In case there are some U.S.A. readers to this forum, the following is crossposted from another site. Help is needed now for these animals. The shelters and rescues are overrun. Temporary homes are needed right now or they will have to euthanize the ones already rescued to make room for more that are coming in. Please help if you can. Every little bit counts.

PLEASE CONTACT FOR INFO

Transport Provided to Anywhere - Room Desperately Needed! (For the Animal Victims of Katrina)

There is transportation provided, with people ready and waiting, for upwards of 200 dogs and 150 cats so far rescued from the devastation of hurricane Katrina. What these animals need is a place to go. Kennels, boarding, vets offices, shelters with any extra space, foster homes and rescues. Even one or two open kennels would greatly help.

From what we know, all animals have been vaccinated and are in good health considering the conditions. There are dogs and cats of every breed and size. Some are in groups of two, three or four, hailing from the same family, while some are solitary. ANY KENNEL SPACE AVAILABLE CAN CERTAINLY BE USED. These drivers are willing to move these animals ANYWHERE they need to go. Absolutely anywhere.

The current safe houses for these animals are being inundated and some of these pets will have to be euthanized if they are not moved to make room for the incoming animals.

Please feel free to pass on this information everywhere. Every forum, every list, every community.

REMEMBER THESE ANIMALS WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO YOU.

If you know anyone, anywhere, that is willing to take in even one cat or dog, please have them contact Lynda at the information provided below.

They are also asking for ANY kind of donations for the animals - money, food, bedding, water, etc.

I would love to take some kitties into my home Very Happy

. I feel so bad for all the people who are missing their best friends, though. By shipping this pets to different places in the country how will their families ever find them?

I passed this message on to our local cat rescue groups and shelters. This is so incredibly sad. At least the human victims have fundraising concerts on TV, groups like the Red Cross, and lots and lots of help and money pouring in from all over the world. What do the animal victims have??

The sadness of this situation is overwhelming.

I e-mailed the person letting them know that I could take a dog as a foster parent untill their owners come forth or they get a new home.

I've got a pretty big back yard and an area for dog that has special needs even.

I am afraid to take any cats because of the disease issues.
