On "Pet Day" during WUTC's 2023 Spring Pledge Drive, Haley Solomon, joined by Nessa Parrish, went to the Naughty Cat Cafe to interview over 35 cats on Instagram Live with a miniature microphone. The interview was paired with an opportunity
for followers of the WUTC Instagram to win a pair of visitation passes to the cat cafe.
For years, "pet day" has been a recurring theme during pledge drives, in order to spike donations, as well as infuse fun and competitive energy into their fundraising efforts. Donors are encouraged to pledge in honor of their pets as the WUTC team keeps a running tally of cats, dogs, and other unique animals.
Despite the feline-oriented experience and giveaway, dogs were crowned the winner by the end of the day.
