Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / September 2005It was horrible.
I just got housing after the flood and access to the internet. I lost my cat of 14 years. I had to leave her behind.. cats hate water. Now, I am not allowed back in to save her. *sighs* I guess it was meant to be. A boat pulled up to me as I tried to walk out of the filth and took me to a highway ramp. I asked if they would take me to my home so I could get Thumper, but they said no. I just cried. I am still crying. The thoughts that my Thumper is still in my house are killing my heart daily. Its been 5 days. > I just got housing after the flood and access to the internet. > I lost my cat of 14 years. I had to leave her behind.. cats [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > I just cried.

I am at a couple home in central florida that drove up to LA and they saw me and offered a much more comfortable environment. My heart breaks for the animals and the people that are still there. I was in my home about 2 miles from the ramp I was dropped off at near 10. >> I just got housing after the flood and access to the internet. >> I lost my cat of 14 years.

Please contact Noah's Wish and request their help in locating and evacuating your cat. http://www.noahswish.com/Noah's%20Wish%20Services.htm Noah's Wish is run by Terri Crisp, who wrote Out Of Harm's Way, the story of how emergency animal rescue services began. It is well worth reading: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0671522787/qid=1106365781/sr=1-1/r ef=sr_1_1/002-4314236-5302404?v=glance&s=books The following article includes links to some other animal welfare organizations that are trying to save the lives of pets left behind during Hurricane Katrina: http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2005-09-03-katrinapetrescues_x.htm MaryL Thank you Mary!!

I am looking to donate to one of these organizations. Is bestfriends.org reputable, do you know?

I have read very good things and also a few negatives, but I don't have any reliable information. I think both Noah's Wish (http://noahswish.org/and) Alley Cat Allies (http://www.alleycat.org/katrina.html) are excellent sources for donations. I have worked with Alley Cat Allies locally. In addition, they have volunteerrs who are local to NO who are working on the situation, so they are likely to have a better "feel" for areas to check. MaryL > I'm not sure about bestfriends.

There have been cats mistakenly shipped in dresser drawers or boxes who went a week without food and still recovered. I hope you find her. >> > The following article includes links to some other animal welfare >> > organizations that are trying to save the lives of pets left behind [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > There have been cats mistakenly shipped in dresser drawers or boxes > who went a week without food and still recovered.
