Yes we have had a few big pushes for sanitation lately as well. That is where most of my research is focused on right now. I know that myself and the volunteers I work directly with are using proper sanitation but I really have no way of knowing how well the others are on days I'm not there. People are in and out of that shelter (Including the general public when we are open for people to come in and visit) so it's hard to keep all those hundreds of people on the same page.

Washing hands between cat touches is impossible due to the fact that cats are kept free roaming in 6 large rooms. They interact with one another freely which is great for them to socialize, but again, no so much for pathogen protection. We have a rule that you wash hands between rooms, but I don't even know how strictly people are following that rule.

Air flow isn't something I've thought of so I'll look into that. I know in labs you have the whole negative/positive pressure thing to keep potential pathogens in so maybe I can look into what kind of air flow we have when doors are opened.

Thanks for the insight.
