And I'm very lucky to have you in my district.

Zion's mission, itty biddies, city kitties, puppy puppy kitties, New York City, the Mayo squad, Bobby in the strays, some individuals who want to remain nameless, but are here as as just citizens.
5:04:47
That's why we have to support you because you're there when no one else comes for us, not the city agencies.
5:04:54
They tell us no.
5:04:56
They're overburdened, and they have too much.
5:04:58
But I doubt they have as many cats as you do.
5:05:01
And I've been to your facility, and I know what it's like, and I know how much you care.
5:05:05
So Thank you so much, and thank you for coming down today and and me giving your testimony, and others who did not come from my district, but did submit testimony.
5:05:14
Thank you.
