While much of the world is on lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, about 50 cats are roaming around one rooftop in the Moroccan capital of Rabat.
Big cats, little cats. Cats with one eye. Cats with three legs. In this one makeshift shelter, it's both young and old, sick and strong — all together.
"I've been surrounded by animals from the moment I could open my eyes," says Ahmed Tazi. He runs the shelter with his family, who own the adjacent apartment.
Sixteen years ago, Tazi and his sister Habiba founded a nonprofit called L'Association de Défense des Animaux et de la Nature — The Association for the Defense of Animals and Nature, in English — or ADAN. For those in Rabat wondering "who you gonna call" when you find a stray — the answer is the Tazi family.
Ahmed says he's woken up by a phone call at around 7 a.m. most mornings. Someone has seen an injured dog on the side of the road. A box of abandoned kittens has been left at a neighbor's doorstep. A family is thinking about adopting a new pet and wants some advice.
The Coronavirus crisis has sent these calls into overload. In recent months, the pound has sent ADAN hundreds more strays, which they try to manage in their already overrun shelters. Unproven rumors about pets transmitting Covid-19 to humans has also led to an uptick in families abandoning their pets. The rate of new adoptions, meanwhile, has plummeted in Rabat.
"The number of dogs and cats being brought to us has tripled since the start of the crisis," Tazi says.
Even before the pandemic, it was still relatively uncommon in Morocco to keep household pets.
