Adoption Events and Promotions---How to Increase Cat and Kitten Adoptions
See Cleveland Animal Protective League: http://clevelandapl.org/index.htm
Thanks to Susan Daffron, founder of National Association of Pet Rescue Professionals, I heard December 2011 teleseminar featuring Sharon Harvey, executive director of the Cleveland Animal Protective League (APL) whose programs have drawn so many adopters that APL was able to increase cat and kitten adoptions as well as their adoption revenue. In 2010 Harvey shared the success of her program at No More Homeless Pets Conference in Las Vegas. Best Friends decided to try and expand the program throughout the country. (Click here to view a webinar presentation with Sharon Harvey on “Putting More ‘WOW’ in Your Cat Adoption Program.”)
