Temporary Closure of Walk In Hours & Intakes
Due to a high number of feline intakes, including many stray cats and vulnerable kittens, Eastshore Humane Association is currently working closely with our trusted veterinary partner due to a suspected case of feline panleukopenia (FPV) within our shelter.
The health and safety of the animals in our care remains our highest priority. We are following veterinary guidance and implementing strict precautions, including isolation procedures, enhanced cleaning and disinfection, and quarantine protocols to help protect the cats currently in our care and reduce the risk of further spread.
Out of an abundance of caution, Eastshore Humane Association will be temporarily closing walk-in hours and suspending all cat surrenders and stray cat intakes while we complete the recommended quarantine and monitoring period. During this time, the shelter will operate by appointment only for approved services.
We understand this may be an inconvenience for our community, especially those who have found stray cats or need assistance, but these temporary precautions are necessary to protect the health of the animals currently depending on us. We appreciate your patience, understanding, and support as we work diligently to ensure our shelter remains a safe environment for every animal.
Cats that are current on their FVRCP vaccination have significantly more protection against feline panleukopenia than those who are unvaccinated. If your cat is due for vaccinations, we encourage you to contact your veterinarian to ensure they remain up to date.
If you find a stray cat or have questions about surrendering a cat during this temporary closure, please contact us by phone or email so we can discuss available options.
