Romeo The Cat Raises Rescue Funds With Twitter
Posted in: Animal Rescue, News Tags: Animal Rescue, animals in distress, romeo the cat, social media for change, twitter
Here’s a unique and innovative way of using social media: Romeo the cat (and his buddy Pugsley) are using Twitter to raise funds for rescue organizations. For every follower they get on Twitter, they donate 5 cents to animal rescue. Twitterers are encouraged to donate to the cause, as well.
For the month of March, 2009, I’m pleased to report that the proceeds from the campaign will go to Animals in Distress, the no-kill shelter at which I volunteer each week. I offer Reiki to the animals there and hold Reiki classes for the volunteers.
If you use Twitter, please support Romeo‘s campaign by following @romeothecat on Twitter.
