Furkids, headquartered in Atlanta, GA, is a nonprofit charitable organization that operates the largest cage-free, no-kill shelter in the Southeast for rescued cats and Sadie’s Place, a no-kill shelter for dogs.
One shelter volunteer, Helen Preston, came up with a brilliant idea – to make an low budget commercial to present the animals from the shelter on social media. Her brother, Paul Preston, also a volunteer, cooked up an amazing concept and he also plays the part of the used car salesman-esque character in the video.
The commercial has become viral and is generating a lot of attention on social media. Since being posted to Reddit, the shelter has been inundated with donations and adoption applications.
Paul introducing the cats to the viewers as a sales pitch in an infomercial format.
“Do you like black cats?” he asks the viewers while pointing to a pair of black kittens. “We got the blackest cats you’ve ever seen. It’s like midnight inside a coffin over here.” The humor continues, you have to watch the funny commercial!
