Jane Garrison: New Orleans urgent update 11/7
From: Jane Garrison <JaneGarrison @comcast .net> Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2005 20:46:27 -0500 To: Kinship Circle <info @kinshipcircle .org> Subject: New Orleans urgent update 11/7
11/7 Very depressing day...
Today we found 3 dead cats at 3 separate houses. These were cats who had only died in the past few days. Two of the cats were found dead on their front porches next to empty food and water bowls. The other was found dead on the back porch of a house where again, no food/water was available. Why did these animals die? Because we do not have enough people to feed them.
This is not a normal city on a normal day where animals can search through trash for scraps. This is a city where the majority of the residents have not returned so no trash is being generated. This is a city where there are no puddles for them to drink out of because it has not rained in over a month. This is a city where there are no residents who will feed them because very few people are actually living in New Orleans. This is a city in a crisis.
These animals have nothing but us to help them. I hate to say it but the animal community is failing these animals. Today we only had 24 people to put out food and water stations in a city that has thousands of animals on the streets. It is a tragedy that these animals made it through the hurricane, made it through the flood, made it through another hurricane and are dieing because they don't have enough food and water.
Please don't think that someone else will go and help... because they won't and they're not. Please get in your car, get on a plane and come to New Orleans to help put food and water out for these animals. We currently have over three thousand locations in our database where we know animals are hiding under porches and under houses. I am begging you to please help. We will provide you with the list of locations and all the dog and cat food you will need. Just come... All the instructions you need are on Animalrescueneworleans.com. PLEASE don't let anymore animals die...

11/7/05 Cats in New Orleans need you!!!
There are literally thousands of cats on the streets of New Orleans. Many of them seriously dehydrated and starving. Yes, some of these cats are feral and lived on the streets prior to the hurricane but there are numerous others who were companion animals who escaped their broken homes through opened windows and blown out doors following the storm. We are receiving dozens of requests from these animals' guardians to help them trap their traumatized cats. These animals are so afraid they are actually hiding in the damaged homes filled with mud and under trash piles. They will not even come to their guardians. Many of these houses will be bulldozed and we fear for the safety of these cats. Will you help?
We are putting together a cat trapping team to help capture these animals and reunite them with their guardians. Once that task is complete we will start trapping other cats who are living in areas that have been marked to be demolished. This is what we need:
- People who are experienced with cat trapping.
- People who are experienced with cat handling.
- People who have experience caring for cats.
Basically, we need cat people!! Please help. A few days or a week of your life can save many, many animals...please make that small sacrifice. If you are interested please contact Jim with Alley Cat Allies (we joined forces for the cat trapping) at Katrinapets@direcway.com
Thank you!
