friends theme so like it couldn't 00:03:28.689 --> 00:03:33.050 just be friends but anyways let's get into it 00:03:33.050 --> 00:03:35.569 it's always sunny in philadelphia was dumped 00:03:35.569 --> 00:03:39.090 several weeks ago and he's already been through 00:03:39.090 --> 00:03:41.389 two homes two different families have quote unquote 00:03:41.389 --> 00:03:45.389 adopted him but No adoption took place. Before 00:03:45.389 --> 00:03:47.650 our rescue partner Tasha finally took him in 00:03:47.650 --> 00:03:49.289 and was like y 'all gotta stop bouncing this 00:03:49.289 --> 00:03:52.849 dog around. So she got him and then asked us 00:03:52.849 --> 00:03:56.039 to take him. All in the Family was found in the 00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:59.300 middle of the road by Tasha's daughter when she 00:03:59.300 --> 00:04:02.020 was on her way back from picking up the two pee 00:04:02.020 --> 00:04:05.400 puppies. So they are not related, they have nothing 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:07.340 to do with each other, but she was picking up 00:04:07.340 --> 00:04:10.060 the pee puppies and then on her way home saw 00:04:10.060 --> 00:04:12.099 All in the Family in the middle of the road and 00:04:12.099 --> 00:04:15.080 was like, all right, get in the car too. How 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.000 I Met Your Mother came up to a house and no owners 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.720 came forward after it was posted. New Girl was 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.120 found at a school along with Kate McAlister that 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.600 was found and sent on last transport. So if you 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.300 listen to that episode, they were seen together 00:04:30.300 --> 00:04:33.339 and then one rescue took New Girl and some other 00:04:33.339 --> 00:04:35.620 people took Kate and then we ended up with her. 00:04:35.819 --> 00:04:39.360 So I asked the other rescue if we could have 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.019 New Girl too. And they were like, yes, please. 00:04:42.540 --> 00:04:47.300 So I'm super glad that we got both of them. Friend. 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.100 OK, but. her actual wolf trap name is now Friends. 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:54.860 She is my bestie girl and the whole reason for 00:04:54.860 --> 00:04:57.759 this theme. I was also gonna do Hopper because 00:04:57.759 --> 00:04:59.980 she hops like an actual bunny when she runs and 00:04:59.980 --> 00:05:02.399 it is the literal cutest thing I've ever seen 00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.240 in my whole life. And then I was gonna do a Stranger 00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:09.060 Things theme with that because who else can't 00:05:09.060 --> 00:05:11.019 stop thinking about Stranger Things right now. 00:05:11.420 --> 00:05:14.560 But we've already done two Stranger Things transports 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:18.430 and it was my 20 -month -old baby. who named 00:05:18.430 --> 00:05:22.110 her friend anyway so we went with it. We just 00:05:22.110 --> 00:05:24.529 recently bought our house and moved in. We only 00:05:24.529 --> 00:05:27.730 know a couple like literally two of our neighbors 00:05:27.730 --> 00:05:31.730 but trust that I know every single dog on our 00:05:31.730 --> 00:05:36.149 road and all the dogs names. So when friend wandered 00:05:36.149 --> 00:05:38.529 up at the house next door to us I knew she was 00:05:38.529 --> 00:05:42.009 new. So she hung around for a few days before 00:05:42.009 --> 00:05:43.829 she eventually made her way over to my house. 00:05:43.870 --> 00:05:46.449 And then she started going between my house, 00:05:46.730 --> 00:05:48.910 my next door neighbor's house, and then the neighbor 00:05:48.910 --> 00:05:52.170 next to her. So three houses that she would run 00:05:52.170 --> 00:05:55.430 between. And like these are not neighborhood 00:05:55.430 --> 00:05:58.009 houses. Like there is quite a bit of distance 00:05:58.009 --> 00:06:00.839 between these houses. so the people directly 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.680 next to us we've never seen or spoken to but 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.540 they were really nice to friend and they let 00:06:05.540 --> 00:06:08.040 her like hide out in their carport her first 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.319 few days so i like them the people next to them 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.740 so one house away from me are super nice and 00:06:14.740 --> 00:06:17.480 they would keep friend in their house every night 00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.100 and let her like sleep in their bed sleep on 00:06:20.100 --> 00:06:22.889 their couch and then they would let her out when 00:06:22.889 --> 00:06:24.629 they would leave for work in the morning. And 00:06:24.629 --> 00:06:27.189 so then she would spend all day at my house. 