Evacsak

Just to let you know that Global Animal Welfare Solutions can now supply animal rescuers in Malaysia and beyond with the Evacsak.

Evacsak has been around in one form or another since 1992 when Rebecca Rodriguez an animal rescuer first designed the prototype to address the problem of how to evacuate lots of cats from an animal shelter in an emergency. Large pet carriers big enough to cope with lots of cats were unwieldy and to use individual pet carriers was impracticable. Storage of enough pet carriers or cages was problematic and all in all she was faced with a dilemma.

Animal rescue organisations have been using pillow case type bags for some time (I regularly used a pillow case to transport snakes and reptiles when I was an RSPCA Inspector) but no one had actually come up with a robust enough design that could be used for cats and small dogs.

Evacksak is the result of extensive testing in the field and has been used in real emergencies like Hurricane Katrina in the US. It is in daily use with many of the major animal welfare charities.

If you are an animal rescuer it is an ideal piece of equipment to keep in your car . You can't always carry a cat carrier or cage in your car but you could carry an evacsak or two. Folded in its carrying pouch it is about the size of a sheet of A4 paper (obviously a few cm's thicker) and can easily be stuffed under the seat or in the boot. You never know when you might see a stray cat, kitten or puppy by the roadside and with the evacsak and a towel you are always able to transport the animal safely and without worrying about it escaping. The larger size will accommodate a small terrier and the evacksak is washable so can easily disinfected.

If you live in an apartment or condo and have a number of cats the Evacsak is ideal to keep for emergencies in case you need to evacuate in a hurry. You wouldn't be able to easily store or carry 3 pet carriers down the stairs but with the Evacsak you can safely and securely transport your pets on your back.

More pictures of the Evacsak in use to follow but if any of you know Poodley who belongs to Nicole at the SPCA Selangor she has already examined the product and found it very comfortable.





















It comes in two sizes, the smaller is 21 x 21 (approx 55cm x 55cm) whilst the larger one is 27 x 27 (approx 70cm x 70cm).

There is an introductory price of 82RM (Smaller version) and 88 RM (Larger version). This is the discounted animal rescuer price. (Postage not included)
