00:00and if you are seeing me smile you know I am at my home away from home Karma Cat
00:09Rescue Society in Milltown I'm Debbie Mazzella thank you so much for watching
00:13our brand new kitty corner video here at the Mac Center and we are going to show
00:18you some featured adorable adoptables it is springtime well almost springtime and
00:23it is the middle of March so we've got a lot of events to talk about we're going
00:27to start off with that including March 20th at Bell Works and Homedale and
00:31also April 6th the Trenton Punk Rock flea market from 10 to 5 in Trenton always a
00:37fun event April 20th it is the Grissom PTA spring vendor and craft fair at Carl
00:42Sandburg Middle School in Old Bridge and that's going to be between 10 and 4 so a
00:46lot of events where you can check out the merch that Karma Cat has for sale learn
00:50about the adorable adoptables and maybe even some volunteer opportunities so
00:55with that I am going to turn it over to Janine and she's going to tell you all
00:58about what they're looking for this month at Karma Cat so we're always looking for
01:03volunteers one of our biggest needs right now is for people to come and help to be
01:09cleaners and help keep our adoption center in amazing shape it's it's um lovely
01:14beautiful super clean here because of all of our dedicated volunteers so the times
01:19that we could use some extra help for cleaning our Tuesday evenings if you're
01:25free Monday mornings or Saturday mornings and then of course fostering is
01:31incredibly important that's one of the best ways to help save a cat's life by
01:36being a temporary foster until they can find their forever home and then you can
01:42always help with our many fundraising fundraising events and our merch events
01:47like Debbie talked about or you can even help plan some of our big adoption events
01:51so there's two coming up or we've got some great adoption specials so we're
01:57having one big day that's going to be Saturday April 6th with a special adoption
02:04rates and discounts it'll be like a little party here and then we're having a
02:08big adoption weekend the first weekend of May May 3rd through the 5th of course you
02:14can always you're always welcome to come in and adopt one of our cats and then we'll
02:18have some special events on those days and that we have one more volunteer
02:22opportunity we could use a volunteer coordinator to help coordinate all of our
02:28many volunteers and positions so at the best way to also keep an eye out for what
02:34our volunteer needs are are on our socials or on the magic kitty corner so next I'll
02:39send it back to Debbie so we were talking about merch events where you can support
02:45Karma Cat Rescue Society and there are so many other ways that you can support your
02:49favorite rescue here in Milltown and one of them is to sponsor a townhouse or one
02:55of the condos here and I'm actually going to turn it over to one of the board of
02:59directors Jason Paddock and he's also the director of marketing at George Street
03:02Playhouse he is a good friend to Karma Cat a good friend to me and magic 98.3 and he's
03:08going to tell you why he chose to sponsor one of the condos and how easy it was
03:13thanks Debbie it's so great to be here with you in one of my favorite places all
03:18the kitties so yeah a great way to support Karma Cat and everything that we
03:22do here on a monthly basis is to sponsor one of our townhouses or one of our
03:27apartments and that is what my wife Risa and our lovely handsome tabby boy
03:32Maxwell have done as we stand right in front of ours here and you can go right
03:37to karma cat org it's very easy to sign up for a monthly donation set it up
03:43through PayPal it's super easy you set it up you don't have to think about it and
03:46then every month that money goes to offsetting the costs of housing the cats
03:51feeding the cats medical services everything that we need to get everybody
03:56here ready to find their forever home and become a fun and exciting member of
04:02somebody's family going forward so super exciting it's very fulfilling to us to
04:07come here we always come probably like once a month to see who's living in Max's
04:13little condo and we joke that you know they deserve to come home with us every
04:19time you know because if they're living in our condo then they should come home with
04:22us so anyway but support karma cat every month it's a great way to be involved and
04:27thanks Debbie for all you do for us too well I want to ask you you guys were
04:32looking for a pet and you chose to come in to karma cat what were some of the
04:38reasons that brought you to the max Center and did you fall in love with max
