Halifax Cat Rescue Society cannot assist in urgent emergency situations for two main reasons:
HCRS is made up of less than a dozen core volunteers. We are unpaid and therefore have day jobs and other responsibilities. This inhibits us from being able to act quickly when a true emergency arises.
Also, because HCRS uses foster homes instead of having a fixed shelter location, it takes much more time to organize a rescue endeavour than if we had an immediate place to take a cat between the time a cat is rescued and the time it is vetted and then brought to a foster home.
These restrictions do not mean we do not want to help, and we will if we can, but we always advise that you contact one of the contacts that are equipped to handle emergencies at all times.
