Interview with Cindy Congdon: The Cat Mom Behind @foster_kittens

“Wouldn’t it be great to have kittens around all the time?”

That’s what Cindy Congdon, owner of the Instagram account @foster_kittens, asked her vet four years ago.

As followers of the account, the Metter Media team wanted to get inside the head of the person behind the adorable Instagram pictures. Find out what it is like to have hundreds of thousands of followers and how it helps the kittens that Congdon cares for.

In the midst of burying yourself under all the awesome, you can find that you’ve buried yourself so deep that you can’t get out. Who are these people? Why are they all getting married and having babies? Whose cats are these?? What is Snapbookspace and when did I sign up for it?!?

However, if you know how to manage social media (maybe you are coincidentally a social media manager), you can make things awesome again. Here’s how:

11 Social Media Features We WISH Existed

As professional social media fanatics, we at Metter Media spend a LOT of time online. Because of that, it should come as no surprise we have plenty of ideas that could make our (and everyone else’s) experiences better on social networking.
