Helen & Portland 8/28/2025

Our KIX Critters of the week are Helen and Portland!!

Both females are FIV+ but it’s not a death sentence for either of these two cuties!! Jodi explains what FIV is and the fact that FIV+ cats can be adopted with other cats. She does state that you should talk to your vet about it, first. I suggested to adopt the two together!! Their adoption fee is only $25.00 each!! More information

Portland

Portland is a playful, affectionate cat with a funny personality and the cutest little hops. She’s FIV-positive, which means she has a weaker immune system and needs a bit of extra care, but it doesn’t stop her from enjoying life to the fullest. She loves being petted, chasing toy mice, and soaking up attention.

Portland would do great as the only cat or in a home with other FIV-positive kitties. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped—ready to find her forever home.

If you’re looking for a sweet, spirited companion, Portland is your girl!

Helen

Helen is a sweet and friendly 2-year-old cat who came in with her three adorable kittens, all of whom have since been adopted. Helen is a big fan of head scratches and cuddles—she’ll happily come right up to you for some love. She enjoys lounging in her bed, but also loves curling up with people for some extra warmth and attention.

Helen has tested positive for FIV, which means she needs a little extra care due to a weakened immune system. She’d do well in a home with other FIV-positive cats or as the only cat, soaking up all the attention! Helen is spayed, up-to-date on her vaccinations, and microchipped, so she’s ready for her next adventure with a loving family.

If you’re looking for a sweet companion who loves affection, Helen could be the perfect match!

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK IS SYLVIE!!

Sylvie is a young, playful pup who is still learning the basics and eager to soak everything in. She has classic puppy energy and loves to run, play, and explore the world around her. They think she is between one and two years old

Sylvie is very treat-motivated, which makes training sessions fun and rewarding, and she enjoys learning new things with positive reinforcement. Her happy, energetic personality makes her a joy to be around, and she would thrive in a home ready to help her grow, learn, and burn off some puppy energy.

The List for Monday, February 9th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Lainey Wilson says she would absolutely jump back into the saddle for upcoming Yellowstone spin-offs. She told creator Taylor Sheridan she would gladly reprise her role. Country star. Acting chops. Cowboy hats. Honestly, at this point Lainey just lives in fringe and Montana. And we are not mad about it.

-----

Adam Sandler says that viral video about his daughter getting humiliated in a Chanel store is completely fake. The AI clip shows him storming in and dropping $312,000 on handbags. He says the whole story is 100 percent insane and made-up. However… The midnight In-N-Out burger run rumor? He says that one is true. Priorities.

-----

Rumor alert. Reports claim Taylor Swift has allegedly decided not to invite Blake Lively or Ryan Reynolds to her upcoming wedding. Sources say she wants a drama-free day and still feels burned from being pulled into Blake’s legal mess. Allegedly. Emphasis on allegedly. Nothing says romance like a very selective guest list.

-----

Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes have reportedly split. Again. That makes three times. At this point it is less “will they or won’t they” and more “we’ll circle back.” Call me when it sticks.

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