• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Gwen is here from the Humane Society and she's brought
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: with her. What's what's the cat's named.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Her name is.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Ginger, and Ginger is. We normally like to show you
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the animal, but she's a little shy.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: If you go to the radio from Hell or my instagram,
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Katie took a little real video you can see of Ginger.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: There, Ginger is. It makes me kind of sad. She's
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: all hunched up in there, like, oh, curled up. And
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: you said Ginger is normally very outgoing.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So yesterday we spent a little time with her
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: and she was sitting in my lap. She didn't mind
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: being held. But you know, sometimes cats don't love to travel,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: and you don't know until you get him in a car.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: So she is being a little camera shy this morning.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: She's traumatized by the car ride.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: She she needs a home with somebody's lap she can
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: sit on all the time. That's what we're looking for
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: for Ginger.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Ginger is an orange cat, and you were saying that's
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: rare for a female.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: It is rare. So most orange cats, orange tabbies are males.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I have I have Klaus's orange tabby.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and she's got like a longer, slightly puffier orange
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: tabby coat. She's about I think she was like ten
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: or eleven pounds right in between there. So she's a
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: decent sized kitty. She's eight years old. She previously lived
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: with kids and did well with them. She can coexist
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: with other cats in the home. What we did learn
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: is she is not a fan of automatic litter boxes.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Oh really, so you know, robots aren't her thing.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: She's old school. I'm with her. I just need a
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: pile of dirt and so so. Ginger, how long has
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: she been with you?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: You know, she hasn't been with us too long, about
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: a week or so. So you know, we'd love to
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: get her out quickly. She is on a special diet.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: We have done all the blood work. We'll send you
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: with the prescription that you need, and will actually send
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: you home with some of the food as well to
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: get you started.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Prescription is for the food.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's for urinary a specialized diet for urinary stuff. So,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: and you know that happens sometimes when cats get older.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: It's not a big deal. It's really not that much
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: more expensive. And you know, sometimes people worry about having
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: to go to the vet to get those prescriptions. But
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: one of the things we offer at the Humane Society
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: of Utah now in our clinics is wellness visits and
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: exam and so you can get her blood work done
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: there each year, and it's significantly less expensive than going
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: to a regular full service veterinarian. So you know, when
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: you need to take her in to get her vaccines,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: you could get that wellness appointment scheduled as well and
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: make sure you keep up on that prescription.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Ginger is a lovely cat, I can tell, but it
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: just makes me feel sad that she thought's are traumatized
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: by the car ride.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she know. She just wants a couch and maybe
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: a couple little feather toys. She was a big fan
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: of the wand feather toys. So but just you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: she'd be a great cat just to have to lounge
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: around with you while you're watching TV or yeah, you
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: need a TV buddy this.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: And Ginger is has chip micro chipped and all of that.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so she has Spade vaccinated, microchipped. Like we said,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: we'll send her home with a prescription and some diet
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: some of the food to get you started as well.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: So she is really all set to go in her
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: adoption FeAs name your own price. So yeah, maybe want
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Ginger to get get a home.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: That's yeah, and and and and it wouldn't hurt to
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: make a nice donation to the Humane Society when you
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: come and take Ginger home.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we always appreciate any help. You know, we are
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: a nonprofit. We received no government or federal funding or
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: national organization funding, so any little bit helps us take
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: care of these animals.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: If now people want to see Ginger or the other
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: there are. How many other cats do you have right now? Oh?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Gosh, you know, we do usually have quite a few cats.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I bet we have at least like a dozen listed
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: on our website right now. We're moving cats up every day.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Cats have actually become more popular as pats in the
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: last couple of years, so they do move through our
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: shelter pretty quickly, especially kittens. They'll fly out the door
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: usually with them like a day. You have kittens right
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: now currently not right now. Kitten season what we like
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: to call in animal shelters, when they you know, start
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: having babies all out in the community and they start
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: being brought to us, is usually around like April May Well,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: they'll get brought to us a little earlier, but they're
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: not old enough to be adopted yet. So kittens really
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: start showing up in shelters, you know, late spring, early summer,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: and we call it kitten season because we get inundated
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: and need all the supplies and extra help we can
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: get to care for a mom.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: So if you want to see what animals, if maybe
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you're interested in a dog, that's fine too. You can
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: go to the Humane Society website and there's a there's
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a rogues gallery of a lot of the air looking
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: at them right now.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: It's Utah Humane dot org. And you know, maybe you
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: can't adopt right now, there's a big purple donate button. Seriously,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: if you're an animal lover but you're not in a
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: position to adopt right now, maybe maybe think about just donating.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: But also think of this, what's one more cat in here?
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Come on, what is just one more cat?
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: You know, we really don't consider your crazy cat lady
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: until you get like five or Yeah.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Jimmy John says, her age is when they start wanting
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to hang out with you all the time and sit
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: on laps, So that's good. Yeah, And someone else says,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: adopting a senior cat was the best decision I ever made.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Oh nice. Yeah, Klaus has matured into you know, he
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: was we just had him as a foster and then
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: we just kind of liked him and kept him and
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: he's really matured now. Now he just wants to lay there,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you know, just I'm just going to lay around. That's
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: pat me a little bit, will you, Okay, Okay, that's good,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: thank you. So Ginger is available. Now, let's have Ginger
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: adopted by the end of the day. Let's do it.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: So just go to Utah Humane dot org. And if
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: you missed your chance at Ginger, there are others there. Yep.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at a bunch of them. And also, you
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: guys need volunteers from time to time.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, volunteers, fosters. You can read all about that on
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: our website. And again, you know, if Ginger gets adopted
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: or you're looking for another animal, our website updates every
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: thirty minutes, and we do move animals up every day,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: sometimes a few times a day, so it's really changing
• 6:27
