Volunteer of the Month – August 2021

Congratulations to our August Volunteer of the Month – Gen Gallagher! Gen has been working as our social media assistant since August 2020 and is doing an awesome job. Gen’s job is a behind the scenes job that is critical to helping cats get adopted. Gen keeps track of available cats and kittens and writes short descriptions for posts on Social Media (both Facebook and Instagram). It requires a knowledge of the social media platforms as well as Buffer, our scheduling software. The job also requires updating our Social Media spreadsheet so we can track who has been promoted. Not only has Gen kept up with posting cats on all of our social media (often 3 or 4 posts a week), she came up with an idea to increase our followers on Instagram and put it into action. She made a gift basket and then had people on Instagram enter by following us, liking the post and tagging 2 friends. It was a success and we are getting close to 900 followers. There’s no stopping Gen as she is already planning the next promotion when we reach 900 followers. Thank you Gen!
