Boosting!! Please be very careful when vetting potential adopters. I know Halloween is behind us but I don’t put it past people to do awful things to black kitties this time of year. Make sure you check references!
Marketing is sooooo critical. Can you get a pretty blanket to use as a backdrop? Maybe gold or green to compliment their eyes, not too dark, and set it up facing a window with morning light or in a well lit room. I use jingle toys and liquid treats to get their attention. The treats sometimes get cute nose licking photos too :)
Attaching a not great example of one of my kittens from a post here, Triplet. Obviously he's still recovering but the bright lighting and the blanket backdrop helps him to stand out!
All excellent points! A light background, set up near a window, will be key for photographing your voids. Try to get another person to help you: one of you to take the pictures, one to work the toys and treats (Churru are great motivators lol).
Now you've posted on the right place. I hope you find the potential adopters for them. Be careful though. In Pakistan, there are many scammers who pretend that they are genuinely interested but after they take the cats from you, they either sell them, abandon them or if it's a Persian they use them for breeding. Boosting your post for visibility 🖤🖤🖤
Also OP, try joining Facebook groups and try contacting Todd Wellfare Society and other shelters. Although, they don't take cats unless they're sick. They will at least put up a story for you which can reach a large audience. It will still take a while but you might get some adopted after some time. There are also individuals in Lahore and Islamabad who are doing rescues but they also only take sick animals. You can still try everything, though. Wishing you all the best. It's sad that our country doesn't have shelters or animal care organizations.
Btw everyone, OP is from Pakistan. The same country as me. Our country doesn't have shelters and people are generally not interested in adopting strays. There's also this superstition around black cats. That's why she needs help in getting them adopted. She is genuinely struggling as she is quite young and still caring for these babies despite her family against it.
