A flock of Canada geese fly over the Wilde Shelter, a tall greenhouse filled with plants and animals. The geese also fly over a veterinary clinic and a two-storey house.

Text reads, “Watch Next Media, Image-In Atlantique, Peekaboo Animation Present.”

Inside the greenhouse, Audrey, a young girl with red hair in a ponytail, stands on a tree branch. She wears a yellow jacket over an olive green shirt, black pants, and brown boots. Audrey whistles and startles butterflies. Standing on a rock nearby, Tommy watches Jack, a gorilla, land on the branch beside Audrey. Tommy wears a pale blue long-sleeve shirt and pale grey pants. His black curly hair is short.

[Upbeat music plays, animals hooting]

Audrey swings on a vine with a golden lion tamarin clinging to her head. Tommy rides on Jack’s back as Jack swings from a second vine.

A person sings, OH, CAN YOU HEAR THEM, ANIMALS ARE CALLING. THEY ARE IN DANGER.

Audrey stands as she slides down a rock past Karl and Pat. Karl, a slender young man with black hair and eyeglasses, watches Audrey slide past. Pat bottle-feeds a large grey kitten with black spots. Her black hair is pulled into a ponytail. Tommy rides Jack down the rock.

At the bottom of the sloped rock, Audrey runs past her parents and a giant panda. Audrey’s mom, Sonia, holds a blue clipboard. Her curly red hair is pulled into a ponytail. She wears a pink jacket, a blue shirt, and brown pants. Audrey’s dad, Hector, holds a bamboo shoot. He has short black hair, a dark grey beard, and a stethoscope around his neck.

The singer sings, NATURE'S OUR PASSION, READY FOR ACTION.

Audrey and Jack, still carrying Tommy, run past Jonas, a man with curly red hair. He lifts a rake over his head and spins as they pass.

[Whooshing, upbeat music continues]

Text reads, “Directed by Alexandre Coste.”

Singers sing, TOGETHER.

Audrey pulls leaves to the side and reveals Tommy in a clearing with Jack, a giraffe, an elephant, and a gazelle.

The first singer sings, JOIN THE ADVENTURE.

Singers sing, THIS IS AUDREY'S SHELTER.

Episode title: Kitty Sitter.

Text reads, “Story Edited by Dan Danko. Written by Barbara Haynes. Storyboard by Olivier Goddin.”

[Upbeat music plays, birds chirping, Tommy panting, bicycle rattling]

The tall iron gates in front of the Shelter are open. Tommy rides his bicycle down the path and stops in front of Audrey.

Tommy says, AUDREY! YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO GUESS WHAT I FOUND!

Audrey says, YOU CAN SHOW ME LATER. JACK'S WAITING FOR US!

[Bicycle clattering]

Tommy drops his bicycle.

Tommy says, IT'LL TAKE TWO SECONDS. YOU'LL SEE, IT'LL BE WORTH IT!

[Backpack unzipping, Tommy giggling, birds chirping, gentle music plays]

Audrey says, OH! OH!

[Meowing]

Tommy holds a white kitten in his backpack.

Audrey says, HE'S SO CUTE!

[Laughing]

Audrey says, WHERE'D YOU FIND HIM?

Tommy says, ON THE ROAD TO THE REFUGE. HE WAS ALL ALONE.

Audrey says, HE DOESN'T HAVE A COLLAR. HE MUST'VE BEEN ABANDONED.

[Upbeat music plays]

Audrey says, WHAT'RE WE GOING TO CALL YOU?

[Audrey squeeing, meowing, footsteps rustling]

The kitten sharpens his claws on Tommy’s sweater.

Tommy says, OW! STOP THAT!

Audrey says, HOW ABOUT, UH... SNOWFLAKE? 'CAUSE HE'S ALL WHITE! OH, YOU REALLY ARE THE CUTEST, SNOWFLAKE!

Marcelo stands on Hector’s head.

Audrey and Tommy say, HMM?

[Chittering, meowing, thunking]

Marcelo hides behind Hector’s back.

Hector says, IS THAT YOUR KITTEN? AH! HEY, CALM DOWN, MARCELO! THIS LITTLE BALL OF FUR DOESN'T LOOK VERY DANGEROUS.

[Marcelo chittering, Hector laughing]

Tommy says, I FOUND HIM ON THE ROAD TO THE REFUGE.

Audrey says, AND HE DOESN'T HAVE A COLLAR, SO THAT MEANS WE CAN KEEP HIM! RIGHT, DAD?

[Gentle music notes play]

Audrey and Tommy plead, PRETTY PLEASE!

Hector says, OH, JUST BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE A COLLAR, DOESN'T MAKE HIM A STRAY. MAYBE HE HAS A CHIP!

Audrey says, WHAT? WE DIDN'T GIVE HIM ANY CHIPS TO EAT.

[Hector laughing, Marcelo chittering]

Hector says, NO, AN ELECTRONIC CHIP! IT'S SO HIS OWNER CAN FIND HIM IF HE GETS LOST. LET'S TAKE HIM TO THE CLINIC TO CHECK AND SEE.

[Children laughing, cheerful music plays, purring, meowing, chittering, footsteps pattering]

In the clinic, Snowflake lies on an examination table.

[Meowing, footsteps pattering quickly, rattling]

Marcello runs across a countertop and hides behind a medical kit. Hector holds his stethoscope against Snowflake’s side.

Hector says, MM-HMM... MM-HMM...THIS KITTEN IS IN PERFECT HEALTH! BUT HE DOESN'T HAVE A CHIP, SO THAT MEANS HE DOESN'T HAVE A HOME.

[Happy music plays]

Audrey and Tommy cheer, YAY!

They dance.

Audrey and Tommy sing, SNOWFLAKE CAN STAY HERE! SNOWFLAKE CAN STAY HERE!

