Hello,

Let me introduce myself, my name is James Thomson and I am a vet student at the University of Nottingham. Shelter medicine is a big interest of mine and I have been involved in local shelter work for a big part of my life. In the interest of keeping this short, I will cut to the chase. As part of my dissertation, I am studying what motivates people to adopt cats and the results I obtain will be used by cat shelters to target and increase rates of adoption. I NEED YOUR HELP if you have adopted a cat in the last year or are in the process of adoption. If you have the time and would like the chance to win a £50 pets at home voucher, I would greatly appreciate your participation in my survey which can accessed on the following link (it takes approximately 10 minutes and your time would really mean a lot to me)

www.surveymonkey.com/r/cats123

(PS. If you have adopted in the last 5 years and still remember your motives at the time and the process, please feel free to participate from that perspective)

As the questionnaire will be used in person at shelters as well, there may be some questions that do not make sense. Feel free to leave anything blank or answer as if you were filling it in at the shelter you adopted from.

Thank you so much for considering taking part in my survey. I look forward to receiving some of your responses. My contact details are on the questionnaire so any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me. 

Kind Regards,

James Thomson.

Hi Stephen, 

Not sure how many of the responses came from viewing this particular post on this particular website but I've now had 200 responses through my publicising. 

Thank you for taking part.

Kind Regards,

James.

Cool and good luck with it. One of my cats is blind from birth and she is amazing. You can check her out at Facebook.com/jennytheblindcat. You don't need an account to view it, it's public.

Also FYI, I work with the field investigation and response team of the ASPCA doing national response to animal cruelty cases and disasters.

All the best
Stephen

I completed your survey, but I am from the US so I didn't complete the information at the end, but if you wish to ask me additional questions, I am the one who adopted the cat from the Shelter so I could get her medical care.
