00:19muse and i am going to turn it over to leanne pua who is going to tell you all about the past year
00:25and all the good things that karmacat has done in the community thanks debbie so 2022 is definitely
00:32a busy year for karmacat and zen dog kicking it off with my favorite area we did tnr 255 cats
00:39and also helped our residents in middlesex county find four of their lost cats and got to return
00:45them back to their loving homes through our tnr efforts as well which was great we also had
00:49149 cats go into our foster homes and there were 44 different homes that opened up their space to
00:56give a loving and safe haven for the cats that are in our care where did we get those cats from you
01:01might be wondering well 79 of them came from shelter transfers 61 of them came from owner surrenders in
01:08our local area and then 41 of them were strays which were found outside that we were able to bring
01:13indoors and again get them adopted into loving homes we did end the year with the drum roll
01:20183 adoptions for 2022 which we were really proud of and we completed that through 518 adoption hours
01:30we were open to the public here at our beautiful facility mac and allowed folks to come in and see
01:35our space and meet our cats so all in all a really great year debbie and team and i'll pass it right
01:41back over to you it's just incredible you know we talk about this in every video that we do the amount
01:47of work that goes into everything that they do here at karmacat it is just you know flipping fantastic
01:53and you know we come in once a month and we get to hang out with the volunteers and we get to do our
01:58videos and play with the cats and meet the cats and nine times out of ten the cats wind up going home
02:04and by the next time that we come back we're like well where did this one go where the oh no they got
02:10adopted so it's all as i said good muse and you know leanne started off talking about foster cats
02:16and i'm going to turn it over to gina dwyer and she's going to actually tell you what they need
02:21volunteer wise as we head into the early part of 2023 and a lot of it does involve foster care
02:27so we have various needs right now um we are looking for foster families basically you just need a small
02:35space whether it's an extra bedroom or maybe a bathroom and everything else is provided and you
02:42take care of one of our cats temporarily until they're ready to move into the adoption center
02:48or until they're ready to be adopted we're also looking for cleaners we are looking for morning
02:54cleaners and it's only a two-hour commitment once a week not that big of a deal you get to come in
03:03play with the cats and you feed scoop litter boxes and just generally straighten up the room
03:09for the rest of the day and also we are looking for people that have talent to volunteer we're looking
03:18for people who have talent in marketing and graphics we need some help with that if you have skill at
03:27fundraising if you're a good writer and you can write a good story to get people to open up
03:32their wallets we're looking for that as well and we're also looking for a social media person or
03:40persons we're looking for people to help advertise upcoming fundraisers write about the cats that are
03:47available for adoption to get people to look at them and be interested in coming to meet them and just
03:55basically to manage our facebook page our instagram and keep us on the forefront of social media to keep
04:03bringing people here to meet the cats so if you're hearing a lot of noise in the background on this video

04:16being really quiet out there it's all these little critters that are running around and i have to tell you
