Trying to continue animal rescue efforts and adoptions has become increasingly difficult in the wake of social restrictions due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
Animal rescues across the country saw a spike in adoptions and foster applications at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
These days, Meow Parlour, New York City's first cat cafe, doesn't house a single cat. Its doors are shuttered, like many small businesses in the city, due to. The cats that once resided inside have either been adopted or gone to live in foster homes. Even if the outbreak were to subside tomorrow, Ha said, "We don't have enough cats to reopen and call ourselves a cat cafe."
At the DC Paws Rescue in Washington, D.C, the organization received close to 300 foster applications over a four-day period in the last week of March. Usually, it has about 60 homes that are regular fosters. "It's something we've never thought we'd say," Chicago Animal Care and Control wrote in a Facebook post thanking the community. "We're so happy to bring you this news. But, we are still scheduling intake from the public, and our officers are still rescuing animals in the field, so we'll probably have more again in the coming days."However, trying to continue rescue efforts and adoptions has become increasingly difficult.
Sesame is Heather Gutshall's foster dog during the coronavirus outbreak. He was rescued from dog fighting by Handsome Dan's Rescue, a Rhode Island-based rescue organization that specializes in pit bull breeds.Some rescues that have their own medical staff are able to continue to provide vaccines to their own animals, but are only performing operations that are medically necessary.
Most shelters are not able to care for young kittens, especially if they are brought into the shelter without their mother cat. Kittens that are less than four weeks old Meow Parlour's Ha, worries that this year's kitten season will be overwhelming for rescues. She said animal organizations can use the heightened interest in fostering to tell people how important volunteering will be once the outbreak is over.Foster parent Lizzy Dawahare from DC Paws Rescue kisses Friedrich, a puppy from a litter named after the characters from "The Sound of Music." Friedrich has since been adopted.
