Most of us have a camera roll that is filled with pictures of our pets, fosters and permanent alike, and that type of fun relatable content can really help increase the likelihood of someone sharing a post about an adoptable pet, and therefore reach more potential adopters and volunteers. The more visibility we can give to them and their unique personalities, the better their odds someone will fall in love with them online. 

Here are some tips for taking better pictures of cats for your online posting and adoption listings: 

• Unless there's something especially funny about the photo being blurry, please try to use clear, in-focus pictures whenever possible. 

• Use natural light: Take photos in natural light, such as by a window or in a catio. 

• You can try catching the cat sleeping in a beam of sunlight, gazing out of a window, curled up in a box, or climbing on furniture. 

• Avoid using a flash

• Bring cat toys: You can try dangling a toy next to the camera lens to get the cat to look into the camera. 

• Get down low: Shooting from above minimizes the subject, so try shooting from their eye level. 

• Play with different settings and functions: You can try using HDR, timer, and burst modes. 

• Focus on the face: You can zoom in for close-ups of the cat's face. Portrait mode on most smart phones can add depth to the shot. 

• Edit and revise: use free tools like Canva to edit your pictures and use layouts to make them eye catching.
