Suspension of Services due to COVID-19
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have to suspend a lot of our services to protect our volunteers. It was a tough decision knowing that there are still so many animals in need. After several days of learning about the revised procedures for other rescue organizations, pet stores, and veterinarians, we have decided to go forward with the following:
1. Suspend all animal in-takes, unless a space is available at one of our current fosters. We are unable to do a home visit for potential new fosters at this time.
2. Provide TNR services in South Glengarry only, providing that the feral cats will be returned to their original location. No relocations will be possible during this time, as we are unable to visit potential new farms for feral cat relocation.
3. Volunteer Appreciation event has been postponed.
4. As per Petsmart management, in-store adoption events have been temporarily suspended. None of our animals will be at Petsmart until further notice.
5. Adoptions for potential adopters who are not well-known by members of Roy and Cher's Animal Rescue Team will be considered, but will have to wait indefinitely for the application process, as we will not be able to do home visits at this time.
6. New fosters will be limited to people who are currently well-known by members of Roy and Cher's Animal Rescue Team.
7. All social gathering fundraising events planned for March - May will be postponed. We will re-evaluate the situation mid-May, and consider both federal and provincial advice and legislation.
8. Food and litter delivery will continue for all of our fosters. Food and litter will be dropped off at the front door of foster's home. Volunteers have been instructed to not enter foster homes.
9. Food delivery will continue for all of the feral and barn cat colonies that we help care for. Food will be dropped off at the front door of each colony's primary caretaker's home.
10. T-shirt sales will continue, as this is currently our only on-going fundraiser at this time. We can ship by Canada Post, or drop off at your home if in South Glengarry.
11. We will continue to use the services of our vets until we are instructed otherwise.
Thank you for understanding.

All potential adopters must fill out an application to be eligible. Roy and Cher's Rescue Farm interviews all applications and conducts home visits. We want to ensure that a new home is a forever loving home. We do not adopt out to those who intend to declaw.
Roy and Cher's Rescue Farm does not use the term "pet" as it implies control, ownership and objectification of a non-human animal. We use the terms animal companion or companion animal instead.
