Noto Peninsula - reaching out to animals in need【4】

It’s been four months since the earthquake in Noto. While television and media coverage has decreased, people are still unable to leave evacuation sites and move into emergency housing.

On April 20th, Ark took in four cats from the disaster area. They are all unique and cute cats. Staff went to the disaster area and completed intake procedures before bringing the cats to the Osaka Ark shelter.

The cat owner ran a restaurant in Ishikawa Prefecture,  however, after the disaster, it was unclear when the restaurant would reopen. While their home was separate, it was necessary to move to find a new job. They were able to find a live-in work opportunity, but pets were not  allowed. Ark was asked to temporarily take in the cats.

Understandably, the couple had conflicting feelings about surrendering the cats to the staff. Until the couple is able to move into pet-friendly housing, Ark agreed to take responsibility for their care.
