Hello everyone,
KittyKind is a small cat-rescue and adoption group in NYC that specializes in adopting special-needs cats. KittyKind has started a "Meow Library" of translated resources. It uses translated material from other shelters/rescue groups that it collaborates with, as well as creates its own material. Currently, the translations are in Spanish, but since the group is in NYC, there are many other languages for which translation will be useful. KittyKind has many bi-lingual volunteers who have offered to proofread an initial translation from a Microsoft Word Translate.
Thank you to the other groups who communicated how they print the materials with a QR code and display the materials at the adoption site. KittyKind is going to do that, also, The QR code eliminates the need to have multiple paper copies on site. Regards.
Meow Library
Meow is universal. Human talk is not. To expand our audience, KittyKind is translating our resource materials.

Help us create a repository of translated materials in Maddie's Pet Forum! This month, our resource drive focus is on sharing examples of materials that your organization offers in a language other than English.
The best way to reach your community members is to speak their language. According to the US Census, in 2019 the number of people in the US who spoke a language other than English at home was 67.8 million which is almost 1 in 5 households.
You can participate in 2 ways:
1. Reply to this post and upload/share materials that your organization has in a language other than English * (See Pro-tips for sharing resources at the bottom of this post)
2. Reply with a request for a specific resource you're looking for in a specific language
🤑 Participation = Your Entry To Win 🤑
Everyone who uploads a file, shares a resource on this thread or replies with a successful foster technique during the month of April will be entered to win a $50 gift card to Amazon, Petco or PetSmart (winner's choice). Your reply will also enter you to win a $3k grant! Start sharing now!
*Pro-Tips for sharing resources:
Use the "Upload File" button when replying to this thread to attach a file. We encourage you to attach the file versus hyperlinking to the file whenever possible. Files that are attached to discussion threads are automatically added to the Maddie's Pet Forum Resource Library so attaching helps make the resource searchable and improves accessibility within the forum.
Yes, you can share resources that your organization did not create. Sharing is caring and this applies to resources too! Make sure the creator allows the resource to be shared publicly and be sure to give credit to the creator or source organization.
