Title: Canterbury CP (Kent) we need a PR person!
Post by: Canterbury_cats (Sharon) on September 23, 2007, 22:54:18 PM

Hi all

I realise its a long shot, but here goes!
Following at least two attempts to get a volunteer to do our PR (and get some well needed publicity for our homing and lost and found) we have failed. Mainly because both of those people have moved away from the area.

So anyone out there with a phone, computer and internet and good at making contact with local press for us that would help us no end.  Just someone who can regularly get a column in the paper and sort out something so we can be noticed more.. At the moment, and with an example of how things are at the moment and abit of pot luck, Morris and elderly puss what featured in the paper this week, we found his owners through the papers.

So.. cat picked up by welfare officer who takes him home, delivers him to fosterer the next day. She takes a photo, i send photo with blurb to the local press. The press ring me at work so i have to ask Pinkbear to ring her back due to deadline.. Pinkbear ring her on Monday, adverts goes on Thurs, cat gets rehomed on Friday... Four people involved you see, i just wish it was just one...!

Anyone interested who lives in the Kent/Canterbury/Faversham/Whitstable/Herne Bay area (although you do not have to, but it would help lots i feel) pls get in touch..

Thanks..
