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

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

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.

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.

Please contact at any time, day or night. These volunteers, rescuers and shelter workers are working around the clock.

Hey there -- do you have an original source for this post? Because earlier today I emailed the address listed, to get more info (didn't get a response), and now it suddenly occurs to me that this would be a perfectly horrible prank to play on someone: get their voice and email inboxes swamped with messages from every animal lover in the country, 24-7, for days. It just makes me a little suspicious that no organization or location is listed, and the only contact info is someone's personal info.

I'm expecting a ferret shortly, so it's not a prank. :)