00:06:28.009 --> 00:06:30.189 She'd sleep on my couch, sleep in my bed, play 00:06:30.189 --> 00:06:33.470 with my animals. And then she would head back 00:06:33.470 --> 00:06:36.990 to them sometime during the night. It was a great 00:06:36.990 --> 00:06:39.290 little system and they knew that I was planning 00:06:39.290 --> 00:06:41.370 to send her to Virginia on my next transport. 00:06:41.490 --> 00:06:44.290 So like, well, we were both fine, you know, just 00:06:44.290 --> 00:06:46.029 let her bebop around and she's such a good dog. 00:06:46.069 --> 00:06:49.919 We were like, yeah, this is a breeze. Well. apparently 00:06:49.919 --> 00:06:52.920 we have a Karen on our road and I can say that 00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:55.560 because I found out that her actual name is Karen 00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:00.240 otherwise I wouldn't have said that but She called 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.699 animal control and they came and picked friend 00:07:02.699 --> 00:07:05.339 up one day, which was devastating for me when 00:07:05.339 --> 00:07:07.399 I couldn't find her. But the joke was on them, 00:07:07.459 --> 00:07:10.720 though, because I had put one of my Wolf Trap 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.920 Foster air tag collars on friend. So literally 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:16.839 as soon as they got her to the shelter, they 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:18.500 called me and they were like, hey, we have your 00:07:18.500 --> 00:07:22.160 dog. And I went and got her. They hadn't even 00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.660 done an intake on her yet. so they asked me what 00:07:25.660 --> 00:07:27.660 they were calling her and what we were calling 00:07:27.660 --> 00:07:30.560 her and I said well Mary Sue named her friend 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.240 because when we were seeing her at first I would 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:38.300 go oh look at that sweet friend hi friend and 00:07:38.300 --> 00:07:40.100 Mary Sue would look for her if she wanted if 00:07:40.100 --> 00:07:42.279 she wasn't at our house when we would be outside 00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:47.269 and she would go oh no where friend go so friend 00:07:47.269 --> 00:07:50.430 is her actual legal legal name on all of her 00:07:50.430 --> 00:07:53.189 paperwork right now we don't know where she came 00:07:53.189 --> 00:07:56.029 from or how she ended up on our street we're 00:07:56.029 --> 00:07:57.850 pretty much out in the middle of nowhere so i'm 00:07:57.850 --> 00:08:00.790 sure she was dumped she did have a purple collar 00:08:00.790 --> 00:08:04.170 on her though but no tag no microchip i posted 00:08:04.170 --> 00:08:06.970 her the shelter looked for an owner too it's 00:08:06.970 --> 00:08:10.199 been Almost three weeks now and no one has come 00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:12.339 forward. So after the stray hold was up, which 00:08:12.339 --> 00:08:15.819 is only five days And she was officially mine. 00:08:15.899 --> 00:08:18.639 I sent her to the doghouse to stay until transport 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:24.100 just so Karen, when you have her sent back to 00:08:24.100 --> 00:08:27.680 doggie jail. But she has been so bored and so 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.759 lonely over there. So whoever is fostering her, 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.679 please promise me that you will not judge her 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.480 by her first like 48 to 72 hours with you. She 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:40.519 has got a lot of energy to get out of her system 00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:43.779 and a lot of snuggling to make up for. She is 00:08:43.779 --> 00:08:46.539 super sweet. She's a great dog when she calms 00:08:46.539 --> 00:08:49.850 down. She's great with all other animals. she 00:08:49.850 --> 00:08:55.649 was fantastic with Mary Sue. So she just needs 00:08:55.649 --> 00:08:58.070 a minute to get all of this out of her system 00:08:58.070 --> 00:09:00.429 and realize she has people that are gonna pet 00:09:00.429 --> 00:09:04.409 her for the rest