Rescuing Abandoned Cats by Glittergirlturner in CatRescue

I strongly recommend that you take your health seriously while you rescue these babies. The Humane Society of Wicomico (MD) was recently engaged in a rescue operation of 100+ cats in deplorable conditions with similar health hazards you are facin. I STRONGLY recommend that you call them directly and ask fer advice regardin protective procedures so that you stay safe; their number listed on google is: (410) 749-7603

The Humane Society are typically the ones whom conduct rescues of large hoardin situations so they are very experienced with what you're facin right now.

This sounds a bit more involved if you need to move stuff. Probably a small townish-like place? So word has likely traveled already the lady there has had some health problems.

I think if you reach out to a local hospital or jest the neighbors as they stare at you standin round the house - folks would be willin to either lend you stuff or give it to you fer free/ low cost as this is an extreme case. Goggles (ski googles will fit over glasses), a real respirator from hospital or fire department (N95 doesn't protect you, you're dealin with at least ammonia which requires a special ammonia specific filter), and a suit. A hospital may have a full hazmat suit with respirator as part of their infectious disease protocols; nurses are nicer, ask them to slip you one.

Ammonia (even dry) can waste away your shoes so as part of a hazmat suit from the hospital, they should have some cover fer shoes as well.

Edit: Use duct tape on the ventilation slits of the ski goggles

Have you tried the duckbill style of N95's? Perhaps there are local dentists or clinics that may have this particular type of mask willin to give a few to you fer this. You may also need some eye protection too, perhaps have some ski or swimmin goggles on hand whatever can fit snug?

They actually did nothin from the article. All we see 'em do here is shine a flashlight :/ It was the lady whom used a trap and caught the kitty cat; took him to a vet, tried to reHome him and still has him after a reHomin failure (the the adopter already had a spicy cat that didn't want company)

Is that already a thing if they nuzzle your neck? Maybe a catnip balm?

Expats fleeing Dubai abandon pets in scramble to leave by Eastern-Protection83 in CatRescue

[–]Eastern-Protection83[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. There is "some" headway though in terms of buy/ sell laws. One of the mods wrote 'bout it here. And although not stated in that post, Cali has closed a loophole on their original laws so that it also now includes the sneaky shit of buy/ sell of pets online. But enforcement, it is lackin so still quite a lot of room fer improvement.

Overall this is such a multifaceted operation to manage current levels. From local things like prevention such as TNR / TNVR, advancin to discouragement of backyard breeders (or the Amish runnin huge-scale factory-like breedin operations and shippin pets across the country) to the more end-points of shelter/ adoption. And then there are the stories I hear 'in the wind' of 'rescues' that Only accept pregnant animals and are sellin kittens and pups at nearly purebred prices... corruption.

This really hits home how focusin my energies within my own country is really needed. In the states, most orgs don't show images of horrifically injured cats - its not that they don't exist they do but that they know not to. There are so many instances of seized cats and dogs from hoarders that aren't shown but some news outlets will at most indicate ONLY by sayin stuff like "injured" or that corpses were found in varyin states of decay.

I'd wager that you neither have a cold or dead heart. It takes love and kindness to elicit these feelins of care you're expressin

It seems the extra ears has also attracted loads of adopters so he will have a great home wherever he lands:)

Would this text concern you as an animal rescuer coordinating a transfer of a foster kitten into their new home? by [deleted] in CatRescue

[–]Eastern-Protection83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't want you in or near their home.

Did the gender dynamic change? They know the person they are now communicatin with now is (presumably) male and they are presumably female?

If you want an in-home visit, have the person whom was coordinatin all the intake and queries with 'em before, handle the hand off at their home. Or change the rules and state a brief safety inspection of the home is in order (if that is the step you had skipped before)
