三、HPR Rescue CEO對那些認為寵物導致幼兒過敏而想要rehome寵物的 owner 提出公開呼籲如下:
標題:ALLE ...
底下HPR Rescue CEO對於寵物主人的呼籲與建議 (其洋洋灑灑的15點建議,能作到的主人有幾個人?若當中有幾點做不到,是否就代表寵物主人的家人、及與其寵物有可能接觸的任何人,比如搭同一部電梯的其中住戶或是到餐廳等公共場所,嬰幼兒就很可能 誘發/引起 過敏症狀,而出現呼吸方面的問題)
SUGGESTIONS FOR PET ALLERGIES.
1. BEFORE REHOMING YOUR PET DUE TO ALLERGIES,
PLEASE HAVE YOUR DOCTOR TO DO A SPECIFIC ALLERGY TEST FOR PET DANDRUFF.
2. Switch your clay litter to Feline Pine or any other non-clay litter,
The above may not seem important but it has magically cure allergies in many people that have contacted me that want it to re-home their cats.
Clay litter put a lot of dust in the air you breath and also on your pet, it is really not good for neither of you.
3. Wash your hands immediately after you touch your cat to avoid transferring allergens directly from your cat to your eyes, mouth, or skin.
4. Clean. Allergens accumulate and it takes a large amount to produce a reaction in most people, so cleaning and dusting your home every week will reduce your symptoms. Try using a hypoallergenic dusting cloth, which uses static electricity to trap dust particles, instead of dispersing them into the air the way a feather duster would.
5. Brush your cat to remove loose hair and dried saliva. Remove the hair from the brush immediately and put it into a closed trash can.
6. Bathe your cat. If you begin bathing your cat as a kitten and use only very gentle shampoos designed for cats, she may learn to tolerate it.
Please do not leave your cat wet, after bathing, blow dry.
Note: When bathing the cat, do the final rinse with distilled water to wash away dried saliva dust.
Tap water leaves residues on the cat's fur and may make matters worse.
7. Wipe your cat daily with a washcloth, DO NOT use moist towels containing ALOE or TEA TREE OIL as it is highly TOXIC to cats.
8. Here is something you can get RID of-Your carpet. Carpets can hold allergens for years. Also wooden and metal furniture is much easier to clean and keep dust free than plush couches and chairs. You can try tie-on washable chair cushions, and toss them into the wash every couple weeks.
9. Buy washable curtains and blinds, and wash them on a regular basis.
10. Place filters or cheese cloths over all vents, and then wash or replace them frequently.
11. Buy an air purifier. Everyone, whether they are allergic to cats or not, can benefit from the addition of an air filter to their home. These filters will remove allergen particles from the air. HEPA air filters work very well.
12. Create and allergy free zone preferably in your bedroom.
13. Hire someone else to clean your home or ask a non-allergic family member to dust and sweep.
Some allergy sufferers find that they have reactions while cleaning, or that they are simply too busy to clean as well as they should.
Try allergy-reducing pet sprays (LoShed and Allerpet). These are new products and so there aren't many reports or articles on their effectiveness, but they are supposed to reduce dander and shedding, which in turn reduces the number of allergens released into the air.
14. Look into allergy treatments. There are a variety of over the counter and prescription medicines on the market for allergies. Many people report that these medications work well for them, and this has the added benefit of treating all of your allergies at once. You can also get allergy shots from your doctor, but the shots must be administered frequently in the beginning.
Many people are having great success with acupuncture and homeopathic medicine.
Many owners tolerate mild allergies.
Those whose symptoms worsen during moulting seasons find that antihistamine tablets, nasal sprays. can help during these seasons..
15. Designate a room in your house only for the cat or dog and restrict access to the rest of the house. In warm weather climates, outdoor enclosures/screen in porches work very well for cats. If you are absolutely positive that you are allergic to pets or to your pets and you DO NOT want to bother and decide to re-home them.
Please keep these things in mind.
1. NEVER OFFER YOUR PET "FREE TO GOOD"
If you do your pet could easily end up in a research lab or it can be used as bait for people who are engaged in dog fights.
There is good people out there, but there is also bad, so be careful and always charge an adoption fee, even if it is small.
2. If you d ecide to turn your pet into a shelter, please keep in mind that in kill shelters, owner surrender pets are the first ones to be killed, regardless of color, sex or age.
3. Do seek a rescue group to help you place your pet((s).
Many rescue groups are No Kill, so chances are they all full, however since your allergies are most likely NOT going to be gone as soon as you get rid of your pet, please try to work with a rescue group and keep your pet, until a good responsible adopter comes along.
4. Please before re-homing your pet please be sure is SPAY OR NEUTERED.
On another note:
If you are absolutely positive that you are allergic to pets, but always want it to have one.
Below are some things you can do.
1. Volunteer at a shelter or rescue group.
2. Walk a dog or take care of a cat for a neighbor or family. member, if they are sick or when they go on vacation.
3. Sponsor a homeless pet at a shelter or rescue group, this way you will contribute to its upkeep and you can visit the pet as often as you like, for short periods of time so it will not cause much discomfort.
4. If you have an enclosed patio or a screen porch, you may be able to have a pet after all.
Why NOT adopt a FERAL cat.
Feral cats enjoy the company of humans but they do not want to be handdle, they do need food and shelter and they are happiest outdoors.
If you do not have an enclosed area then perhaps you can build one.
Give it a try it is very rewarding.
