State-of-the-art rescue shelter design minimizes infectious disease
State-of-the-art rescue shelter design minimizes infectious disease
Cats were housed singly or in pairs in the English cat shelter pictured in these photographs. Acrylic plastic doors onto the communal corridor (A) prevented transmission of airborne fomites. The cats had access to a naturally ventilated outdoor pen through a cat flap (B). Excellent shelter design resulted in fewer infectious disease problems.
