Free to Good Home Adverts

[PayItForward]

What do you think of this poster ?

I went to Pets at Home petshop today to buy litter and I was so upset with all the Free to good home adverts on their noticeboard.

So I asked if I could put a article up on the board and they said yes, so here is my first attempt.

Comments really needed

I also think it is brilliant. Very well done and personally I don't think you need to change a thing. You definitely got the point across with this poster.

I also think it's perfect! Great job!!!

[Killearn Kitties]

I think it gets the point across clearly and succinctly!

[CatDad]

I think that it is great. It is short and to the point. This is just what you want.

I think it will at least make some people think. I would not change anything.

GOOD FOR YOU
It really gets the message across

[catnapper]

I've never thought about any of that before. Its really good!

• Charge a reasonable adoption fee for your pet, as an object given freely has no value

• Investigate all offers of homes and ask questions to check the potential owners knowledge of animal care.

• Visit the potential owner at their home, before handing over your pet.

Good poster. I would only change the bullets so the second and third don't seem repetitive. They aren't, but they might if you just skim them.

I'd instead change bullet 2 to
- Investigate all potential owners, asking basic questions to check their knowledge of animal care

and bullet three to

- Ask for the chance to visit the pet's potential home, and if they resist, refuse.

Explain that you just want to make sure it is safe, and as an experienced pet owner, you'd feel responsible if something untoward happened either to the people or the animal in question.

Thanks Karen I have changed the bullets but is the above point a comment or an alteration ?

New Poster

I am also writing a list of questions for someone trying to rehome their cat to ask.

Which I'll post when I have finished but they'll be on the website not the poster, so I have changed the bottom of the poster too.

Sorry, I'd love to be able to read it.

Absolutely wonderful!! It is simple, easy to read, and direct. People will take the time to read that.
That was a fantastic idea and well put together. Good job!!!
We should all copy that and find places to post them. Some people don't care but a lot of people are just uninformed and think they are doing the right thing.
