Cleanliness at the animal shelter is a matter of health and survival. When hundreds of weakened animals rescued from the streets live under one roof — some recovering from surgery while others await diagnosis and treatment — it is essential to maintain order in the kennels. A single undetected infection can spread throughout the entire facility in a matter of days and endanger even those who were already on the mend. Viruses, bacteria, and fungi are invisible but ever-present in any shelter, and the only thing preventing their spread is strict sanitation protocols.
Disinfectants, special entrance mats, surface wipes, and cleaning buckets — all of these items run out very quickly when dealing with large numbers of animals. This isn’t the most obvious expense, but it’s precisely this one that quietly saves lives every day. Without regular disinfection, even the most competent treatment becomes meaningless: a cured animal risks becoming infected again before it can find a home.
Please help us keep the ‘Pitomets’ shelter clean and safe for those who have just arrived and for those who are almost ready for a new life.
