00:00Hey, thanks so much for watching our latest Kitty Corner Kennel Club video here at magic983.com.
00:09I'm Debbie Mazzella, and it's always a great afternoon when you get to spend it at Karmacat
00:13Zen Dog Rescue Society, and there is so much going on. We are actually going to introduce
00:18you to a newbie, and we're not talking about a cat, okay? We're talking about a human,
00:22and you're going to want to meet her, but we are going to lead off with something special
00:26that Karmacat is doing once again, and it is the pet portraits. Now, you may think,
00:32wait a minute, are they going to be painting? What are they going to be doing? Follow along
00:37on the video and look at these photos. You can make one of these for a great Christmas present
00:42for yourself or for somebody else, and all you have to do is submit your pet's photo,
00:47and it's $25 for it, and I'm telling you, they come out fantastic. Look at the photos here on the video.
00:53I guarantee you'll get a chuckle or two, and you could do a cat or a dog, or cat and dog,
00:58doesn't matter, but definitely do it. It's running between now and November 30th, so $25,
01:04karmacatzendog.org, or right here at magic983.com. We can hook you up with the link.
01:10So with me today is Gina Dwyer, and we always talk to you about volunteer opportunities here
01:14at Karmacat, and she's going to tell you what they're looking for for this month.
01:18So I'm here twice a week taking photos of the cats and hanging out with them,
01:23spending time with them, and right now we're looking for morning cleaners. It's about a two-hour
01:29commitment twice a month, and we're also looking for fosters to care for our cats while they wait
01:37to be adopted. Karmacat covers all of their needs, food and litter, and basically you just give them
01:45a spare room or a bathroom and lots of love and affection until they're ready to be adopted.
01:52We're also looking for people to join our merch team. We are looking for people to help out at
01:58merch events or people to craft, and all of the proceeds go to Karmacatzendog.
02:04And we've got something really special to tell you about that involves the merch
02:09that Karmacat Zen Dog Rescue Society sells here. So we will save that for the end of the video,
02:15a little teaser. Right now we're going to turn it over to Crystal Hazard, who's got some exciting
02:19info about fundraising, and she's going to introduce you to a really cool human who's a newbie here at
02:25Karmacat. Thanks, Debbie. Yeah, so it's getting towards the holiday season, and we know everybody's
02:32going to be celebrating Thanksgiving in later November, and there's Thanksgiving and then Black
02:38Friday, and then you go shopping on Cyber Monday, which is really big right now. And then after you
02:45bought all sorts of stuff for yourself and your family, it's time to do a little giving and show
02:49a little gratitude. So that's what we've got Giving Tuesday for, which is the Tuesday right after
02:53Thanksgiving. So we celebrate this every year. It's a huge fundraising day for us. We do a countdown
02:59on social media, and we love to show what we're grateful for, and that's the theme we're going
03:03with this year. So every day you're going to get some info about us, the things we're grateful
03:07for, which is you, by the way. And we're going to be raising some money to help our organization
03:14keep doing what we do best, which is save lives. And so speaking of what we're really grateful
03:20for right now, I'm going to give you guys a little heads up, and that is our new Meltown
03:25Center Manager. And this is Anjali. She joined us in September, and we're really excited to
03:31have her. So I just joined in in September as the Adoption Center Manager, and part of my
03:36job is managing this space, making sure the cats have everything that they need here, working
03:41with volunteers, and also helping people adopt the cats. So it's really something that I love
03:47doing. I love cats, obviously. That's why I'm here. And I'm so happy to be part of this
03:54team. You know, we do such great things here, and it's really fulfilling to be part of something
03:58like that, where we get to save these lives, and get cats adopted, and just form these bonds
04:03with people and animals. And I'm really grateful to be here.
04:07Did you hear her on the mic? I mean, she's fantastic. She's going to take my job next month. I'm just
04:12going to show up, play with the cats, and Anjali is going to do the entire video by herself.
04:16We'll swap for a month. Oh, good. Yeah, we could definitely swap. We hand over the mic,
04:21all of a sudden, her voice is booming, and everything's great. It's like, okay, I don't
04:26need to be here. I could just go play with cats all day, so it's fine. So we told you about
04:31merch, okay? And we've got something really special that is coming up on December 3rd. It's
04:36a Saturday, Catterday, and it's going to be between noon and 3, and it's a Route 516 Animal
04:41Hospital in Ulbridge, and it is the pet photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus. So we would love
04:48for you to come by, support Karma Cat Zen Dog Rescue Society, bring your pet to have a photo
04:54with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and the proceeds that are raised, there's going to be another
04:58rescue there, and Karma Cat Zen Dog Rescue Society. So the proceeds raised that day get
05:03split between both rescues. So we could have some fun for a couple of hours. Magic 98.3 is
05:08going to be there. We will have some prizes and raffles, and there'll be refreshments
05:12and hot cocoa, and of course, lots of talk about our furry companions who we love more
05:19than anything. I always say that we don't deserve animals because they're just so good
05:23to us, but bring your pets that day. We will have all the info on the events page at magic983.com,
05:29but that's another way that you can come out and support Karma Cat Zen Dog Rescue Society.
05:34So thank you so much for watching. If you're interested in any of the photos of the cats here
05:38on the website, or if you're interested in any that you see on the video, you can link
05:43up with them through our site here, magic983.com and karmacatzendog.org. Thanks so much for watching.
05:50We will catch you next month here for another Kitty Corner Kennel Club video at magic983.com.
06:08And then, after we do our video, we're going to go sit on one of those hammocks and just
06:19pretend we're on a desert island somewhere, and someone's going to come in and pet us
06:24and feed us, and life's going to be good. That's the dream. Living the dream.
