Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yes, sir, it's over at Crunch Fitness heurance who falls
by the Empire mall. We take the community fitness room,
we fill it full of kittens, probably at least by
at least thirty of them tomorrow, and then we just
have a real light yoga class. So we open it
up to people and they can they can do yoga,
they can play with kitten, they can do a little
bit of both they like. So it's a fundraiser for us.
(00:50):
And then all the cats that are there are adoptable
as well. So if someone who's looking to meet a
kitten that matches with them a little bit, this is
a good opportunity to do. So there's a bunch of
them to choose from, and you get some one on
one interaction time with the kittens, which is cool.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
And this is not the first time Sue Empire TNR
has done kitt and Yoga. You've done this before, right, yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah, it's uh. I mean, we've been doing this since
we started, so, which would be three years now. Actually,
November this month marks three years of us being us.
We got our five zo one C three November three
years ago, so that's how long we've been doing kitt yoga.
Speaker 1 (01:27):

sounds amazing? How do they do this? Do they buy
a ticket advance? Can they just show up tomorrow? How
does it work?
Speaker 2 (01:34):

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Again, Kit and Yoga tomorrow. Now, let's talk about Sue
Empire TNR. Because I'm sure there's at least a few
people that are going what in the world. Is that
so you've been around three years. Let's talk about what
you do so at Sue Empire TNR.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Sure, well, we like to call ourselves feline welfare warriors.
We're basically feline welfare advocates here in the Sioue Empire
where a cat rescue. We're a TNR operation which is
trapped new to return aka population control for wildcats out there.
I guess I want to boil down to it, John,
people reach out to us, We're going to do what
(02:22):
we can to help the cat.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I love that. And if somebody listening would like to
get a cat or a kitten, this is a good
group to reach out to to adopt a cat or
kitten too, right.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
We have lots of them, yep. I think we have
over one hundred and fifty cats and kittens and rescue
right now, pretty much every making model. Obviously we don't
have designer cats. A lot of people ask for like
Maine coons and Sphinx cats and unfortunately we don't we
don't get those or if we do this very rarely,
but plenty of cute cats uh flu fers play Like
(02:50):
every making model. We have whatever you're looking for for
a cat, we likely have it.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And if somebody wants a kitten, you have kittens. So
if you're a kitten person, you've you've got kittens available.
But if somebody had maybe find it in their heart
to take an older cat, you've got some of those.
And I think that's wonderful for people to take an
older cat.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Oh, yes, because we have an abundance of those. You know,
we have a lot of mama cats. You know, we
take in pregnant strays and the kittens all find homes
because people love kittens, and then we end up with
this very social and loving mama and you know, so
we have plenty of those around. We have. You know,
we have a lot of people that surrender cats to
us for whatever reason. So I mean, yeah, like I said,
(03:28):
every making model and probably dating back probably fourteen fifteen
years old, we got a little bit of everything.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
So if you'd like to get a cat or a
kit and you can reach out to Sue Empire TNR.
