Default Fire purrs

We need to purr for all the cats and d*gs (and other animals) who might be
lost or injured in the forest fires in BC. Some of you might have heard the
city of Kelowna, B.C. (where I was born, actually) is being threatened and
burned by forest fire. Over the past day and night, approximately, 200-300
homes have been destroyed there. And there are fires all over the place in
that area of BC, threatening many towns. If you guys could send out some
purrs for the animals not to be too spooked to run away from their slaves,
and stay with them and be evacuated from the fire, I'm sure they would be
appreciative. In watching the news, I've heard of quite a few cats who have
been spooked and have escaped and ran off.

To animals in the interior, our fur-pocket cats are sending you many purrs
to not-spook and evacuate safely.

Jen.

Yes, I just read about this in the news. We are purring and praying that
people and animals in the area do not become victims. And we pray for the
souls of any that do.

Here is a link to the SPCA in the area who are one of the shelters dealing
with the big animal shelter crisis there
http://www.spca.bc.ca/media/KelownaF...2003_Press.htm

There is an appeal to Vancouver residents to help house the animals, because
they're trying to transfer the animals there.

Fire is a very scary thing, purrs going out to all the living things being
threatened.

Here is word from KLC Krista, who is located in Kelowna (this message not
sent to me directly, but I'm posting this for another friend!) She wanted to
send a message to you guys, which is pasted below:

==== routed message ====

Thank you so much for remembering!
I've had such a year and lost touch with RPCA but not forgotten you
wonderful cats'n'folks.

We, personally, are on evacuation alert.
The Kelowna SPCA was evacuated yesterday (Friday Aug 22),
initially to a local recreation centre, and now animals have been
fostered out into homes all over the place north of us, out of harms
way. Trailers & trailers of horses have been taken to safety out of
rural areas. The cats were the biggest challenge, though! It sounds
as if at least 400 had to be fostered - quite a feat.

Because we are on evacuation alert & could get the order to GO at
any time, we can't foster any animals ourselves. If the order comes,
we will be packing four cats (Polaris, Twinkle-Afar, Jubilee, and
Harley Davidson) and one bearded dragon (Mnemie) into our car
and heading out of town.

It's scary, but so far no loss of life; no major injuries.
Last night we could see flames shooting hundreds of feet into the
sky, among black clouds, along the ridge. It looked ready to boil
down on us. Today the sky is blue for the first time in three days.

You could paste this note to RPCA for me, if you have a chance? I
really shouldn't be on the computer too much.

My RPCA t-shirts are already packed as essential in case of
evacuation ^..^

Latest figures I've seen say 30,000 have already been evacuated and another
8000 people are on a one hour notice in this city of about 100,000. This is
one big fire and without rain and a severe reduction in winds this could get
a lot worse.