[Hector clearing his throat]

Hector waggles his finger.

Hector says, MM-MM-MM!

[Sad music plays]

Audrey and Tommy sadly sing, SNOWFLAKE CAN'T STAY HERE...

Hector says, SORRY, BUT THE REFUGE IS ONLY FOR WILD ANIMALS. DOMESTIC ANIMALS NEED A HOME TO LIVE IN, AND YOU KNOW THE RULES: NO ANIMALS ARE ALLOWED IN THE HOUSE.

Audrey says, BUT DAD...

Hector says, I'LL CALL THE OTHER SHELTERS TO SEE IF ONE OF THEIR KITTENS HAS ESCAPED. IF THEY HAVEN'T, WE'LL FIND SOMEONE TO ADOPT HIM. BUT JUST FOR NOW, YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF HIM.

[Meowing]

Audrey says, OKAY, DAD...

[Audrey sighing sadly, meowing, purring]

The ball rolls away from Snowflake.

Audrey says, OOPS!

[Sniffing, ball squeaking]

The ball rolls past bushes and hits Jack’s hand.

[Jack vocalizing, meowing, toy squeaking, whooshing, upbeat music continues]

[Jack vocalizing, meowing, purring]

Audrey says, DON'T WORRY, JACK. THAT MEANS HE LIKES YOU A LOT.

[Jack vocalizing, toy squeaking, meowing, purring, leaves rustling, upbeat music continues, Audrey laughing]

Jack pokes the ball and then rolls it. Snowflake chases the ball, and Jack chases Snowflake.

Audrey says, I THINK JACK'S ACCEPTED HIM AS WELL.

[Jack vocalizing]

Audrey says, YES! SNOWFLAKE IS OUR FRIEND.

[Meowing, purring]

Jack relaxes against a tree, with Snowflake curled up on his tummy.

Audrey says, THOSE TWO ARE SO CUTE TOGETHER.

[Gasping]

Audrey says, HEY! OF COURSE! IF MY PARENTS OBSERVE HOW WELL JACK AND SNOWFLAKE GET ALONG TOGETHER, THEN THEY'LL SEE THAT SNOWFLAKE BELONGS AT THE REFUGE!

[Whooshing, meowing, slurping]

Audrey jumps from a tree branch to the ground.

Jack licks Snowflake.

Tommy says, OH, YES! WE JUST HAVE TO SHOW THEM THAT THEY'VE BECOME THE BESTEST FRIENDS IN THE WHOLE WORLD!

[Playful music plays, Jack grunting, meowing, camera shutter snapping, Jack vocalizing, children laughing, hands slapping]

Snowflake and Jack scratch a tree trunk. They lie on their backs and play with balls. Tommy looks at photographs, then he and Audrey high-five.

[Snoring, footsteps rustling, birds chirping]

Audrey and Tommy look at the photographs. Jack and Snowflake sleep nearby.

Audrey says, WOW! THAT ONE'S A REALLY GOOD ONE!

Hector says, GOOD NEWS!

Audrey says, DAD! YOU CAME AT JUST THE RIGHT TIME! JACK AND SNOWFLAKE HAVE BECOME SUPER CLOSE FRIENDS, COME SEE!

[Hector exclaiming, footsteps running, birds chirping]

Audrey pulls Hector to a tree covered with Jack’s handprints and Snowflake’s pawprints.

Tommy says, YEAH, THEY DO EVERYTHING TOGETHER NOW! SNOWFLAKE LOVES JACK, AND JACK LOVES SNOWFLAKE!

Hector says, HMM? BUT—

Audrey says, SO, WE DON'T NEED TO FIND HIM A NEW HOME, HE CAN STAY HERE!

Audrey and Tommy ask, CAN'T HE?

[Upbeat music plays]

Hector says, IT'S SWEET THAT THEY'RE BECOMING FRIENDS.

Audrey says, YES, THE CUTEST FRIENDS IN THE WHOLE WORLD!

Tommy says, UH-HUH!

Hector says, AH... YOU'RE RIGHT, THEY ARE VERY CUTE. BUT I'M SORRY. IT DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. SNOWFLAKE NEEDS TO LIVE IN A REAL HOME. AND I FOUND A SOLUTION. CHARLIE WANTS TO ADOPT SNOWFLAKE! HE THINKS HE'S READY TO HAVE A PET NOW. HE'S COMING SOON.

Audrey says, CHARLIE? CHARLIE THE JOURNALIST?

Hector says, YES. YOU CAN SAY YOUR GOODBYES TO SNOWFLAKE, AND THEN BRING HIM TO THE CLINIC.

[Children sighing, footsteps rustling, birds chirping]

Audrey says, OH, YOU OKAY, TOMMY?

Tommy says, I GUESS, BUT IT'S GONNA BE REALLY HARD TO BREAK THE NEWS TO JACK.

Audrey says, POOR THING. WE COULD ALWAYS COMFORT HIM WITH FRUIT?

Tommy says, GREAT IDEA! THAT'LL PUT HIM IN A GOOD MOOD.

Audrey says, AND IT'LL ALSO MAKE IT EASIER TO TELL HIM THAT SNOWFLAKE'S FOUND A NEW HOME.

Tommy says, HMM!

[Footsteps running, leaves rustling, Jack vocalizing, whooshing]

Audrey and Tommy run away from the tree. Jack pokes his head down through the leaves and watches them.

[Soft music plays]

Later, Tommy and Audrey return with arms full of fruit.

Audrey says, HMM? JACK? SNOWFLAKE?

[Whooshing, footsteps running]

Tommy says, WHERE ARE YOU?!

[Squeaking toys, upbeat music plays, rustling]

In front of the clinic, Charlie puts a bag of cat toys on a bench.
