"Looks like someone left the kitty making machine on overnight, and now we have a cat-astrophe on our hands!"
The Winnipeg Humane Society has come up with a bit of viral marketing genius for their latest adopt-a-cat campaign! Modeled after a late night commercial you'd expect to see for cars or furniture, the adorable spot is really aimed at moving out shelter cats. Pitchman Andy Hill, a real life furniture salesman of Kern Hill Furniture Co-op, also located in Winnipeg, implores shoppers to give these kitties a forever home. No matter what you're looking for - girl cats, boy cats, used-to-be boy cats, new models with that new kitten smell, cute cats, lazy cats to cover up the hole on your couch - they have it all, and more (including a one of a kind cat that looks like a pig!).
Unfortunately, the Midnight Madness event itself isn't real, but you can stop by the Humane Society during normal business hours to pick up your preferred model today (no trade-ins!).

What a brilliant marketing idea :)
We loved Andy Hill's patter - we were worried he thought he'd sold them all to us!!
Wasn't that the best! I was ready to drive all the way from Virginia just to hit the sale of "get 5 free"!
We bet that commercial will get lots of cats adopted!! Good job!!
Now this will have folks barging down the doors!
Brilliant.
