Well, today is National Kitten Day. And what better way to celebrate than with a special edition of Paws and Pals. And we're joined by Rebecca Sele from the Ramapo Bergen Animal Refuge, Rebecca. Who do we have here with us today? So you have fry. Our special little boy and then I have here is and mozzarella for all of our favorite foods, healthy foods named after healthy. Of course, of course. Absolutely. Let's talk about fry first because I wanted to ask it looks like something. Um There's something with his eye. Where did you find him and what's going on? So he was from rescue from um a, a kill shelter without any outlet um for adoptions. Um He had at some point um when we first got him an eye infection in his left eye. So basically, what has happened is he's got a little bit of a scar on that eye. It's a little bit, gives him a little bit of a cloudy look, but he has perfect vision. Uh He has no problem and that will not be a lifelong issue. Um It's perfectly normal and he doesn't see it as any different or see it any different than any other kid. So, um he does not have any issue going forward. So, um it's just aesthetic and he came from another shelter that you rescued from. Yes. And uh these two are sisters. These are sisters. Ok, tell me about that. So they came, they were rescued by get to me and off the streets and um, they came to us pretty small. Um, so they went straight into foster and, um, spent several weeks in foster and before they came back to us, they are sweet and just so much fun. They love each other. They love other cats and literally they cuddle in the cage together. It's the most adorable thing. And so they're bonded, so they have to go together. Correct? Ok. And Fry can be on his own. Although I have to say one of our producers is really, oh, no. So, um, tell me who would be the perfect family for these kit kittens? Really? Anybody. Um, these guys are all very easy going, very friendly, very confident. So they really would do well in most homes. Um, they might be a little bit leery of dogs, you know, but that was something we would test them for if somebody had a dog in the home. Um, but honestly, they do really well, they play nice with everybody and, um, would probably even be going to look at so someone's watch watching right now and they're thinking you know what I do want to bring, uh, some of these kittens home. Uh What do they need to know about your organization and how to apply? So, basically they would just go to our website dot org. RBAR I dot org. And on there they go to adaptable and select available kittens or available cats. I'm sorry. And then it'll show you all the cats and kittens we have available for adoption. Then you can find who you just appeals to you the most. You submit an application. We are by appointment only right now. Ok. Um So you go and submit an application, we process your application and then once everything's been processed, we reach out to you and we send you a link so you can schedule an appointment to come in and meet all the kidney. How many cats do you have with your organization right now right now? Total. I have about 100 and 20. Wow, you have 100 20 cats looking for their forever homes right now. So some, not all of them, some of them are still in medical care right now. Um But ultimately, that's what we have, what we have at least probable, at least 65 cats looking for homes right now. Ok. Well, what better way than to help by adopting on National Kitten Day? So, Rebecca, thank you so much for coming. Mozzarella and Fry. Thank you for coming as well. And we're gonna have more information on our website at news 12 dot com. Fry now is done. He's like, ok, we're done with this segment. He wants to exit Nick.
