[00:02:48]No.

[00:02:53]Um But, all these cats are preparing their sanctuary for a uh lovely amount of people to come and celebrate them.

[00:03:09]So, you'll notice that we are getting everything ready, kind of uh preparing so that people can see what's going on in the sanctuary.

[00:03:23]We're adding informative signs. If you guys kind of have an idea of a sign you we think you think we should make, maybe we need to uh make it. Cuz remember, you guys, these are your cats, too.

[00:03:39]But, these are very important signs.

[00:03:45]And in case you didn't know, these are all the the social medias we're on.

[00:03:57]It's kind of a good sign.

[00:03:59]So, Fur Ball Fest is this Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 to 6:00 on Saturday and 1:00 to 5:00 on Sunday.

[00:04:12]Look at Mr. Fatty.

[00:04:18]And we will be celebrating 10 years of dedication.

[00:04:30]Right, Fatty?

[00:04:32]Is everyone letting me pet their stomach today?

[00:04:37]Look how handsome he is.

[00:04:42]Fatty, did you get overstimulated?

[00:04:47]Roses are red, violets are blue, stay off the turf so you don't step in poo.

[00:04:52]That would be kind of funny.

[00:04:54]Fatty, should we make a sign like that?

[00:04:57]I think he says yes.

[00:05:05]All right, let's go outside. It's a hot one, guys.

[00:05:11]Even the cats feel it.

[00:05:17]>> Fatty needs a sign saying "Do not feed me now."

[00:05:20]>> Yeah, Fatty does need a sign. She should wear or she should wear a sign that says "Insert treats here."

[00:05:28]Or Boris should walk around the sanctuary and it says "Insert Insert treats here."

[00:05:34]Don't you guys think?

[00:05:42]Look at all these cats.

[00:05:45]So, um Oh, there's Mama Mimi.

[00:05:55]We should have had a kissing booth, a hissing booth, right? You could Mama Mimi didn't want anything to do with me.

[00:06:02]Mimi.

[00:06:04]Uh We could have had a hissing booth. We could um have Chuck Norris and Moonshine in there.

[00:06:13]Oh my gosh, it's almost 100°.

[00:06:23]Isn't that crazy?

[00:06:27]It's a doozy.

[00:06:29]But the cats really like it.

[00:14:00]All right, we did get a new cat today.

[00:14:08]Look at all these guys.

[00:14:10]Hi kitties.

[00:14:14]See, where is she?

[00:14:17]Where's our new newbie?

[00:14:23]She must be under here.

[00:14:27]She's right under here.

[00:14:30]So you guys know we have our TNR program.

[00:14:34]Um Hi pretty girl.

[00:14:43]We have our TNR program on Thursdays and Tuesdays and sometimes Mondays and sometimes Fridays.

[00:14:50]It's a neuter program.

[00:14:52]And this sweet girl, she came through our TNR program.

[00:14:57]And when So when Dr. Ashley does uh gets ready for surgery, she does do a once-over on each cat to make sure like how everything is flowing. Remember she just had spay surgery, so she's a little out of it.

[00:15:17]But this girl, hi kitty.

[00:15:21]She said something.

[00:15:24]She is friendly.

[00:15:29]Um but this girl when Dr. Ashley did a once over she noticed that um she had a hip that wouldn't really move.

[00:15:43]So we did x-rays. Isn't that awesome that we do x-rays for a cat that needs it through our routine program. Looks like she had surgery. You guys see her her face.

[00:15:55]Um it was discovered that she had fractured pelvis that healed wrong.

[00:16:04]So we decided that she needed to become a Furball so that she can get uh surgery to get that healed in the correct way so she can walk better.

[00:16:15]And um so this is Great. Now she doesn't want to say hi to us anymore.

[00:16:25]But this is Raggedy Ann.

[00:16:29]She's kind of got a uh hard hard back history, right?

[00:16:41]This is Raggedy Ann.

[00:16:43]Isn't she cute? Oh, she's found a bed.

[00:16:47]Did you find a bed?

[00:16:57]Nice sweet girl.

[00:17:00]So she will be getting uh surgery at a later date to uh help her be able to heal more fully from uh the injury she did have.

[00:17:22]So, uh, today we had a total of 13 surgeries, I believe it was.

[00:17:30]Um, we had three neuters and 10 spays.

[00:17:39]So, there was lots of action going on, lots of baby making that was prevented.

[00:17:49]Yeah, lots of surgeries to make sure that the overpopulation of stray and feral cats is prevented.

[00:18:05]And Dr. Ashley is awesome. Yeah.

[00:18:08]She really is.

[00:18:11]So, she came from, uh, I can't reme- I think she was she was a stray cat in the, the area that somebody was has been working on um, TNR-ing.

[00:18:29]And we ended up taking her because of that, uh, injury.

[00:18:41]Isn't she cute?

[00:18:44]Yay, Doc Sterry, you became a member.

[00:18:48]Oh my gosh, Dunkel Plunkett.

[00:18:52]That's kind of what people would make fun of my last name with.

[00:18:58]Rude.

[00:19:02]Yeah, she is a sweet, a sweetheart.

[00:19:04]Normally cats that are sweet like this, uh, don't I mean, we don't have them in our mission, but she does have that uh bad hip injury.

[00:19:18]So, Uno is over here. She's Still, here's Miss Uno.

[00:19:29]Hi, Uno.

[00:19:36]There is Uno.

[00:19:42]Uno is doing good. Look at all these cats.

[00:19:45]So, we're still waiting uh Decker will be getting uh blood work done again soon.

[00:19:56]We're hoping that he his blood work checks out well.

[00:20:00]Hi, Decker.

[00:20:05]Isn't it awesome that uh we have spayed and neutered so many cats.

[00:20:15]Can you guys believe that?

[00:20:24]So cool that you are pettable.

[00:20:28]But, we are Whoop.

[00:20:32]Guy.

[00:20:47]Now, be nice to each other, children.

[00:20:51]Well, we'll leave Guy and Decker to duke this out themselves.

[00:21:04]No, I didn't like Decker looking at him.

[00:21:08]He smacked him in the face.

[00:21:13]Yeah, a guy must have personal space issues. He doesn't want anyone in his bubble.

[00:21:18]No popping of his bubble.

[00:21:22]It happens, right? I don't want people in my bubble too close, right?

[00:21:28]Sometimes you just like your personal space.

[00:21:32]All right, Goliath.

[00:21:36]Goliath.

[00:21:38]And he's so handsome. He's going to go eat treats now or soup. Where's SpongeBob? Oh, SpongeBob's up here.

[00:21:49]I think that he's just jealous and doesn't want um Decker to be petted. I think that's what it is.

[00:22:02]Hi SpongeBob.

[00:22:05]Hi.

[00:22:09]So, SpongeBob is a recent tripod.

[00:22:14]He's Sponge Boots now, right?

[00:22:44]Vader.

[00:22:45]Did you get a a special red collar just for you?

[00:22:52]Yeah, maybe Guy isn't wearing deodorant, so he wanted his personal space so nobody could smell him.

[00:22:59]Maybe Yeah, what it is.

[00:23:03]Hi Vader.

[00:23:08]Vader, why do you hiss at me? I was just trying to be nice to you.
