"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.org/awcc/\">Commission of Animal Control and Welfare\u003c/a> is scheduled today to discuss a controversial new city policy for dealing with feral cats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, the city has relied on volunteers to trap feral cats and their kittens, keep them together in shelters for several weeks, and then spay and release the mother before putting the kittens up for adoption.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘Based on what we saw, and what colleagues around the nation saw, the idea of keeping a wild cat in confinement for weeks while she’s nursing her litter is no longer the right thing to do.’\u003ccite> Dr. Jennifer Scarlett \u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>This was aimed at reducing the city’s feral cat population, which used to be in the thousands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfspca.org/\">San Francisco SPCA\u003c/a> and San Francisco Animal Care and Control have instituted a new policy that allows the mothers and kittens to stay together in the wild longer, until the kittens are weaned. They are then trapped and taken to the shelter, where the mother is spayed and released quickly, and the kittens go up for adoption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Jennifer Scarlett, San Francisco SPCA president, says the intense stress that feral mothers experience in the shelter is so traumatic that they often get sick or stop eating or nursing, which can also affect the kittens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ll see upper respiratory disease, and we’ll see that also affect the kittens,” says Scarlett. “We’ve had mothers who have bloody urine and we’ll also see mothers stop nursing and stop eating. We see a range of issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new policy, Scarlett says, is a small shift from the previous policy, but seeks to better balance the welfare of the mother with the safety of her kittens. It minimizes the amount of time the mothers have to stay confined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Based on what we saw, and what colleagues around the nation saw, the idea of keeping a wild cat in confinement for weeks while she’s nursing her litter is no longer the right thing to do,” said Scarlett. “What we’re advocating now is that if there’s a queen [mother cat] and a litter in a safe space and she’s taking care of them, leave them there until the kittens are about 3 to 4 weeks old, and then bring them in. That way we can separate the kittens from the mother, spay her, and get her right back out to where she’s most comfortable, and still socialize those kittens.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘What we’re really balancing is the mother’s welfare with the kittens’ welfare, and it’s not always black and white. And I think that’s difficult for a lot of people to understand.’\u003ccite> Dr. Jennifer Scarlett \u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But some animal advocates are concerned that the new policy puts the kittens at risk for disease or death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The concern is that we won’t catch the kittens in time to be socialized, and that’s a possibility, or that kittens will be unsafe,” said Scarlett. “And what we say is if they are in danger or they’re sick or they’re orphaned, please bring them in. But again, if there’s a mother taking care of them, that’s really the best place for them to be until they can start to eat solid food. So what we’re really balancing is the mother’s welfare with the kittens’ welfare, and it’s not always black and white. And I think that’s difficult for a lot of people to understand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maria Conlon, co-director of the Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue, is concerned for the safety of both mother cats and kittens in the wild. The mothers have to fend for food and protect their kittens from predators. Kittens are often undernourished and get sick.

They are then trapped and taken to the shelter, where the mother is spayed and released quickly, and the kittens go up for adoption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Jennifer Scarlett, San Francisco SPCA president, says the intense stress that feral mothers experience in the shelter is so traumatic that they often get sick or stop eating or nursing, which can also affect the kittens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We see a range of issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new policy, Scarlett says, is a small shift from the previous policy, but seeks to better balance the welfare of the mother with the safety of her kittens. It minimizes the amount of time the mothers have to stay confined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Based on what we saw, and what colleagues around the nation saw, the idea of keeping a wild cat in confinement for weeks while she’s nursing her litter is no longer the right thing to do,” said Scarlett. “What we’re advocating now is that if there’s a queen [mother cat] and a litter in a safe space and she’s taking care of them, leave them there until the kittens are about 3 to 4 weeks old, and then bring them in. That way we can separate the kittens from the mother, spay her, and get her right back out to where she’s most comfortable, and still socialize those kittens.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘What we’re really balancing is the mother’s welfare with the kittens’ welfare, and it’s not always black and white.

But again, if there’s a mother taking care of them, that’s really the best place for them to be until they can start to eat solid food. So what we’re really balancing is the mother’s welfare with the kittens’ welfare, and it’s not always black and white. And I think that’s difficult for a lot of people to understand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maria Conlon, co-director of the Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue, is concerned for the safety of both mother cats and kittens in the wild.

It’s cold hell. It’s a cold hell,” said James Smith, who has been living on the streets of the Tenderloin for over a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith — wearing four jackets, standing next to a wheelchair he uses when his sciatica acts up, and a pile of his belongings covered by half of a blue tarp with holes in it — said he hasn’t been offered any services or housing by the city, despite the storms. Although the police haven’t bothered him, he said they have been confiscating nearby tents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeless advocacy groups agree. They say police have been seizing tents and survival supplies from people living on the streets before the storms.

Edwards and his coworkers normally check on people living on the streets at least three times a week, but they increase that to nearly every day when the weather is bad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says San Francisco has one of highest rates of homeless people per capita, and there aren’t options for the thousands living on the city’s streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one’s telling us that they’re being offered services,” Edwards said. “No one’s telling us that they’re being offered a place in a shelter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to San Francisco’s Department of Homeless and Supportive Housing (HSH), the city opens up an additional 75 shelter beds or more if one of the following conditions are met:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Temperatures forecast to drop to or below 40 degrees for two consecutive days or longer\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Rainfall forecast to be 1.5 inches or more each day for two consecutive days\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Rainfall forecast to be 0.75 inches or more on each of three or more consecutive days or longer\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Forecasts of temperatures to drop to or below 45 degrees AND rainfall to be 0.5 inches or more AND winds of more than 30 miles per hour all within the same 24 hour period for one or more days\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>HSH Director Jeff Kositsky said his department has voluntarily opened up those additional beds, including during the most recent storm, even though the required criteria were never met. If 70 of the 75 beds are used on any given night, the city expands its response by opening additional shelters as needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“No one’s telling us that they’re being offered services. No one’s telling us that they’re being offered a place in a shelter.”\u003ccite>Brian Edwards\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“I was proud of our efforts last week. And I’m really proud of the staff that are out in the rain in the cold trying to help people,” Kositsky said. “Again, our protocols are good. But as long as anybody is out on the street, whether it’s raining or not, we still have more work to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department said it will continue to offer 75 additional shelter spots through Monday morning. But Edwards, of the Coalition on Homelessness, says the city is overloaded.
