Given the critical shortage of PPE and intubation-related drugs at the time, veterinary professionals around the country advised suspending spay\/neuter surgeries in order to conserve the drugs and PPE for use with coronavirus patients, should the need arise. We temporarily shut our Clinic\u2019s doors, but we stayed vigilant following developments at the national level \u2013 attending weekly virtual meetings with national animal welfare organizations and shelter medicine veterinarians to discuss how best to proceed with business operations.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, experts in our field provided guidelines on how to re-open spay\/neuter clinics once local governments permit non-essential businesses to resume operations. As with other businesses, it\u2019s a tiered approach that ensures social distancing practices can be maintained at each stage. This includes implementing procedures like curbside drop-off, requiring employees and clients to wear masks, limiting the number of people in the clinic at one time, offering appointments for vaccinations (rather than the drop-in clinic we used to have), and more intensive cleaning regiments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As Napa County starts to lift restrictions, our team has been meeting regularly to discuss our protocols and plans as the order evolves. Though we\u2019ve had to remain closed to the public, <strong>we were able to resume spay\/neuter surgeries for area shelters and rescue groups<\/strong> to catch up with that backlog. This week, we started contacting individuals who\u2019d had appointments with us when we had to close \u2013 prioritizing individuals who had multiple different-sex animals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-730\" src=\"https:\/\/napahumane.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Surgery-cropped-1024x379.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/napahumane.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Surgery-cropped-1024x379.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/napahumane.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Surgery-cropped-300x111.jpg 300w, https:\/\/napahumane.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Surgery-cropped-768x284.jpg 768w, https:\/\/napahumane.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Surgery-cropped-1200x444.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/napahumane.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Surgery-cropped.jpg 1250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/>Our next phase will be to start offering <strong>first-time vaccinations for puppies and kittens<\/strong>, since they are most vulnerable to disease. These will be done by appointment only, and we are keeping appointments light to make sure our new preventative protocols are working as intended. As Napa continues to ratchet down the lockdown orders, Napa Humane will continue to expand our services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our donation-subsidized, less-than-cost services are needed now more than ever, as many pet owners in our community face new financial hardships. <\/strong>And we have some serious catch-up work to do, after suspending services for more than seven weeks!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2874\" src=\"https:\/\/napahumane.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wellnes-Blast.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"952\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/napahumane.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wellnes-Blast.jpg 952w, https:\/\/napahumane.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wellnes-Blast-300x66.jpg 300w, https:\/\/napahumane.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Wellnes-Blast-768x169.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/>The way we used to be able to offer some of our public services (particularly our drop-in vaccination clinics, walk-in availability of Advantage or Frontline, and ability to make appointments in person) probably won\u2019t look the same in this post-coronavirus world. Safety is our number one priority \u2013 for the animals, our employees and the public \u2013&nbsp; and as we find our way forward, we\u2019ll make adjustments as needed to keep everybody safe, healthy, and humanely treated.<\/p>\n<p>If you can spare a few dollars to support our efforts, we (and Napa\u2019s neediest pets) would very much appreciate the help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/napahumane.org\/donate\/make-a-donation\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2921 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/napahumane.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Donate-now.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"144\" height=\"31\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you probably know, Napa Humane suspended all clinic activities when the Shelter-in-Place order was issued.
