A COVID-19 Pet Hotline for New York City residents is an information,
planning, referral, and service coordination hub for people who
need support for their pets during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Call Pet Hotline
operators at (877) 204-8821 from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily.
The
Pet Hotline and supportive services are provided by the City’s
Animal Planning Task Force, which is coordinated by NYC Emergency
Management.
The Task Force is a collaboration between City agencies and
nonprofits, including the Humane Society of the United States, the
ASPCA, Animal Haven, Animal Care Centers of NYC, Bideawee, American Red
Cross, Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals, NYC VERT, New York State
Animal Protection Federation, Best Friends Animal Society, and PAWS NY.
The Pet Hotline
will address people’s questions and concerns about keeping their
pets during the COVID-19 crisis. It'll also connect callers to pet
relief resources, such as subsidized emergency veterinary care and food
and supply distribution services.
For pets that require a
higher level of care, cases will be escalated for coordination of
temporary placement or supplemental care of animals.