04:42immediately so the first reason is because we have been friends for a long
04:48time and so I knew you're very involved here so immediately followed
04:52karma cat on Facebook and on Instagram and just fell in love with all the
04:57kiddies and then when it was time to adopt it was actually during pandemic about a
05:02year in and so our experience was a little bit different than it is now but I
05:08called up I said I had a tabby boy when I was younger kind of would like
05:13another tabby boy and they hooked us up with max whose name was more month at the
05:19time which is a Game of Thrones thing I guess I don't know but apparently yes I
05:24get the house of yes oh yes well that yes it's very different yes but yeah so we
05:31actually met over zoom and he was gonna like walking back and forth across the
05:35screen but yeah when we came here we met him here at the adoption center and it
05:41was love at first sight I scooped him up he's a very chatty little boy big boy
05:44actually and no it's a great place here to come and meet the cats get to interact
05:50with them see who's a right fit for you you know of course cats all have their
05:55own very unique personality so it's great to come here and meet them all and see
05:59who would be a best fit for your family but yeah that's how it worked for us and
06:02we took him home and yeah we haven't brought him back because we love him so
06:07much so only to visit his townhouse yes right yes we'd love to do that yeah so
06:12you see I mean here's such a success story and we're working on convincing
06:17Jason to adopt a buddy for Mac so he we brought him here today to talk to you
06:22about the kitty condos and the townhouses and being a sponsor but our real reason
06:27was to introduce him to the newbies here and maybe he would bring one home and you
06:31know Jason's one of these guys like he followed all of the directions and all of
06:34the things you know when when you adopt a cat a dog any animal it takes them a
06:40little bit of time to get used to your routine and you know you think about it
06:43they're here at the rescue and all of a sudden they're in your home it's quite a
06:47transition for the animal think about it as if somebody is ringing your doorbell
06:50you open the door and you say hey come on in and you just bring them in
06:54without any knowledge of what you do on a daily basis what your routine is in the
06:59house so the animals take a little time to get used to you as well and Jason and his
07:03wife Risa were so good about just following all the tips and everything
07:07that they gave him here at Karmacat and Max is just so happy in their house so
07:11we're gonna work on this after we're done filming and I'll take some
07:15some photos and we'll have them on the page for you to check out see which one
07:19we'll have a little game which one is the right fit for Jason so we're also
07:23going to talk about adorable adoptable speaking of and we are going to turn it
07:27over to the woman who knows all about them and a whole lot more she doesn't
07:32divulge their secrets she hangs out with them weekly here at Karmacat and that
07:36would be Gina thanks Debbie so this month we have Sam Adams if you're
07:44interested in a chunky cow kitty boy who is super cuddly loves to be brushed and pet
07:51and pampered I mean who doesn't Sam would like to be your only pet he's not the
07:57biggest fan of other cats but he loves people and he will give you all of his
08:02love and affection next up we have Victoria Victoria is seven years old and she is
08:09super sweet and super gentle she's a calico dilute calico absolutely gorgeous
08:17very sweet would prefer a home that is calm and chill and she loves to sit by you
08:23when you watch TV or listen to music and just hang out and then we have Brenda
08:29Brenda is three and a half and her personality is somewhat similar to
08:33Victoria she is sweet and she's gentle and she loves to cuddle and she loves to
08:39hang out and she would be a perfect match for a calmer less hustle and bustle type home if
08:47you're interested in any of our adorable adoptables including Sam Victoria or Brenda
08:53you can follow us on socials and you can check the karmacat.org website or the
09:00kitty corner page here at magic 98.3 so like I said our goal was to get Jason to
09:06go home with a buddy for Mac so we are going to head to that fun part but if
09:12you are interested in any of the cats the volunteers already have homes but if
09:16you're interested in any of the cats that you see in the video or even on the
09:19kitty corner page please contact karmacat they will set you up with a meet and
09:22greet in person this time and you can meet and take home your next very best
