- Hi, welcome to the Los Angeles City Animal Shelter.
How can I help you?
- I'm lookin' to rescue a cat today.
- Oh my God, yes.
Did you have any particular kind in mind?
- No, no, nothing particular.
Just lookin' to give it a good home.
- Awesome, okay you are gonna follow me back here.
- Okay.
- Yeah, you're actually in luck.
We just got in a bunch of new kittens and a Himalayan.
- [Customer] (gasps) Look how cute it is!
- If I'm being totally honest, they're gonna have
a much easier time finding their fur-ever homes
than some of our other cats.
The ones really in need of rescuing are the Jellicles.
(suspenseful music)
(shocked humming)
- Mister Tater Totterous, at your service.
- That is a cat?
- Yeah, sadly there's a lotta Jellicles on the street.
They're you know, singing and dancing in alleys,
kind of rambling on about nonsense.
- Only one cat among us will be chosen to be reborn
in the Heaviside Layer.
- Yes you are.
- And what exactly is a Jellicle cat?
(laughing)
- I have no idea.

- Oh, God. (choking)
- Oh, oh.
- It's fine, it's fine.
Hi, there you go, get it out.
Oh you're okay.
He's fine, it's just a hairball.
- Here's the thing, this is my first pet.
I don't want anything too high maintenance.
- Okay, well don't judge too soon.
Mr. Tater Totterus has a lot of really great qualities.
He's up to date on his shots, he doesn't shed,
he does magic!
- What?
- [Cat] Ha-ha! (shouts)
- No!
Oh come on, isn't that whimsical and charming?
- No, it's weird and creepy.
He's got this sexual energy about him.
- [Employee] Yes.
- Is he neutered?
- Aggressively now.
- Is this your wallet?
- What the hell?
How did you do that?
♪ Tater Toterous tell your sons and daughterous ♪
♪ Never has there ever been a cat ♪
- Hey, no! - Give it back!
- No, we do not steal wallets here.
- Give me my wallet!
- Come on, wallet back!
Come on, I am so sorry about that.
- You know, I think I should just get a kitten.
- I understand, I'm used to rejection.
- Mr. Tater Totterous was a glamor cat, but he fell
on hard times, you know why.
And he was ostracized by the other Jellicles.
- I don't know what any of those words mean.

- Can I change his name?
- Absolutely not.
- [Customer] I'll take him anyway!
- Great, I will start the paperwork.
- Excellent.
- Oh.
(farting)
Oh, good boy.
- No (groans).
- That's a big one, size of a kitten.
(groaning)
- I don't think I can do this.
- Yes!
Wait, what? - Yeah.
- Look, if you don't adopt him today then we have to
put him down.
- I'm okay with that.
