84. Fostering Animals: Cassi Jerkins Loves the Ugly Cats

930
Convince Me

Comedian and fellow podcast host Cassi Jerkins (@CassiJerkins) is a cat foster parent, and wants to convince you to be one too! Cassi educates Thayer, Geoff and Ben about the ins and outs of fostering: how to get involved, the low cost associated, how much is required to adopt an animal, why fostering is a low-stakes introduction to pet ownership, the benefits of a full-time volunteer position, and how cats make your life better. Along the way we hear everyone’s pet history, our thoughts on giving pets as gifts, and we get a special guest visitor, Cassi’s foster-cat, Silver. We end with a very riled-up, ticked, and peeved version of “What’s Cheesin’ You Off?”
