Our rescue work continues with 167 Palomacy foster birds currently sheltering in place. We don’t have a sanctuary to close. All of our birds are cared for in the homes and backyard aviaries of our volunteers. We are limiting our movements to only the essential, we are miming air hugs rather than giving the tight squeezes we usually share. There is no slow down in the number of new birds needing help but all of the adoption fairs and outreach events are cancelled…

I have been at a loss for words while deeply moved by the eloquence of many.

GlobalGiving CEO Alix Guirrer, beautifully expressed in his Don’t Let a Virus Stop a Mission post what I struggle to articulate:

Most of our partners, however, aren’t directly involved in frontline efforts to stop the coronavirus. They’re deep in uncharted waters, too. Their economic struggle isn’t making headlines or mentioned in press conferences. But their work—to preserve the Amazon, to rescue stray dogs, to shelter the homeless—has never been harder, and it must go on. Suddenly, they must find a way to fundraise without a gala, educate without a classroom, rally their staff without four walls to unite them…

And so it is.

The Cat Town team, a rescue who, like Palomacy, focuses on adoptions for the “unadoptables”, changing minds and winning hearts all over the state, country and beyond writes:

In difficult times, we turn to family, friends, and the familiar comfort of our favorite places. Cat Town is all of these things for many of us. Thank you, as always, for helping us remain a safe refuge for cats who have no place else to go, and our deepest gratitude for anything you are able to do to help us weather this pandemic.

Our Palomacy family doesn’t have a homebase to share but we cherished our times together each weekend at outreach and adoption events– working and sweating together, hugging and laughing, teasing and consoling, holding each other up through the normal tough times which we of course all miss more than ever during this most awful and not normal time.

Palomacy is here. We are here if you need our help and, as always, we still need yours.

The thought that sticks in my head is of those ‘Take a penny, leave a penny’ trays. We are all in need and we all have much to give- in whatever form it may be.

Palomacy loves you. We are each others’ friends and family and no social distance can change that.

Please take very good care. Be healthy. Have hope.

You can reach me at Elizabeth@PigeonRescue.org and help is always available in our Palomacy Group.

Thank you for helping Palomacy to help so many! And please- adopt, volunteer and donate– so that we can help more.
