OUT
OUT MY
OUT MY WELL THEY NAP IT UP THEY SCRATCH IT UP THEY GOT SOME FUR THEY LOVE TO PURR.
THAT'S RIGHT I'M TALKING ABOUT
CATS FROM RAPPER TO TRAPPER.
THIS NEXT GUY HE AIN'T SHY
ABOUT WHY HE LOVES THEM KITTIES
.I'M TALKING ABOUT STERLING
DAVIS, THE TRAPPER KING. GOOD
MORNING TO KING. GOOD MORNING.
OH YOU FOR HAVING SO I ALREADY
TOLD YOU IN THE COMMERCIAL
BREAK I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU. WE
JUST MET WHO WE GOT THERE. THIS
IS L.A. USA. I LOVE THIS NEW
SET THIS I LOVE YOU OK AS A
CRAZY CAT LADY MYSELF OF COURSE
I'M ELATED TO BE ABLE TO TALK
TO YOU FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW
YOUR STORY IT'S SUCH IT'S SUCH
A COOL BACKGROUND. PLEASE TELL
US HOW YOU GOT INVOLVED WITH
STRAY CATS. SO I'VE ACTUALLY
BEEN IN THE MUSIC ALL MY LIFE.
I WAS IN THE IN BETWEEN MUSIC
TOURS WHEN I DECIDED TO WORK AT
AN ANIMAL RESCUE GO TO ANIMAL
RESCUE HELPS SOME LITTER AND I
FELL IN LOVE. I HAD ALREADY HAD
CATS OF MY OWN BUT IT REALLY
TOUCHED ME IN A DIFFERENT WAY
WORKING FOR THE SHELTER,
LEARNING ABOUT TNR AND DOING IT
AND I WANTED TO GET MORE
ENGAGED SO I STUCK WITH IT AND
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT
TNR IS IT'S TRAP NEUTER RETURN.
RIGHT, RIGHT. IT'S THE HUMANE
ALTERNATIVE FOR EUTHANASIA OR
DEATH FOR STRAY AND FERAL CAT
POPULATIONS. AND THAT IS
SOMETHING I MEAN YOU POINTED
THAT OUT. THERE'S NOT A LOT
OF MEN WHO WORK IN ANIMAL
WELFARE SPECIFICALLY WITH CATS.
SO I LOVE THAT YOU'RE WORKING
TO CHANGE THE STEREOTYPE BUT
ALSO SOMETHING ELSE YOU NOTICE
NOT A LOT OF BLACK MEN, RIGHT?
RIGHT. RIGHT. AND THAT'S ONE
OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY GOT
ME INTO IT AND I WANTED TO TRY
AND BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN THE
CAT RESCUE COMMUNITY AND THE
BLACK COMMUNITY AND GET MORE
MEN INVOLVED. LET LET PEOPLE
KNOW YOU DON'T LOSE FOCAL
POINTS FOR COMPASSION. NO, YOU
DON'T. AND YOU'VE WORKED SO
HARD TO GET TO WHERE YOU ARE. I
READ THAT YOU KIND OF SCROUNGED
UP SOME MONEY. YOU GOT A
CONVERSION VAN AND WE'RE JUST
DRIVING AROUND WITH YOUR LOGO
AND JUST WORKING TO HELP CATS.
