Noah's Wish Katrina Update page
Noah's Wish is a nonprofit that exists to keep animals alive during a
disaster. They have a Katrina update page with shelter updates and
shelter info, and have set up a temporary shelter in Slidell, LA:
Noah's Wish, a not-for-profit organization that work exclusively to
rescue and shelter animals in disasters is rescuing animals from
evacuated homes in Slidell, Louisiana. The pets are being housed at a
temporary animal shelter and Noah's Wish is working with Slidell
Animal Control to coordinate the rescue of hundreds of abandoned and
stranded pets in the city of Slidell. The Animal Control building
sustained extensive damage during Hurricane Katrina. Noah's Wish staff
and volunteers on the ground do not have phone, cell phone or web
access at this time and are unable to communicate outside the Slidell
area. Noah's Wish is asking that pet owners from Slidell not call or
send email, as communication is limited. PET OWNERS WHO LIVE IN
SLIDELL NEED TO COME TO HERITAGE PARK TO REPORT A LOST OR STRANDED
PET. Noah's Wish staff will be at Heritage Park from 8am to 7pm every
day for at least the next 3 weeks. Pet owners must come in person to
determine if their pet is at the shelter, as the number of pets being
rescued is expected to reach the hundreds. (from the news release).