of her life. I did make the 00:09:04.409 --> 00:09:06.690 joke to my mom though before animal control picked 00:09:06.690 --> 00:09:10.360 her up. that she is probably one of the few if 00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:13.059 not the only dog that was gonna be sad to be 00:09:13.059 --> 00:09:16.500 rescued and go to wolf trap because she had the 00:09:16.500 --> 00:09:18.759 best life going from home to home sleeping on 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.539 their couch sleeping on my couch eating my food 00:09:21.539 --> 00:09:24.779 eating their food until she got taken to jail 00:09:24.779 --> 00:09:26.840 then then i think she was ready for me to come 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:32.600 get her the p litter of two a pregnant mama dog 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:35.399 was dumped and had babies they are keeping the 00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:37.679 mom That is all the information I was given. 00:09:38.059 --> 00:09:40.139 I think there were more puppies and they gave 00:09:40.139 --> 00:09:43.299 them away, but we gave them a spay voucher so 00:09:43.299 --> 00:09:47.210 hopefully they will use it. The E letter of two 00:09:47.210 --> 00:09:50.049 were found roaming in a nearby town. A lady picked 00:09:50.049 --> 00:09:53.090 them up and then called one of our fosters. She 00:09:53.090 --> 00:09:54.889 went and got them, but supposedly there were 00:09:54.889 --> 00:09:57.350 two more that someone else had seen close by 00:09:57.350 --> 00:10:00.690 that we are assuming are siblings. No one has 00:10:00.690 --> 00:10:03.690 seen the other two since though, so I'm not sure 00:10:03.690 --> 00:10:06.529 if it was the same two and they were just confused 00:10:06.529 --> 00:10:09.389 or if there really are two more out there, but 00:10:09.389 --> 00:10:13.399 hopefully we get those other two. The T litter 00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.019 of three are owner surrenders, the mom is already 00:10:16.019 --> 00:10:20.399 scheduled for her spay. Modern family was found 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:23.820 pregnant and in active labor when a family went 00:10:23.820 --> 00:10:26.320 to clean their uncle's house after he had passed 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:30.379 away. They surrendered her and her four M puppies. 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:34.809 The S litter of six, the story goes that The 00:10:34.809 --> 00:10:37.110 mama started attacking the puppies when the puppies 00:10:37.110 --> 00:10:39.590 were about four weeks old so the family put the 00:10:39.590 --> 00:10:42.450 puppies out on the porch in the middle of a freezing 00:10:42.450 --> 00:10:45.330 spell that we were having so their neighbors 00:10:45.330 --> 00:10:48.009 called somebody and somehow they ended up with 00:10:48.009 --> 00:10:51.909 our bottle feeder foster. The bee litter of nine 00:10:51.909 --> 00:10:55.970 were dumped in the rain at the Alabama shelter. 00:10:55.970 --> 00:10:58.429 We love our Alabama shelter friends so very much 00:10:58.429 --> 00:11:01.750 but they don't always have a lot of information 00:11:01.750 --> 00:11:05.679 for their stories which is a bummer. as for the 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.240 cats. So the majority of the single cats are 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:11.720 all from our Alabama shelter friends too. Dick 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:14.120 Van Dyke Show was picked up as a stray by Animal 00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:16.820 Control, that's all we know. Young Sheldon was 00:11:16.820 --> 00:11:18.679 picked up as a stray by Animal Control, that's 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:22.139 all we know. King of Queens was brought into 00:11:22.139 --> 00:11:25.120 the shelter with kittens, all of her kittens 00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:28.100 were adopted, and then she was actually adopted 00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:31.700 herself a few weeks ago, but they brought her 00:11:31.700 --> 00:11:35.659 back and they said, we chose the wrong cat. And 00:11:35.659 --> 00:11:38.919 that was it, that was all the information. um 00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:41.700 letter kenny was picked up by animal control 00:11:41.700 --> 00:11:44.559 and brought to the shelter and he was skin and 00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:47.159 bones he was already neutered but no one ever 00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:50.980 came forward for him um the guy brought him because 00:11:50.980 --> 00:11:53.980 his friend trapped him and was about to shoot 00:11:53.980 --> 00:11:56.740 him for being on his property so his friend was 00:11:56.740 --> 00:11:59.080 like uh no you're not gonna shoot this cat i'll 00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:03.039 take him to the shelter Rules of Engagement was 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:06.179 found in a Walmart parking lot right before Thanksgiving. 