I have a number of friends in New Orleans who haven’t been able to get to their pets. Many were out of town when Katrina hit and are just now trying to figure out what’s going on. A looter actually broke into one friend’s house, saw her cats, and gave them water and food to last a week! He called her to inform her that her cats are ok and that he left food and water. Can you believe that? But in any case, what resources are there available to help her and others retrieve their pets? They have ordered the forced evacuation of the entire city so a number of my friends there are seriously considering defying the edict to rescue their pets. Any advice you have that I could pass on on which organizations to contact would be greatly appreciated.
