I want to show everybody a, uh, a picture here of Benny while you, uh, while you talk to us about w- what role does rescues like Cat Paws play when situations like Benny's come to light?

Yes.

This, uh, this particular photo is after he had, uh, a- another, this was not his first, another hip surgery to repair the pelvic fractures and damage that he sustained from being-Thrown against walls, you know, beaten, kicked, uh, as the case may be throughout his kittenhood.

So rescue organizations like ours, it will partner and work hand-in-hand with the shelters, because the shelters, it, it can only do so much.

And what they did was the initial stabilization and, and intervening in the, in this case.

And he, he was in- he- once he was in the shelter he was safe, but obviously he can't stay in the shelter forever.

Shelters have limited resources and capacity for medical care.

Right.