00:12:06.379 --> 00:12:09.399 The finder took her home, kept her until a foster 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:12.679 spot opened up, and by foster spot I mean Jessica 00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:14.720 convinced her husband to let her bring a kitten 00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:19.919 home for the holidays. Veep was, I think Veep 00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:23.799 is the only, is the only one that I haven't seen 00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:26.659 that show of all the names that I picked. But 00:12:26.659 --> 00:12:29.259 it was on all the lists of like best sitcoms 00:12:29.259 --> 00:12:32.100 to watch. Veep was always on there, so I guess 00:12:32.100 --> 00:12:34.740 I need to watch it. Veep was an owner surrender 00:12:34.740 --> 00:12:38.139 along with several other kittens. Veep was one 00:12:38.139 --> 00:12:42.159 of two kittens left from a previous older litter. 00:12:42.299 --> 00:12:44.980 I think we have him estimated to be around eight 00:12:44.980 --> 00:12:48.059 months old. They were supposed to be surrendering 00:12:48.059 --> 00:12:50.440 both of the older ones to us, but when they showed 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.440 up they only brought one, just Veep. But then 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.049 there were four in the younger litter. When she 00:12:58.049 --> 00:13:00.769 asked us to take these kittens way back before 00:13:00.769 --> 00:13:03.230 Thanksgiving Jessica told her that it would be 00:13:03.230 --> 00:13:05.070 after the first of the year because I was on 00:13:05.070 --> 00:13:06.769 that kitten ban, you know, because I had sent 00:13:06.769 --> 00:13:08.769 so many kittens and then none got adopted until 00:13:08.769 --> 00:13:11.710 you guys got literally all of them adopted for 00:13:11.710 --> 00:13:15.120 me. But Jessica told her it would be after the 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:16.899 first of the year. And she said, OK, they have 00:13:16.899 --> 00:13:19.159 a cold. But then they talked about how well she 00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:21.159 was taking care of them. And, you know, she seemed 00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:23.039 like she was doing a great job. So we didn't 00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:25.620 think much about them for a while. But when we 00:13:25.620 --> 00:13:28.460 got them this week, the little ones are super, 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:31.620 super sick. They were also like as hungry as 00:13:31.620 --> 00:13:34.200 any kittens we've ever seen in our lives. Jessica 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:36.019 thought they were going to tear the bag of food 00:13:36.019 --> 00:13:38.159 apart before she could even open it and pour 00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:40.480 it out for them. The healthy kitten, though, 00:13:40.580 --> 00:13:43.509 Veep, is on transport today. but we held the 00:13:43.509 --> 00:13:45.490 sick kittens back just to get them fully well 00:13:45.490 --> 00:13:49.809 before they go. The C litter of two. This is 00:13:49.809 --> 00:13:51.710 the same lady that we were supposed to take a 00:13:51.710 --> 00:13:54.509 pregnant cat from last year but she couldn't 00:13:54.509 --> 00:13:56.590 get her hands on the cat the day of transport. 00:13:56.850 --> 00:13:58.970 We ended up taking the kittens when she had them 00:13:58.970 --> 00:14:01.690 because the mom wasn't feeding them. All the 00:14:01.690 --> 00:14:04.809 cats belong at an abandoned house across the 00:14:04.809 --> 00:14:06.970 street from this lady but they're basically hers 00:14:06.970 --> 00:14:09.690 at this point. She asked us to take this last 00:14:09.690 --> 00:14:12.139 litter before Thanksgiving but again we didn't 00:14:12.139 --> 00:14:15.220 have room some of them are too skittish and feral 00:14:15.220 --> 00:14:17.080 for her to get a hold of so we're going to try 00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:19.259 to work on them as soon as we clear out a foster 00:14:19.259 --> 00:14:22.240 spot they we were actually supposed to do that 