Save a Kitten Month
There is something called "kitten season" that starts in the spring and lasts through summer. It's when cats go into heat (when the weather warms up), so this is a critical time for shelters and rescues. They get inundated with newborn kittens (many that are feral -- where people find them and turn them in), and they need the public's help.

Play Mode not only hydrates you, but it also can keep you from getting those nasty hangovers! Many of which happen because of too much alcohol and not enough water. Sacramento local Mike Baeta, founder and owner of Play Mode Beverage Company, joins us in studio to show how you can mix drinks like Mojitos, Play Mosas and Margaritas with Play Mode.
