How to Organize a Local Pet Adoption Event in Your Community
Petfinder’s mission has always been to find forever homes for every adoptable pet. Many of you share this same goal and are looking for ways to support the pet adoption community. We believe that one of the great ways to promote animal welfare, whether you are a passionate individual or a local adoption organization, is to host an adoption event. To ensure your event is set up for success, Petfinder has prepared some tips to help you plan and execute a local adoption event in your community.
SET A GOAL, PURPOSE, AND BRANDING
The most important step is establishing a goal for the event. It may be setting a specific number of pet adoptions, raising money for a local shelter or rescue group to help ensure they can continue their adoption efforts, or a combination of both. For individuals, you will need to partner with a local pet adoption group. Petfinder.com has a handy tool to help you find great organizations in your area that you can partner with. Whatever your goal may be, it is important to establish this early so that as you begin to plan and build a team, everyone has a clear understanding of how to measure success.
Once a clear goal and purpose are established, coming up with a fun or unique theme or brand for the event is a crucial step in ensuring that all promotional communications for the event are consistent. This will be very important in avoiding any possible confusion between other similar events that may take place in your area. It also makes it easy to visually recognize any information that is shared about your event in the hopes of catching people’s eye.
Badly need to find homes for large number of kittens and the stray adult cats, male, females, that ended up on our street behind our houses. Basically mine and two others. We have a shelter but not always good experience with the shelter in the past. When I moved to this house, found 30 abandoned cats here. Hamilton Township in another township helped not only give them shots and neuter them but homes. I also had many no one wanted and then the town had FIP outbreak which killed my own elderly cats and many of those I had in the cat sanctuary I had built in my basement for the winter. So many Emails I sent lately went unanswered so no advice came. Now I am facing my son's decision that all kittens shell be taken away etc. I cannot do this. I feel I need to protect at least those young kittens with good opportunity for adoption. Not sure how to proceed with the mother cats. My funds are limited but my upstairs rooms are available. Any suggestions.
