It’s tough to feel benevolent when you’re stressed out
and worried about your own life challenges. Once
you’ve had the chance to relax, reconnect with your
inner self, and see the bigger picture, you might be
more inclined to do a good deed like adopt a pet in
need of a home. That’s at least the rationale behind an
event that took place this past August 7 at MacArthur
Center (Norfolk, USA).
As part of its Live 360º Studio lifestyle sessions, the
center hosted the Norfolk SPCA’s kitten yoga class.
No, we don’t mean that; this event was literally about
kittens. Instructor, Erin Stack led participants of all
abilities in a free one-hour workout while adoptable
kittens roamed about the room. After the class, which
was scheduled for 5pm, anyone was able to adopt the
animals, paying US$50 for one or two kittens.
According to the center’s marketers, Norfolk SPCA
also accepted donations on that day.
THE TRENDZ TWIST
While kittens might be more of a natural fit for a
yoga session than puppies, you can still get creative
in developing events that encourage dog adoptions.
Think about organizing mall walks, picnics, and
family-friendly running races with adoptable puppies
and mature dogs.
