Speaker 1: a guest joining me on the telephone right now, Matt Tugas.
Speaker 1: He is with Sue Empire TNR Coalition and we've got
Speaker 1: a fun event that's coming up tomorrow. It's called Tats
Speaker 1: for Cats. So yes, you can get a tattoo and
Speaker 1: you can support this organization. So before we talk about
Speaker 1: the event for tomorrow, let's talk about what Sue Empire
Speaker 1: TNR Coalition does and Matt, I'll let you explain it.
Speaker 1: You do a good job explaining what you guys.
Speaker 2: Do TNR, which is population control. We do rescue, you know,
Speaker 2: adoptions and pretty much everything in between. If there's a
Speaker 2: cat out where around the needs help, persistance, we're going
Speaker 2: to do whatever we can to help that cat.
Speaker 1: I love that. And the thing that's really neat you
Speaker 1: guys are out in the community a lot, doing a
Speaker 1: lot of fundraisers, doing a lot of different things for
Speaker 1: the Sue Empire TNR coalition, So you get a chance
Speaker 1: to eat people quite often. And one of the things
Speaker 1: that's cool. A lot of the times when people see
Speaker 1: you guys out doing things, you have cats along with
Speaker 1: you too.
Speaker 2: Don't you. Almost always these.
Speaker 1: Are cats that if people like fall in love and
Speaker 1: say I want this cat at my house, they can
Speaker 1: find a way to bring that cat home, right.
Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, Yeah. Adoptions are the name of the game.
Speaker 2: That's you know, the more cats we adopt out in
Speaker 2: the homes, the more cats we're able to help. Every
Speaker 2: cat adopted out kind of freeze up space for another
Speaker 2: one and another one and another one.
Speaker 1: And it's not like you're going to run out of supply.
Speaker 1: There's cats all the time, and there's a need that's
Speaker 1: just growing and growing and growing. And part of what
Speaker 1: you guys are doing is helping to control that growth,
Speaker 1: aren't you.
Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, our big mission is spay and neuter. We're
Speaker 2: on track to, hopefully you I'll cross my fingers cautiously optimistic,
Speaker 2: we're going to spay and neuter about seven hundred cats
Speaker 2: this year.
Speaker 1: That is a huge number, man, that's awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, that's between owned cats and T and R
Speaker 2: as well, and either way, as long as you're fixing
Speaker 2: cats within the community, that does help with the popular.
Speaker 1: Obviously absolutely and again Sue Empire tn R Coalition one
Speaker 1: hundred percent volunteer. It's a five oh one c three nonprofit.
Speaker 1: And again a really cool fundraiser is happening tomorrow, Tats
Speaker 1: for Cats at Red Arbor Tattoo. Let's talk about this.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, it's going to be and even if you're
Speaker 2: not into tattoos, this is going to be a fun event.
Speaker 2: You know, who got the artists there at Red Arbor.
Speaker 2: They all wanted to They want to do two hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty tattoos tomorrow. There are tattoos that come off
Speaker 2: with their flashes what they call so they've they've come
Speaker 2: up with about six or seven different pages of I
Speaker 2: guess it's custom flash because they did it for this event.
Speaker 2: And what that means is you got like six pages
Speaker 2: of all these smaller, more simplistic tattoos. Everything that I've
Speaker 2: seen for this event is either dog or cat related,
Speaker 2: mostly cat, but animal in general. You know, so even
Speaker 2: if you don't want you do want a cat tattoo,
Speaker 2: then you can certainly get one of a dog or
Speaker 2: there's there's a few other options too, but I don't
Speaker 2: know why you want to get a cat tattoo.
Speaker 1: And I'm looking right now on the website because if
Speaker 1: you go to Sue EMPIRETNR dot org, you can actually
Speaker 1: schedule your tattoo for tomorrow. Right now, agains the first
Speaker 1: annual tats for cats. And I see that, like the
Speaker 1: ten o'clock time slot is already full, and I'm scrolling through.
Speaker 1: It looks like our first opening is a little bit
Speaker 1: later in the morning, like ten forty five, And there's
Speaker 1: several openings later in the day that are already full
Speaker 1: as well, So it looks like people have already signed up,
Speaker 1: but there's still room.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Like I said, we want to do two fifty.
Speaker 2: I think we're sitting right about eighty or ninety people
Speaker 2: signed up right now. We're anticipating a lot of people
Speaker 2: just walking up and do it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. So and that's the cool thing about
Speaker 1: this again, it's going to be a pretty quick thing,
Speaker 1: at about a fifteen minute session, so you don't have
Speaker 1: to plan like a whole day. Oh I got to
Speaker 1: schedule this and I got to figure this out. And again,
Speaker 1: these are not going to be huge tattoos. It's not
Speaker 1: going to cover your entire back, like this is a
Speaker 1: cute little tattoo that you can do. And again, a
Speaker 1: lot of the funds that are being raised tomorrow for
Speaker 1: this event are going to sue Empire TNR. So it's
Speaker 1: a cool tato and it's a good cause absolutely, And again,
Speaker 1: this is the first time you've done this, so we
Speaker 1: don't know how it's going to go. But I think
Speaker 1: it's going to go well. And I'm going to be
Speaker 1: hanging out with you, playing some music, having some fun.
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a darn good time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so too. Yeah, there's going to be
Speaker 2: food trucks. I believe there was rumors of a beer
Speaker 2: cart just kind of hanging out in the parking lot
Speaker 2: there at Red Arbor. Obviously, like you said before, we
Speaker 2: always have adoptable cats with us, so if you're in
Speaker 2: the market for a kiddie and not a tattoo, you
Speaker 2: can still come on out see what we got. We've also,
Speaker 2: you know, I think we're doing a donation drive too,
Speaker 2: so food litter, anything that's on our donation list on
Speaker 2: our website, we're taking donations as well. So it's just
Speaker 2: going to be just a hangout day for the most part.
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 1: It's happening tomorrow ten am till six pm. It's at
Speaker 1: Red Arbor Tattoo and that's in Tea And I'm going
Speaker 1: to share all this on our Facebook page to make
