10 WAYS TO HELP HOMELESS CATS FROM THE ASPCA
August 4th, 2010 by David Yaskulka
The ASPCA put out a great guide to helping homeless cats, even if you can’t adopt one right now:
From assisting in the care and placement of shelter felines to educating the public on feral cat issues—here are a few easy ways you can make a difference for homeless cats in your community.
Show Your Virtual Support
Dedicate your MySpace page, Facebook status, Tweet or blog to an adoptable cat and help spread the word about Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat Month! You can also join our cause on Facebook or put an ASPCA donation widget on your personal web page.
Volunteer at Your Local Shelter
Volunteering at your local shelter is a great way to make a difference in the lives of homeless cats. From playing with kittens and organizing fundraising events to fostering abused or frightened felines, shelters across the country are in desperate need of volunteers. Be sure to visit our Ten Ways to Help Your Local Shelter for more suggestions.


Congratulations to our winner of last week’s “My Halo Story” Twitter contest — @Suzanne! Fellow Halo followers were asked to tell us about their Halo experience for a chance to win a $50 gift certificate to our web store. The winner was picked at random and announce Friday, 2/26/10.
Part of the great success of Freekibble.com’s Halo-sponsored Hi-5 event – which resulted in 20,000 meals donated to shelter pets – was the media coverage it received. We appreciate that the Los Angeles Times told its readers about this opportunity to help cats in animal shelters!
Acclaimed authors Brad and Deb Schepp have written quite a bit about the importance of corporate philanthropy and social responsibility. Their new article for the Auctiva business education site, “The Tweet Smell of Success,” features Halo’s success on Twitter, the popular microblogging site.
