There is now an animal shelter operating within the city. We are accepting donations and volunteers. If you find an injured or homeless animal, you can bring it here.

Thank you.

[Attached is a picture of the shelter with the sign just out of frame. There are dogs, cats, rats, and some native species. Hector's also listed the address of the building, but not the name. Because it's awful. Blame Everett.]

Hello. I'm not able to help at the moment, maybe once things have settled...Do you have any advice on telling injured animals apart from people who can turn into animals though?

[Looking after something small and fuzzy was bad after she'd eaten a rabbit. But also, she's picked up three shapeshifters now.]

That’s wonderful, Mr. Hector!

The animals are so cute in the picture. And you even have a sign! To let people passing by know the shelter is there, right? You didn’t get it in the frame. But it’s still a good picture!

[Not that she’s sure that it’s for the shelter, since she can only see the very bottom of it, nearly completely cut off.]

...I'll volunteer. I wouldn't try and force any to stay if they don't want to, though.

[Oh! Finally, some good news...]

That's great to hear, Hector. Is there anything in particular you need right now, or is this a general call-for-all?

What sort of animals do you have there now and how many? I'd like to make treats for your shelter residents and bring them over. I can't guarantee they'll happen all the time though.

will you be serving non-mammal species at your shelter?

[what priorities]

[petcromancer]

Umm, try observing their behaviors for a few minutes before you go to grab them?

[This is not a problem Hector's had yet, at least that he knows of.]

I would think a shapeshifter would move differently than a real animal. But in either case, if you find something hurt, it's best to try to help it, right?

[petcromancer]

if you can't catch them, let me know where they are and when they tend to be active. i can come try to round them up. most animals are less wary of fauns than they are of other people.

[petcromancer]

The sign's not important. I'm using this to let people know where to come.

But yes, the animals are very cute. You are welcome to come visit them. Many of them like to play.

[petcromancer]

great. don't worry, it's a shelter, not a prison. if something doesn't want to be here, I'll let it free.

[Well, if an animal is brought in injured, he'll insist on keeping it long enough to treat it, but surely nobody will protest against that.]

[petcromancer]

I know. I didn't believe it would work out, but it did.

Right now, I could use a few volunteers to help walk dogs and play with cats to keep them entertained. Would you be interested?

[sealeted]

I would! Sachertorte likes to have company when I take her out.

[petcromancer]

Right now, I've got a handful of dogs and about a dozen cats...a few rats, a dingbat, and there's a couple of petalwolves that live behind the building. We have room to house more animals, and people may drop off new animals or adopt the ones here at any time.

[So the number likely won't stay static. Sorry, he knows it makes planning a pain.]

[petcromancer]

yes, I'll take in anything that needs shelter. most of my experience is with mammalian and avian creatures, but I can expand my horizons.

[needsteaplz]

That is quite the menagerie you got started with! I do wish you good luck with running the shelter. I'll see what my housemates and I can make today.

Rats, though?

[Please forgive him; his homeworld is more or less medieval and he has never known the joy of cuddling a rat on his shoulder and having it stick its nose into his ear.]

[foundfamilies]

Wouldn’t it be easier to find if people knew what the sign looked like?

I do want to visit! Though I can’t promise how often I will be able to come. I have been having trouble making enough time for everything. I’m sorry.

[synchroswim]

youd think they would be less wary with me cause like
dont cats like to eat fish and stuff?
i know eels arent traditional but still
but uhhh gimme a few to get the address again cause i can never spell this dumb street name

[thirdbeauty]

Oh, how cute!

Are some of the smaller ones babies?

[stopfen]

The first time they didn't give any indication...I only know now because of their scent. [As in she'd see them after she'd snuggled their animal form for most of the night. He got a tired sigh over the watch.]

It is...But this person acted like a normal animal and clung to me.

[Sorry, Hector, that just WON'T DO.]

I'll send you a picture, dear Leslie. It has a cute name!

[The photo he sends has Hector looking grouchy beneath the "Paws for a Cause" sign. It is in a tasteful font over the door. Everett cannot be trusted to arrange such things]

[petcromancer]

Well, then they must not have minded too much, otherwise they would've done something to let you know.

[petcromancer]

i mean, if a giant version of your dinner chased you around, would you stick around to see it?

and sure, there's no need to rush.

[petcromancer]

Don't worry. The animals will be here when you have time.
