Help for animals affected by Hurricane Katrina

The destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina is devastating. Watching the TV reports of families who have lost everything is very disturbing and heartbreaking. We hope that all Americans can donate to hurricane relief efforts.

In a disaster situation such as this, when so much focus is on the human loss and suffering, it is easy to overlook the animal victims. Many pets have become lost or separated from their families during the storms, some are injured and need medical help. In many instances, families will not have a home to return to, and will surrender their pets to animal shelters and rescues.

Please consider making a donation of supplies to Animal Shelters and Animal Rescues who are located in the areas affected by Hurrican Katrina.

For animal victims of Hurricane Katrina,
www.i-pets.com will ship for free any order placed for hurricane relief for animals, a pet rescue or animal welfare organization. We will do this regardless of the size or weight of the order.

We'll list some of these rescues and shelters here, as we find them. i-pets.com/blog readers can add more by using our "comments" feature, or by email.
