Multiple animal shelters across North America are facing imminent closures due to financial strains and volunteer shortages. Orillia's Comfie Cat Shelter is halting new surrenders as it struggles with a decline in volunteers linked to post-pandemic activities; the manager warns it could shut down in 60 days without immediate support. Similarly, the Souris Valley Animal Shelter in Minot has paused intakes while seeking $50,000 urgently to maintain operations, attributing their crisis to high overhead costs and a lack of donations. In Scottsdale, Desert Tails Shelter has suspended intakes after severe storm damage and requires $7,000 monthly to stay afloat, fearing closure by year-end. Lastly, in Noida, Smart Sanctuary is at risk of eviction due to a 25% rent increase, potentially displacing 1,600 rescued animals. These shelters are reaching out for community support to prevent devastating losses for both the facilities and the animals they serve.
