Photos
Please put 3 of your best pictures in the email to the instructor. Suggestions for getting great photos:
1. An action shot of cat playing – these can be hard to take, but they're
worth gold!
2. A picture of the cat cuddling or interacting in some way with a person.
3. A photo to illustrate your description, ie: good with dogs, loves other cats,
great with kids, etc.
4. Put on a cute collar or ribbon/bow/bandana to help the cat stand out.
Black cats photograph well in front of windows with natural light, and on a solid background, such as a blanket.
If you need help getting pictures please e-mailcat.marketing@austinpetsalive.org.
Videos
There are 3 ways that you can submit a video for your pet to us:
1. For small videos, send them through email to the instructor.
2. For larger videos, send them to cat.marketing@austinpetsalive.orgby using this tool: http://www.sendspace.com .
3. This option is not preferred, but is acceptable: Upload the video toyour personal youtube account and submit the link.
Title
Use three
adjectives used to describe the kitty, such as Tidy – Hilarious
– Companion.
You can
use a thesaurus for alternatives to commonly-used adjectives
(sweet, lovable, cuddly, cute, and so on).
Body
Use third
person voice.
Try to
make it fun and entertaining, but also give basic information.
If the
kitty has a compelling story/history, include it.
Use examples
rather than adjectives. For example, instead of describing a kitty
as affectionate, give an example of affection, such as, he
loves to crawl into your lap and fall asleep or she rubs her
back against you every time she walks by.
If known,
include whether the cat is good/not good with other cats, kids, and/or
dogs.
Each bio
should include at least three full sentences.
Closing (See Boilerplate
Text on page 2 for referenced paragraphs)
Add the pre-adopt, FIV+, and/or FeLV+
standard paragraphs, as required.
End with
the two standard closing paragraphs.
Sample Bio
Affectionate - Social - Playful
Ava is a gorgeous, fluffy orange and white kitty
that is looking for a loving home to call her own. She gets very
bonded with people and follows her foster all over the house. She
just wants to be where her foster is, even if that means just sleeping
at her feet. Ava loves to have her head scratched and will thank
you with little love kisses, and sometimes will gently grab your
hand as you pull it away to let you know she's not quite done getting
attention.
Ava does great with the resident big goofy dog and
would love to have a safe place to spend a little time outdoors (so
probably a home on a busy street or greenbelt wouldn't be a good
idea). She doesn't really care for the resident cats and would be
much happier with someone that only wants one cat. Although she is
fluffy, she doesn't shed a lot and is easy to care for. Ava is a
very sweet kitty, but sometimes she likes to give little love bites,
so kids are probably not the best option for her either. She would
be perfect for someone looking for a best friend that will always
be at your side.
All APA! foster kittens/cats
are litter box trained, tested for FeLV/FIV,
spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for worms/fleas, microchipped and
come with a 30-day health insurance plan.
If you have additional questions about Ava, please
send an email to adopt@austinpetsalive.org.
Boilerplate
Text – placed in bio, as required
[If kitty is FIV+, place/integrate this paragraph in the appropriate
place in the body of the bio] Although KITTY is FIV+, please
don't let that stop you from adopting him/her! Cats with this condition
can live perfectly long, happy, healthy lives. FIV is passed through
blood transfusions and through serious, penetrating bite wounds;
for more information, visit http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/brochures/fiv.html
[If the kitty is available only for pre-adoption, place/integrate
this paragraph before the two closing paragraphs] KITTY needs
to stay in his/her foster home until he/she is 8 weeks old, but he/she
can be pre-adopted – and when he/she is old enough, you can
take him/her home!
[NOTE: When a kitten turns 6 weeks, the med techs will change
their status to Available after they get their vaccines.]
[These are the two closing paragraphs] All APA! foster kittens/cats are litter box trained, tested for FeLV/FIV, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for worms/fleas, microchipped and
come with a 30-day health insurance plan.
If
you have additional questions about KITTY, please send an email
to adopt@austinpetsalive.org.
