Coronavirus and Our Temporary Operations

Dear Customers, Clients and Friends:

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones during these uncertain times, and like so many, I have a heavy heart as I hear each day about the impacts COVID-19 is having on our communities.

Like so many other businesses, we at Fur Cat’s Sake must do our part to slow the spread of this virus. My small team of volunteers and I began canceling all grooming appointments last week when the Shelter-in-Place order was announced. However, we will continue to be available to assist any cats with emergency needs, implementing a newly established safety support structure. Your cat’s health and well-being continue to be a key priority for me. My goal is to minimize service disruptions or impacts on caring for your cat(s).

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have a concern about your cat(s) so that we can discuss the potential urgency of scheduling an appointment.

Necessary Services

Let me summarize some of our safety protocols being applied to help keep us available to you while keeping you and my team protected.

Retail: Our cat food and supply delivery service will continue to be available to you. It is considered an ‘essential’ business because we are delivering food and litter supplies to your cats at home. However, my team and I will act responsibly running this portion of the business by implementing public health guidance steps and procedures immediately. For your convenience, there is a button below to visit our online shop or you may call in your order at any time.
Grooming Services: We have cancelled all grooming appointments until after April 7^th and are prepared to continue canceling appointments after that date if this pandemic continues to be a threat. However, we are prepared to see any cats that are in urgent need of our help. We have a temporary new protocol in place for how we meet and greet you for treatments, should you need our grooming services during the Shelter-in-Place order.
Free Services: Because a considerable portion of my clientele is in a high-risk group, I'd like to offer:
Free pick-up and drop-off services for your cat should your cat need veterinarian attention and/or grooming services.
I am personally available to bring groceries back to you to limit the exposure you have to the public. Please just ask me.

Gentle Reminders

Assisting Your Cat: What a great time to bond with your kitty. As most of you are now working from home, this is a perfect opportunity to pay closer attention to your cat and his/her coat condition and grooming needs. Use those grooming tools you have at home to comb and brush through their coats daily to prevent matting. Please remember to never use scissors to cut out any mats. Don’t hesitate to call me if you need help or guidance on how to care for your cat at home.

Disinfectants: Be careful with the cleaning supplies you use to disinfect your household. Remember that cats spend a good portion of their day licking themselves all over. It is for this reason that you want to be conscious of the ingredients in your household cleaners. Please check out this article on disinfectants that are safe to use around cats. https://cat-world.com/disinfectants-safe-for-cats.html

How much kid can your cat take: Please be conscious of the new environment being created for your cats at home. As creatures that thrive on routine, cats may exhibit behavioral and grooming issues now that their space is being invaded all day. Remind family members that Sheltering-in-Place is hard for everyone and that everyone can benefit from some peaceful down-time. Here is a link to some very beneficial products that we sell to help calm your cat should you find him/her a little on edge. https://shop.furcatssake.com/health-wellness/behavior/

It is inspiring to see communities, our nation and the world coming together to fight this pandemic. I consider my team and myself part of your community and we will remain dedicated to supporting you all with your cat needs through this unprecedented time and beyond. Please stay safe and know that you can count on us!

Sincerely,

Irene Leija
