At a cat forum I go to there are many members who had to leave their pets behind when they had to evacuate  Virtually none of the shelters would accept animals. Many of these people could only leave them there and hope for the best, and still don't know if their beloved fur-babies are ok. How horrible that must have been. |

Subject: Fw: Financial Assistance for the Ánimal Welfare League - Charlotte County Florida ----- Original Message ----- From: Janet5104@aol.com To: members@tidewaterkc.org Sent: Monday, August 16, 2004 6:51 AM Subject: (no subject) This is from the executive director of the Animal Welfare League in Charlotte County, Florida. Please crosspost! Thank you for your willingness to help. You can't image the devastation that has been done to our community. The staff and myself have been at the shelter numerous hours trying to clean up to re-open. Without power or water it is difficult to say when we will be back in full operation. Our roof is also of major concern, the areas exposed are of the front offices, puppy room and feed storage areas. The main kennel and cats areas are still usable. All our outside fenced in areas are totally destroyed except 3 small potable dog pens. We sustained much loss of office equipment. We were well prepared and had evacuated all the animals to different sights on Thursday. All important paperwork and some equipment was removed from the building. We are the County Animal Shelter and hold the county contact for all stray animals, cats being our most serious problem. Currently we need to replace our roof, but still will be able to operate, repair all our fencing and clean-up of debris and trees. Items in need; Dry Dog Food,Dry Cat Food and Canned Cat Food Blankets and Towels (we have no power to do laundry) Funds (for what insurance will not cover) 2 computer systems,fax machine local foster care All communication systems (including cellular) are out, that's why I'm contacting now from my home. You can reach me at my home e-mail, otterbound@comcast.net Suncoast Humane Society in Englewood http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/FL170.html is open and is helping to accept the strays until we are able to accept them. However, anyone showing up at our doors refusing to go there, we will accommodate the animal. Thank you for your concern, it is greatly appreciated and needed.

| Same question...I just emailed them but have not heard back yet! I am going to put a box at my vet's office...hopefully UPS will get through...on the news last night one family commented that they had gotten mail & a newspaper BUT still had no power etc. If I were closer I'd be glad to foster but I'm in Atlanta! |
