Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Black Cats and Halloween Fears: MSPCA-Angell Debunks the Superstitions
Q: How are you seeing this playing out over at the shelter? Do you see that people stop coming in and looking at the black cats? Do you get more black cats this time of year?
Keiley says MSPCA-Angell does not see a seasonal change in those patterns and regards the concerns about Halloween adoptions as mythology. He says restricting adoptions keeps cats in shelters longer without evidence of increased risk.
Black Cats and Halloween Fears: MSPCA-Angell Debunks the Superstitions
Q: Talk with us a bit more about these superstitions, how they came to be, and what you all are doing to fight back against this.
Keiley traces black cat fears to old folklore and bad-luck associations, and says MSPCA-Angell works to celebrate black cats and counter negative myths.
Natick's Cocotree Kids Supports Local Families, One Underwear Pair at a Time
Q: What has this grown into now and how are you getting this material for these kids and getting it back out there?
Cocotree Kids has served 91,000 children statewide, purchasing underwear in bulk with monetary donations and distributing it through nonprofit partners such as schools, clinics, hospitals and shelters.
Natick's Cocotree Kids Supports Local Families, One Underwear Pair at a Time
Q: Why is underwear a mission that you've decided to focus on here?
