Animal Welfare Professionals

We are a niche cat sanctuary, saving and providing a safe haven for cats with special needs and senior hospice cases. Many cats who are taken to shelters, humane societies, or emergency clinics are euthanized due to a medical condition or injuries and we are unable to intercept. (Our single and largest county shelter does not accept cats, which is probably the biggest issue.) We are a part of rescue partnership programs with a shelter in a neighboring county and the humane society, but would like to do more. Do you have any advice on how we can raise awareness and connect with these establishments/ public so that we can potentially save lives? Thank you so much in advance. 

Do you have information flyers/posters you can leave with vet clinics and other shelters?  What social media do you use - do you promote yourselves as an intake option that way to the public? We have good awareness with the vets and other rescue organisations in our wider area but that took some time to build up.

Thank you so much for your response. These are all great questions! We heavily rely on social media for marketing and promoting our organization. Where we lack in is probably asking more vet clinics to support us through flyers/ word of mouth. We will focus on creating more rapport with local veterinary hospitals!

I agree that connecting with veterinarians is going to be key.   Aligning yourself with clinics will give you an "in" when they have tough cases, especially those where the pet's family can't pursue care.  To promote your organization's reputation ask the veterinarians that you use to provide testimonials on the good work you do.

I would try to sit down with some of the local shelters or email them a few times. I get contacts like this sometimes but am overwhelmed so lose track of it because I am not in need of that help at the moment. Next time I am in need of that type of help, I vaguely remember someone had mentioned being able to help with those type of situations but then cannot remember who it was. I know, poor record keeping, but we are often pulled in multiple directions-as are you.
