I need your opinions and suggestions

[catcrazylady]

Cubby that was a good idea to put the older ones first but unfortunately the website does not allow you to put them in any certain order. I am having a hard time keeping up with who is who. The only way I can come up with doing it is to start at one side of the room and write down each name in the order that I take the picture. I may try to do the kittens last but as soon as I do another batch of pictures or update then it shoots that one to the top.
Catsnclay we also have pets shown on local news channels but the largest city/county (Louisville) has that sewn up. We are just one of many small surrounding counties. I guess they can't do them all. I have also asked the director to take a few minutes and go over everything that I have done so far and give me ANY more info that she knows so I can list quirks or special needs on the cats. Maybe I will have some new things to add by tonight. I really doubt it though because I think they just don't know either. It is really hard to say what these kitties will be like once they are free from the cages and no longer have someone constantly shoving medicine down their throats or shots stuck in their necks. I'm sure many of them would just blossom!
T&Ps mom... I don't know what Ms. Mean will think about this and I don't really care. I'm not giving it up now!! She has fallen from graces at the shelter anyway. She used to be the Assistant Director and has been demoted. She is a payed employee but she has been knocked down to nothing more than an adoption agent for the dogs. She is very good at that and that is where she needs to stay. The director has already kind of given me the heads up about her attitude and I let her know that I want to get along with everyone but I'm no shrinking violet when necessary. The cats are mine and I'm not going to stop trying to give them the best I can!!! I will take Ms. Mean down as long as I have the support of the Director (which I do). She is a cat person also. She has about 20 cats of her own and is fostering around 22 right now. I think I'm in ok with her. She thanks me all the time. I really like her.

Thanks to everyone for all the encouragement and for all the suggestions. They are welcome and needed!!

Good for you for taking over! Looks good; keep up the good work. I have to say I fell for Nipper!

[kimlovescats]

You did a WONDERFUL job, Lisa!!! I too am in love with Treat and Nipper!!!! Good thing I'm here and they are there!!!

[CatDad]

For just taking it over I think you are doing a great job. Even if you had not just taken it over you are doing a great job.

I like the multiple pictures, I think that helps alot. I also like your description, I think that they are very helpful.

BTW - Did you know that the two links after the pet list are not working. You may not have control over that, but I thought that I would let you know.

I think you got all the good suggestions, so I really don't have any. Just keep up the good work.

Thanks for the suggestion Logan but the one thing I'm trying to do is keep people out of the pictures. If you get the chance and look further into the website you will see several OLD pictures where the kitties were being held and when I look at that all I see are the people. Maybe that is just me but I found that distracting and I swore I wasn't going to do that. I may cave on that idea and if you were closer I would definately take you with me!!!

I was definitely thinking of a close up of the cats. I totally agree with you about keeping the humans out of the pictures if you can. Scott has a zoom lens on his digital camera which comes in handy for those closeups. You don't know how much I wish I could come to help you!!!

Just for another opinion, when I look at a picture I like to see what the WHOLE cat looks like. I really don't like the head only shots. But now that they allow more than one photo you are able to have both.

I am late getting in here. (yes, the game) but went and read through all your entries. I think they are fantastic! The pictures themselves are terrific - so many catching personality plus. BUT, what most impressed me was the lively and loving descriptions of each kitty!! This shows care and attention and is something that I think will be very appealing to anyone who is looking for a new pet! As I was reading, I felt very drawn to kitties that I may not have looked twice at!! Honestly, I was very impressed at your work!!

[dukedogsmom]

I think you've done a wonderful job! Keep up the good work. I can't believe that girl was being so hateful. And the cats I like are Nipper and Elvira.

[catcrazylady]

Most of you have mentioned Nipper. I think he is adorable and has been severely overlooked. When I tried to get some info on him nobody could remember. They don't remember when he came or how long he has been there. He has NEVER been listed on the web. I really think he could have gotten a home by now. I know it's hard for them to keep up but if MEAN had been doing her job then he might have already been gone. I'm seriously attracted to him and fell in love with him the minute I saw him. He gets your attention with his mustache!
My big fear is that people don't look at their pet list because the cats haven't changed for sooooo long. I don't know how to get across the message that it is now updated.
Thanks Sirrahbed for the vote of confidence! Lets hope it works

Kim, K&L, catdad...Thank you all so much! I REALLY needed to know that it was ok.

Thanks ALL of you for taking the time to look and read this for me. I can't express how much I appreciate the advice, suggestions, and pats on the back. I NEEDED them ALL!!

!!!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS !!!!!

[sqwelch]

I think you are doing a marvelous job and if MEAN could of been bothered doing it there's no way it would of been as good as you can tell the writer has a definate love of cats !!! Also can't believe that MEANs boss never noticed the neglect on the cats side after all she clearly loves cats too !!!

Great work
