The collection for important equipment for the homeless animal shelter has been completed!

The homeless animal shelter is not only a temporary home for hundreds of homeless cats and dogs, but also a place where their health is fought for every day. Every day, staff members feed, treat, clean enclosures and socialize with the animals. But where there are lots of animals and people, the risk of spreading infections is extremely high. To protect both pets and staff, the shelter needs 25 antiseptic elbow dispensers. Homeless animals often arrive here weakened, with infections or parasites. Even a common cold in one cat can turn into an epidemic of rhinotracheitis if disinfection rules are not followed. Staff hands are the main “transport” for viruses, bacteria and fungi, because after handling a sick animal, staff can transfer the infection to healthy animals. Through feeding, cleaning or simple stroking, germs get on the skin, in feed or water. How can elbow dispensers help? These are wall-mounted devices that dispense antiseptic without touching hands - just press the lever with your elbow. This reduces the risk of infection, speeds up hand treatment - staff will be able to sanitize more often, even in a hurry. Let's support the installation of 25 elbow dispensers in key areas: entrances to quarantine and operating rooms, feeding and cleaning areas, and common areas for visitors and volunteers. Each dispenser will provide daily disinfection for 10+ people, reducing the risk of infection outbreaks by 70%. The shelter also needs a new generation water warmer Wikivet Heatpad to maintain a comfortable and safe body temperature for ponytail patients. This is especially important in cases when the animal's condition is critically weakened, hypothermia, post-operative period.
