Anyone in cat rescue (501 orgs) please help
Posting for maximum coverage:
please cross post:The ASPCA animal staging area in St Bernard Parrish will not be accepting anymore animals after Oct 15. I have a friend who is down there now and feels they are doing a good job of cataloguing the animals as they come in etc. There is an urgent need however for them to find groups that can take cats out of there ..100 to be exact.The groups have to have 501c3 status and must fill out a form before they can go. They are also in dire need of animal traps as dogs are roaming the streets in packs and others are very hard to catch. The person to contact is Rick Ducharme I have three phones numbers for him (email pending)319-640-1520 904-728-3675 222-279-0825 There are 500 dogs there now and they are still coming in. They are trying to place the healthy dogs that have been there the longest with the hopes Owners will still be able to track them. They have a website showing some of the dogs(and one horse) that have been processed so farwww.loststbernardpets.com After the 15th the local animal control will take over. St Bernard Parrish has been decimated. Only 1500 homes are likely to still be habitable from what I am told. The 9th ward is a ghost town. Please cross post this to anyone that might be involved with cat rescue or all inclusive animal rescues or shelters. |

We just got an airlift of 115 animals. The suffering is unbelievable (as you can see from many of the pics on the website - a lot of the animals didn't do so well). Many of the dogs have permanently lost eyesight or have ear infections so severe they will be deaf. Emaciation is the norm. This just ****es me off to no end. -L. |

Out local Alley Cats Allies is hosting an Adopt-a-Thon/Garage Sale this Saturday to help animal victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. We have a large number of cats in town that were first evacuated from Katrina and then had to be moved from those shelters because Rita was approaching. Some are still at the shelter, and many others are in foster homes but looking for permanent homes. At one point, we had more than 300 horses at the Exposition Center, but those were family pets that were brought in with their hoomins when people evacuated (and later were picked up by their people). Much less fortunate are the ones that have no family and desperately need to be adopted. I don't know how many remain locally, but we started with several hundred. MaryL |

MaryL I know there are hundreds of unclaimed horses and thousands of cats and dogs. It's so tragic. |

Unfortunately, I suspect that the majority never will be reclaimed or adopted. (One thing I neglected to mention in my original post is that the local Alley Cats Allies is holding an Adopt-a-Thon for cats that were rescued from Katrina and Rita, have been in our shelters, and now have no homes. All have been vetted and spayed and neutered. All proceeds from the garage sale will be used to help Rita/Katrina animal victims and for spay/neuter in our community. They also have a matching donor.) MaryL |

Yeah, and I'm sorry, but I'm really ****ed we are sending Pakistan at least 50 million bucks. We just had our own natural disaster and that money would be better served staying here. Why we have to give it to an area of the world that hates our freaking guts is beyond me. I honestly don't give a rat's ass about Pakistan. Candace |

Candace But Candace, we have to play nicey-nice with Pakistan. They're one of our allies in the so-called "war on terrorism", doncha know... I just wish we'd quit funding senseless wars (declared and undeclared) for senseless reasons and keep enough money here to help ourselves in times of crisis/disaster. It's freaking ridiculous that we have to turn to private donation in times like these, just to keep our heads above water. I sure hope people don't forget this come voting time. That aside, the animals really have shouldered the brunt of this Katrina mess. It's just so unfair - they didn't ask to be dumped/left behind and so many of them are so sick now. I triaged dogs coming in for four hours and went home in tears. And this is after weeks of pallative care in makeshift shelters. And supposedly, we got "healthy" ones. I just freaking hate people sometimes. -L. |

Unfortunately, I don't think some of our decision makers have any hearts to reach. Do you have a web site where you could post some photos? They would be hard to look at -- but, again, some graphic photos might wake up a few people. MaryL |

She had seen the information previously. She said if we place some of our kitties at the Saturday adopt-a-thon (some of which had been displaced by Hurricane Rita), she plans to contact them and offer to help. So, give us good wishes for the garage sale (fund-raiser) and adopt-a-thon -- both to help the cats we already have and to provide room so we can bring in some other displaced kitties. MaryL |

MaryL I hope that works. They are shutting down operations. The temp shelters are having to shut down and I think they are just trying to get places for pets. ACA is trapping. I know they are doing a lot of work down there. |
