Cat´s identity May 21, 2022

I get the limitations of a so-called Facebook page, but breaking the Facebook rules by setting up a personal profile in a fake name does not inspire trust, and you need donors to trust you to make donations. A donor would want to know that there is an actual shelter behind this and that it's not just a scam profile or page.


that´s a good point, I agree. I think the page must be not mine, but one of my cat´s who will act as the spokesman for all those in the shelter. And here Comrade Catimir Felinsky shall be perfect.

Thomas is right, and trust is everything in those matters. You could go for something along the lines of Yevgeni Gerasimenko's animal shelter, featuring Comrade Felinsky and his cool clowder of cats.

also very cute fictional name is C'mell [kem'el] (see wikipedia), from the 1960s


just for eventual reference, it's also pronounced [s'iimel]
can't help not mentioning this surprising comment back from 2008: "But on the other hand, there’s always Norstrilia. I imagine the promo for that movie sounding something like ‘A Boy, A Cat and a Computer conquer the Earth – to buy a postage stamp!’" http://cordwainer-smith.com/blog/cordwainer-smith-at-the-movies.html

Comrade Felinsky May 23, 2022

This one will be the face of my Shelter. Originally, I have called him Tumba Johansson, but from now on he will be Comrade Felinsky