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.519 this coming week after this transport leaves 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:26.559 but now we have those sick kittens that we're 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:29.500 working on um these two kittens the sea kittens 00:14:29.500 --> 00:14:32.500 are super friendly though we have everybody scheduled 00:14:32.500 --> 00:14:35.879 for spay next month so fingers crossed she can 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:37.840 get them there before they get pregnant again 00:14:39.139 --> 00:14:41.820 The W litter of three, someone heard them under 00:14:41.820 --> 00:14:44.659 a house. They left them there for about 24 hours 00:14:44.659 --> 00:14:46.580 hoping the mom would come back and then they 00:14:46.580 --> 00:14:49.080 finally crawled under there and got them. They 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:51.320 weren't eating because they were so teeny tiny 00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:54.460 so they reached out to our local cat rescue, 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:59.320 a 501c3 rescue, who supposedly told them that 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:00.679 they didn't have room and they couldn't take 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.740 them and so if the finder couldn't bottle feed 00:15:03.740 --> 00:15:05.860 them then they just needed to euthanize the kittens. 00:15:06.460 --> 00:15:11.179 So they didn't. They talked to our local crazy 00:15:11.179 --> 00:15:14.000 cat lady, not to be confused with an actual rescue, 00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:16.759 and they talked her into taking them. But when 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:18.799 she got them and she realized that they were 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:21.019 going to need to be bottle fed, she was not up 00:15:21.019 --> 00:15:25.159 for that. So she convinced our bottle feeder 00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:28.500 foster into taking them. So when she got them, 00:15:28.820 --> 00:15:30.559 she kept them for a little while, but they had 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.649 trouble putting on any weight. So Then Jessica 00:15:33.649 --> 00:15:36.809 took them quite a few weeks ago and they're still 00:15:36.809 --> 00:15:39.190 small for their age but they're healthy and they're 00:15:39.190 --> 00:15:41.690 playful and they are sick of being bounced around. 00:15:43.090 --> 00:15:45.789 The G litter of five were owner surrenders. The 00:15:45.789 --> 00:15:48.210 lady has apparently been trying to re -home these 00:15:48.210 --> 00:15:50.929 for a while. Her mom account has had multiple 00:15:50.929 --> 00:15:53.710 litters. She had her scheduled first by a few 00:15:53.710 --> 00:15:56.360 weeks ago. and when she got her there she was 00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:58.879 already pregnant again and too far along for 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:01.539 a spay abort. That litter ended up dying when 00:16:01.539 --> 00:16:03.980 they were just a few days old though and then 00:16:03.980 --> 00:16:06.899 over the holidays we had room to take this older 00:16:06.899 --> 00:16:09.500 litter. They have been very socialized and her 00:16:09.500 --> 00:16:11.580 grandkids love them so much but this lady knows 00:16:11.580 --> 00:16:13.899 that she cannot take care of that many cats and 00:16:13.899 --> 00:16:16.620 that many cats becomes many many more cats very 00:16:16.620 --> 00:16:19.320 very quickly. So we are working on getting the 00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:21.879 mom scheduled for a spay for real this time. 00:16:22.940 --> 00:16:26.120 That is all for today's episode. I hope that 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:28.039 everyone is super cute and adorable when you 00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:31.480 get them tomorrow. Tell them that I love them 00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:33.360 and I'm super sorry that I wasn't here to see 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.299 them off but I'm so happy that they have gotten 00:16:36.299 --> 00:16:39.720 their freedom ride. We have three weeks until 00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:43.899 our next transport so you all have enough time 00:16:43.899 --> 00:16:46.320 to foster these and then sign up for the next 00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:49.200 group coming on the 25th. I love when that happens. 00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:53.820 It's a Ruff life, but someone has to do it.
