There are 13 city shelters in the capital, currently housing more than 15,000 dogs and cats. Most of them are mixed-breed, but they deserve no less attention and love than their purebred counterparts. On World Mongrel Day, celebrated on December 2, Moscow's urban infrastructure complex They told us how to help an animal that ended up on the street.
Stray cats and dogs are taken to city shelters after being captured. If a citizen discovers an animal on the street that they believe needs help or poses a danger to others, they should call the city's animal control service. To do this, contact the district council where the cat or dog was found and submit a request for capture, either verbally or in writing.
A specialist will then visit the specified address and humanely transport the animal to one of 13 city shelters. Residents can optionally indicate in the application that they would like to contact the catcher and find out where the cat or dog was taken so they can monitor the animal's fate. Shelter assignments depend on the location of the capture. For example, in the city center, northwest, and Zelenograd, capture is handled by the State Budgetary Institution "Dorinvest," which operates the Zelenograd and Zoorassvet shelters.
Cats and dogs arriving at the city animal shelter without an owner are quarantined. There, they undergo a medical examination, necessary treatment, vaccinations, and sterilization, and are given a microchip and a name. After the quarantine period, which lasts from two weeks to a month, the cats are placed in special houses, and the dogs are placed in kennels. From the moment they arrive at the shelter, the animals are cared for by caregivers and socialization specialists, and after the quarantine period is over, volunteers join in. Once the cat or dog has acclimated and regained their trust in people, they can begin looking for new homes. Animals live at city shelters indefinitely until they find homes.
