Animal Welfare Professionals

Hi! This is Kimberly from Stray Kitty Rescue. We are located in Philadelphia, PA. We are a team of two full time employees. It took us about 5 months to clear our shelter of 15 cats and kittens. Now we have space for 15 new cats and kittens! We find that this has helped us be able to quarantine cats and kittens and give them proper attention and care. Prior we were loosing our minds with double or triple the cat volume. I'm sharing this as a success story thus far, and want to ask the community how y'all are clearing your shelters?

We have a standardized quarantine period  one for cats, one for dogs. The dogs is 7 days, the cats are 21days. We have developed this standard based on experience with disease outbreak in the new populations...particularly the cats. We have two open cat adoption rooms. One for under 6 months, one for over 6 months. capacity in the kitten room is 10 and the cat room is 15. We also have a fairly comprehensive  pre-adoption room protocol to reduce outbreaks in the rooms (particularly giardia and ringworm). Shutting down the rooms and isolating every cat or kitten in the adoption rooms due to an out break is not fun.
