April ActivityAs I ponder what to do for the April activity, I looked for ways to impact everyone. I thought that and it's not just with humans, but it will be with animals. That's why I decided to contact PAWS and ask about what they need and the appropriate time to go. This is because of all the restrictions because of the pandemic.
A little background with Paws. As indicated on their website,
PAWS is a registered non-profit organization that is dedicated to the protection and the promotion of humane treatment of all animals. from

Preparation: They want a bunch of cat food and cleaning materials. Most of their donators are always thinking that if it's animal welfare and they house a shelter, they will always think about dogs. So most of the donations and animal food that they have consisted of most dog food. It's one of the reasons I contacted them on what they need because they might have a request, hence the cat food that they need.
Activity: They gave us a shelter tour of how the animals are housed and how their operations work. Let me share with you what I've learned about them as well.
This is their receiving area in which the donations are going to be drop off there (if there's no shelter tour)
There is also the memorial part of the shelter where there is a fee with putting your pet (another source of their income) that would symbolize how they could visit a type of "grave" for their pets. No actual remains are there, just a place where
furrents can visit when they feel the need.
Before animals are housed there or helped, they have these quarantine areas to prevent the spreading of possible viruses and diseases to those already in the shelter. This is part of their protocol according to the government's regulations in how shelters should work.
After the animals finish their quarantine stage and are checked by the veterinarian, they are now placed into their real shelter. IIRC, Some of their places are called "Cattery" and Kittenery." They have this catwalk and some dogs who are free to roam in some sense. They also have this doggie park.
When the animals get sick, they are put into a separate area, depending on their condition. They have severe and mild conditions places. And also a separate room for animals with disabilities. They also have a dedicated vet clinic for their needs, of course.
I only managed to capture the images for the cat's places because the place for the dogs are pretty hard to get into and hard to take a clear picture of it They have a vast area in the city, so it's great to see that it's very well taken care of with all the recent happenings. I'm happy that we can help them. Thanks to everyone who has supported this initiative.

This is the result of people who have kind hearts to donate to this Bitcointalk Charity. Having it anonymously done makes it even more special. So thank you for the donations. To more events like this!
