1 PUTTING MORE WOW IN YOUR CAT ADOPTION PROGRAM Emily Weiss, Ph.D., CAAB Senior Director, Shelter Research and Development Community Outreach ASPCA Sharon Harvey, M.A. Executive Director Cleveland Animal Protective League
2 Session Overview o Define the challenge o Create the BUZZ! o Show me the numbers! o Marketing them in your facility o Bring the mountain to them
3 Define the Challenge Changing Shelter Population o 1970s dogs to cats ratio 3 to 1 o 2000s dogs to cats ratio 1 to 3 Relative value/perception of cats in society o By a 70% to 20% margin, Americans describe themselves as a dog person rather than a cat person 1 1 Americans and Their Pets, The Gallup Poll News Service -12/21/06
4 Define the Challenge Where people are getting their cats 1 43% of cats are acquired from a family member 34% of cats are acquired as strays 15% of cats are bred at home 18% of cats are adopted from shelters or rescues 4% of cats come from pet stores 3% of cats come from breeders 3% of cats are acquired as gifts 1 National Council on Pet Population Study & Policy
5 American Pet Product Assn Survey Where d d You Get Your Cat??
6 So o Knowing: ~75% of people are acquiring pet cats free from friends, family or as strays ~90% if kittens from litters born at home are included We only have 18 22% of the market being adopted Only 32% of homes had a cat in 2006 so the market isn t saturated A free cat may cost ~$300 in initial veterinary expenses, whereas our adoption fees for cats are considerably less o The question is: Why aren t more coming to us?
7 IOHO The answers are: They don t know we re here They don t realize the value we offer to them and to the animals in our community They re afraid to come into a shelter We don t do a good job of letting them know we re here! When they do come we don t always do a good job of keeping them there
8 Create the BUZZ! o Craft a cat adoption message o Critically evaluate your message Will the audience you re targeting relate to it? Will it drive results you need? For instance, adoptions vs. fundraising Is it clear? Engaging? Compelling? Avoid jargon - kitten season, pet overpopulation
9 Keep it visually appealing, compelling & FUN!
10 Create the BUZZ! GET YOUR MESSAGE OUT! o Brainstorm fun ideas use pop culture o Press Releases o Cultivate relationships with media (x10!!!) o Website, blogs, social networking sites o Speaking engagements o Tabling events o Create top of mind awareness! o Learn from what did & didn t work
11 End Petlessness SM o Oregon Humane Society o The message pets save people! o Audience people who are undecided about a pet or who are unlikely to visit a humane society to adopt o The campaign has been integrated into OHS fundraising programs, internal marketing efforts, and external branding for their organization
12 Cat Army o To honor and defend the lives of cats o Educate about the value of cats o Forum to dispel myths about cats o Raise awareness about the plight of cats o Create top of mind awareness for cats!!
13 Creative Marketing Ideas Hmmm what got them interested???
14 Springfield APL Adopt a Fat Cat!
15 Holiday Promotion Themes No More Homeless Pets Utah
16 PURR-miere Month & the A-CAT-emy Awards
17 Show Me the Numbers! Did Your Idea Work? o Measure the before and the after Increased adoption of species promoted? Increase in other adoptions? Increase in donations? Increase in foot traffic? Residual increases post promotion?
18 How to Measure Effectively o Be sure you are collecting the right data for baseline ideally you should measure: Same time year previous Time periods near but before and after the event o Make sure your data is clean Promotion around adult cats are you sure your kittens are not included in your count? o Try to keep EVERYTHING ELSE THE SAME
19 Cleveland APL o Located in downtown Cleveland, OH o 30,000 square foot open/managed admissions facilty o No municipal shelter for stray cats in city or county o No time limits, no euthanasia for space, but this has resulted in overcrowding during warmer months when intake volume has exceeded adoption numbers also not good!!! o More than 3,600 cat adoptions (w/200 still in care at year end) o Regular Cat Adoption Fees Kittens (under 5 mos) $95 Adults (5 mos & up) $45 Seniors (7 yrs & up) $30 o Fee includes Spay/neuter FeLv/FIV testing Age appropriate vaccinations (including rabies) Worm and flea treatment 30 days Sheltercare pet insurance
20 Cleveland APL o Learning-centered adoptions with open-ended questions during which the staff-adopter interaction encourages learning opportunities and equips adopters with information, critical thinking skills, and resources for his/her current and future use as a pet parent. o ASPCA Meet Your Match Program with Feline-ality o During 2008 only a few targeted adoption promotions but reduced cat adoption fees to $25/$50 for cats/kittens from June to October. o During 2009 maintained regular adoption fees throughout the year and reduced them only during 13 strategic, special promotion, adoption events.

22 We needed more o o o o o o o o o Wanted/needed more aggressive promos Staff concern wrong people, can t afford Advance messaging to colleagues Messaging sale vs. promotion Reminder adoption standards unchanged Follow-up call & return rate tracking Gradual entry into reduced rates Education - % of free cats in homes now It s NOT OK to over-crowd! Increase in disease and decrease in quality of life Decreased capacity to save new lives
23 Feline Independence Day Feline Independence Day GREAT Media Coverage again!!! We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all animals are created equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, humane societies are instituted among men, using their just powers to serve those unable to serve themselves. There comes a time, however, when it is the right, the duty, of the cat to seek new guards for their future security.
