The Cat's Cradle Advertising Campaign aims to increase awareness and engagement among college-aged students and retirement community residents regarding the issue of stray cat overpopulation in the Shenandoah Valley. Through targeted outreach events, presentations, and social media campaigns, our objective is to boost awareness of foster and adoption programs by 20% among students aged 18-24 and by 40% among community members aged 60+. Primary research, including surveys at local universities, reveals significant opportunities to foster relationships and increase community involvement in cat welfare efforts.
