Media wowed by summer cat condom campaign
July 20, 2010Tom cat tomfoolery – Got a most unusual enclosure in a press release from Amy Angelilli, executive director of the Rocky Mountain Alley Cat Alliance: Tom Cat condoms, cat-size birth control products with this legend: “Prevent a litter, cover your critter.”
The condoms aren’t real, but they’re an attention-grabbing way to spotlight a real problem. The warm weather months are “kitten season,” and there are just too many cats to deal with these days.
“While these condoms cannot prevent a litter, spaying or neutering does,” says a message on the back of the condom package.
It’s all a promotion for the Denver-based Alliance’s “Beat The Heat” promotion. The Alliance is marking the first anniversary of its Feline Fix spay/neuter clinic. Cat guardians will receive a discount on surgeries when they mention “Beat The Heat” while making a reservation for their feline to be fixed.
The Alliance is hoping to lower the number of cats euthanized in Colorado . There were 24,000 in 2008.

- Join the Stray Cat Strut planning committee. The committee meets one Thursday evening a month for planning purposes. As the event gets closer, the committee will meet on Sundays to put together baskets, coordinate packages, arrange displays, complete bid sheets and do other fun activities.
- Donate an item to the silent or live auction. There are so many exciting items that make for a fantastic Strut. Some of them include: restaurant gift certificates, pet supply store gift cards, trips, wine, spa – especially massage – gift certificates, cat towers, theater tickets, fancy cat themed items, ski passes, condos in the mountains, garden supplies and much more! Deadline for donations is Saturday, May 1. Any donations received after that time will be held until next year. RMACA is accepting donations from Wednesday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Purchase a sponsorship for your business or employer. Sponsor opportunities are available from $150 to $2,000! All include benefits that will put your business or employer in front of RMACA’s constituency, so you’ll have great visibility in front of a new audience and be supporting the cats!
