Would appreciate feedback
This is NOT intended as spam and I am truly looking for suggestions.
Kiki, my cat of 19 years died some time ago and I swore I wouldn't get another... just too painful to lose them. That lasted two weeks and I got Scooter and then a companion for her... Bandit. I'm in my late 50's and retired. I worried something could happen to me where I would be incapacitated and unable to communicate with someone (I'm at an age people have strokes) and my cats would die from lack of food or water. I went onto the net to try and find a service that would help but there wasn't any... so, I created one. Caroline and I got very involved with this project and we decided to put all the profit into animal welfare. Our site just went online (finally) this last week... so, naturally I am trying to draw traffic to the site. We have applied for 201(3)c (non profit) status. It's taken a lot of hard work to put this together and what I need from pet owners is feedback on the idea. We also had the idea of a service where people would check in every few days and if they failed to check in we'd initiate a rescue (see the site to understand this). This is the service I originally went looking for but couldn't find. We started out with this idea but withdrew it because my thoughts are that people would not take the time to check in regularly... it would sound good to them, they'd sign up... and then not use the service and my attitude is I don't want anyone paying for something they don't use. Some people thought it was a great idea for folks over 60 but I'm thinking most folks over 60 don't have access to a computer... I'm mostly talking about people who live alone and don't have much contact... or even older couples. Actually, anyone could get in an accident and leave pets unattended. I seriously worried about my cats because, quite frankly, if something happened to me and Caroline I'm not sure anyone would know it for a week or two and that could be too late for Scooter and Bandit. We came up with an idea we think is affordable and useful and can contribute to funding the front line workers who try to save animals. Caroline and I would deeply appreciate any constructive ideas or comments you might have about the service. Please visit us and take a look... http://www.petownersfriend.org/ .... and to visit the website (entirely non commercial) I created in memory of Kiki the cat, for whom I have really dedicated this service... visit... http://www.thetuxedocat.com/ Thanks from both of us... Caroline and Stan Please feel free to drop us a line or post here... |
