First of all Happy New Years Eve and welcome to this episode of the podcast! The final one of 2021!

I recently put a shout out asking if there were any people interested in being featured on my show. I received a lovely message from Bash asking if he could be a guest and I immediately said yes! All that was left to happen was to arrange a mutual time for both of us and the rest they say is history.

I had previous correspondence with Bash as he listens to the show and told me how much he enjoyed it and that the podcast although about cats came in at a slightly different angle to so many others out there which was a great compliment to me and much appreciated.

Bash is an advocate for fostering cats and helps his local shelter by doing this on a regular basis. Hi shelter is Four Paws Rescue who operate mainly in Delaware and the North Est Maryland areas but also have a branch in South Carolina where the founder lives. 

Bash works at an equine centre and was familiar with cats there who are the barn cats and also started rescue himself adding several cats to his furry family and then realised that through his love of gaming and cats he could do something amazing by combining both together and make some much needed funds to help cats in need and shelters.

Bash redesigned his spare room which is his foster kitty room and people can watch him play games online on his Twitch channel while checking out the antics of the fosters who are happily playing in the background. He also hosts weekly cat chats and has a great following online.

It was a pleasure to chat to Bash and learn so much about fostering and why it certainly saves lives and its something that anyone can do. If you were ever in doubt about your capability to help any of your local shelters then Bash will ease your worries and perhaps you too can save a life by freeing up a space in a shelter which can go to another cat in need. Thanks to people just like Bash who open up their homes so many little angels have a chance in life and so this work is vital and should be celebrated! Thank you Bash!!

Finally.... thank all of you for the amazing support the past year and I look forward to sharing many more stories of incredible inspiring people in 2021! An extra big thank you for supporting the Patreon and my other ventures which enable me to send money to cats and shelters in need. And if you are one of those currently wearing one of my hoodies then thank you so much! It makes me humble and warm inside. I appreciate you!!!!!

Thanks for listening
