Aurora 5/20/25

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK IS AURORA!!

Aurora is a sweet, two-year-old cat who has been at the shelter since October 2023. She’s got a big personality and loves to chat—she’s a vocal girl and isn’t shy about sharing her thoughts! Whether you’re talking to her or just hanging out, she’s always happy to “talk back” and let you know how she’s feeling.

When she’s not having a conversation, Aurora is all about relaxing. She loves curling up in her comfy bed or soaking up the sun. She’s definitely a laid-back kitty who enjoys her peace and quiet, but she also likes to be close to her people when she’s in the mood for attention.

Aurora is a bit selective about her feline friends. She’s okay with other cats as long as they’re not too in-your-face. If they respect her space, she’s happy to coexist with them.

Aurora is spayed, up to date on all vaccines, FeLV/FIV tested, and microchipped to ensure her safety.

She’s ready to find a home where she can relax in a sunny spot, enjoy some quiet time, and chat with her humans whenever the mood strikes. If you’re looking for a sweet, vocal kitty who enjoys a peaceful life, Aurora might just be the one for you! HER ADOPTION FEE IS ONLY $25.00!!! BECAUSE SHE IS OUR KIX CRITTER!!

The List for Wednesday, July 9th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Lauren posted a video washing her daughter’s bottles, and some random mom on the internet popped in like, “You should be breastfeeding!” Ma’am—Lauren is breastfeeding and using bottles. Ever heard of both?. . “Just because I posted a video of myself washing my daughter's bottles does not give you the right to shame me and harass me and tell me that I should be breastfeeding my child. Mind your business, Nancy. You don't know me and I don't know you and let's keep it that way."

-----

Apparently, Travis Kelce isn’t dropping a knee for Taylor Swift anytime soon. Sources say he’s holding off on proposing until after he retires from football. Because nothing says “romance” like waiting until you’re not covered in turf and Gatorade sweat to buy a ring.

-----

Orlando Bloom is going full rom-com meltdown trying to win back Katy Perry. We’re talking emotional texts, voice notes, handwritten letters—dude’s practically sending carrier pigeons at this point. Sources say he still believes there’s a chance. Sir, this isn’t The Notebook. This is “She’s Just Not That Into You.”

-----

Jelly Roll had fans in full-blown sob mode at a music festival after meeting a young girl holding a sign about her late mom, who wrote his lyrics in her journal. Yeah, go ahead and cry, it’s okay—we all did. Jelly’s got a heart bigger than his tour bus, and this moment hit everyone right in the soul.

You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