RIGHT? I'VE LIVED OUT
OF NINETEEN NINETY SEVEN FOR A
COUPLE OF YEARS AND RECENTLY I
WAS ABLE TO UPGRADE TO RB SO
NOW ME AND MY GIRLS DAMITA JO
AND ALANIS MORISSETTE WE'VE
TRAVELED AROUND THE RV SO WE
UPGRADED A LITTLE BIT. YOU ARE
AMAZING. I HAVE TO ASK YOU KNOW
YOU NOW CALL I THINK FERAL
CATS, COMMUNITY CATS BUT WHAT'S
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A QUOTE
UNQUOTE COMMUNITY CAT AND A
HOMELESS CAT? WELL, IT'S IT'S A
DIFFERENCE. ONE OF THE THINGS
I'M HAVING AN EVENT WITH FACE
PAWS MY FRIEND TABITHA THERE
TODAY AND THAT'S ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT WE'LL BE DOING
DEBUNKING SOME OF THESE. THAT'S
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FERAL
CAT AND STRAY CAT OR HOMELESS
CAT AS A HOMELESS CAT. IS IT
AGGRESSIVE OR ANYTHING? THEY
PROBABLY FRIENDLY BUT THEY
PREFER TO BE OUTSIDE A FERAL
CAT MORE SO SOMEBODY THAT YOU
KNOW YOU WANT TO STAY AWAY FROM
THAT KITTY. BUT HOMELESS CATS,
THEY ARE FRIENDLY TO COMMUNITY
PETS. YOU HAVE A LOT OF COLONY
FEEDERS AND THEY'RE NOT
DANGEROUS. SO THE BEST THING TO
DO IS A PROPERTY IN OUR PROGRAM
AND GET THEM SPAYED OR NEUTERED
AND VACCINATED AND THEN YOU SEE
THIS ADVICE IS SO HELPFUL
BECAUSE HERE AT OUR TELEVISION
STATION WE HAD SOME KITTENS WHO
HAD KITTENS AND SO WE DID THAT.
WE HAD BEEN FEEDING THEM DAILY
AND THEY DID THE WHOLE TNR IN
THEIR BACK AND THEIR COMMUNITY
KITTIES. WE ALL FEED THEM. WE
PET THEM HOW WITH THE EAR TIP.
YEAH YEAH. WHAT HOW CAN PEOPLE
HELP FERAL CATS USING YOUR
HELP? SO THE BEST THING TO DO
IS FIRST YOU WANT TO LOCATE
YOUR LOCAL RESCUE TEAM AND OUR
GROUP THEY HAVE A LOT OF YOU
CAN GO ONLINE, BUILD UP TO AN
HOUR AND THEY'LL HAVE YOU CAN
FIND DIFFERENT PLACES IN YOUR
AREA WHERE YOU COULD TNR IF NOT
YOU CAN REACH ME AT TRACKING
HUMANE DOG AND I'LL HELP YOU
FIND THEM. BUT THE BEST THING
TO DO BEFORE YOU JUST FEED AND
PUT OUR FOOD YOU WANT TO DO A
PROPER TNR PROGRAM THAT WAY TO
SPAY NEUTER VACCINATED AND THEN
THEY WILL OVERPOPULATE TO SO
MANY KITTIES THAT YOU CAN'T
HANDLE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
EXACTLY. OK, SO WE HAVE LESS
THAN A MINUTE LEFT. THERE ARE
TWO THINGS I WANT TO TALK TO
YOU ABOUT. ONE, WHEN YOU'RE NOT
TRAPPING YOU'RE PLAYING
MATCHMAKER TABULATES YES. YES
LITTLE TABULATES DOTCOM IS THE
FIRST EVER DATING APP FOR CAT
LOVERS SO GOT TO CHECK IT OUT.
WESTERBY DATES DOTCOM. CAN YOU
PUT IN A GOOD WORD FOR ME
BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO BE A
SPOKESPERSON. RIGHT. AND THEN
ALSO YOU'RE WORKING ON SETTING
A WORLD RECORD. TELL US ABOUT
THAT. YEAH, SO IT'S A CARE
DEAR. I'M WORKING TO SET THE
RECORD FOR THE MOST TORNADO
RESCUED IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD AND
I'M HOPING THAT THIS RECORD
WILL BE BROKEN OVER AND OVER
AGAIN. EVERY KITTEN SEASON SO
THAT WE CAN GET SOME OF THESE
KIDS RESCUED OUT HERE. BUT MAY
20TH THROUGH TWENTY SECOND I'LL
BE OUT LOOK AT THE BREAK THAT
RECORD TRAPPING ALL THE KITTIES
I CAN PERFECT. I'VE GOT THAT
WEBINAR TODAY CATS AND HABITAT
IF THERE'S ANY WAY I'M SERIOUS
STERLING THAT I CAN HELP YOU AS
A FELLOW CRAZY CAT PERSON
PLEASE REACH OUT TO
