I have 2 cats. One was a foundling and the other I recently got from a local shelter.
The marketing company I work for recently started a campaign to revamp the image of the shelter pet and I decided to adopt.
The campaign (composed of a partnersip between the Humane Society, Maddie’s Fund, and the Ad Council)is designed to give shelter pets an image makeover, letting the 17 million people who plan on getting a new pet this year know that shelters are the first and best place to find animal companions.
You can check out the PSA’s that have been created for the campaign on Youtube, one called PSA White collar and the other one Ditched.
I used the ‘Pet Personals’ website to find a local shelter for our new cat neko, pretty good site.
