Scales in the shelter are a necessity, without which it is impossible to ensure either proper nutrition or safe treatment of animals. This is especially true for cats, whose weight fluctuates easily and is a direct reflection of their health.
Now Penza shelter needs 12 electronic scales MIDl MT to be placed in different blocks of cat rooms. The scales of this model are accurate, compact and resistant to daily disinfection, which makes them optimal for use in the shelter. They are not designed to be permanently relocated - each scale should work in its specific room where the same animals are regularly observed.
Why do we need scales in a cat shelter? The initial weighing helps calculate food rations, especially for weakened, emaciated or obese animals. All medications (painkillers, antibiotics, parasites) are calculated by body weight - even a 200 gram error can be critical. Animals under treatment and in rehabilitation are weighed weekly, while healthy animals are weighed monthly. The scales are a tool for the shelter doctors to notice alarm signals in time, so please support the ponytails and they will thank you with a loud “meow” for your help!
