  • Foreclosure Cats

    Service: Pro Bono Site
    The Foreclosure Cats Project arose from the efforts of a small group of individuals determined to rescue a group of 60+ cats and kittens from a home whose owner had locked them in to die when his house was foreclosed on. In dire need of immediate medical attention and facing the imminent threat of a buldozer slated to demolish the house they where they were imprisoned, the cats of the Foreclosure Cats Project confronted grim odds. Participants in the project volunteered whatever skills they had to both the rescue effort and the promotion of these cats' plight. The project grew into a major art initiative for animal lovers in the Cincinnati, Ohio area and resulted in the adoption of all but 10 of the cats and a formidable fundraising effort to offset the mounting medical costs related to saving these animals. ForeclosureCats.org was a quickly-generated site to serve a three-fold objective: provide information about the cats, including current news and press materials about them; present the cats' biographies and provide a means for them to be adopted; offer the opportunity for visitors to make donations and gain insight into the cats' particular needs.
