Cat Virus on Maui, Feline Panleukopenia: Jamie Fitzpatrick
It's not a new virus, but it's made Maui a hot spot and cat owners are concerned. As we went into the weekend, the Maui Humane Society said the outbreak of the feline panleukopenia virus was in a highly populated area and had already killed eight cats. Most difficult to hear was that the virus couldn't be contained. Jamie Fitzpatrick of the Maui Humane Society joined the show to tell us more about the virus and what can be done to protect your cats.

NAMI Report on Unemployment/Mental Illness: Mary Giliberti
Here's one you probably understand intimately: the link between work and identity. But if you or someone you love lives with mental illness, that link may be broken - especially in Hawai‘i. A report out this month from the National Alliance on Mental Illness shows our state with the third worst national ranking for unemployed people in the public mental health care system. The best in the nation is Wyoming. NAMI’s Executive Director, Mary Giliberti, joined the show by phone from her office in Washington to discuss the report and its findings.
