‘I just couldn’t resist’: Actor Dennis Quaid is adopting a Lynchburg shelter cat named Dennis Quaid - WSLS 10

Last week, we introduced you to a cat named Dennis Quaid at the Lynchburg Humane Society in need of a forever home, as part of our Clear the Shelters initiative.

I had to,” said Dennis Quaid.

“We also have the pet show that Jimmy [Jellinek] here is doing and I’m executive producing on it, and really it’s turned out to be one of my favorites,” said Quaid.

“I was like there is no way this is real, like, someone is pranking us,” said Danielle Ulmer, Lynchburg Humane Society, Adoption Center Manager.

It took us a while for them to actually believe us,” said Jimmy Jellinek, co-host of The Pet Show

Once Jellinek convinced the shelter staff that he and Quaid weren’t internet trolls or crazy people, they got to meet Dennis Quaid, the cat, via Zoom
