Anima – Statistics about Cats and Dogs (Jan-Nov 2015)!
Anima has rescued in the period 364 animals, around 33 per month or one per day! Of those, 174 were de-sexed and the remaining is only waiting a recovery and the appropriate age.
In the same period 165 animals were adopted. The huge death of animals is explained by the poor condition of them when arrived, or because they were already collected dead or by some diseases that sometimes happen in crowded shelters, even if we try our best to have a proper quarantine and hygiene.
That is one of the reasons why Anima considers adoption a master issue!
Anima adopts the policy of No-Kill and No-Cage, policies that limit our capacity to increase the number of rescues or oblige us to be more selective in our rescue operations!
Last year we rescued 379 dogs and cats and we were able to make only 166 adoptions!
Please understand, without adoptions we can not save more animals!
Please be part of the solution, please be active!
There are community members that only complain but do very few or even nothing when we need their help!
Just because we are an association that protects animals this doesn’t necessarily mean that animals can be dumped to our shelter! We need to keep a proper balance between animals and space, otherwise we are saving animals that will be killed or kill others!
Animals living with us have a life with quality! Not as good as if you could adopt or find friends to adopt them! But they have in Anima play times and thousands of visitors per year!
Our toilets are now being used as pens for animals!
We have no more space! Please understand! Even in such situation we analyze case by case before any rescue decision is taken!
Thank you!
