If any of our friends have Zootoo accounts we would like to ask you to support Waveland Animal Shelter, for the Shelter Makeover (we are trying to get as many points as we can for the shelter). This is the shelter Fenris was adopted from. Mommy was very impressed by them. Waveland & Bay St. Louis, Mississippi were very hard hit by Katrina. The shelter workers have their office in a trailer and the animals are housed in a shed. Everything is nice, neat and clean and the animals are very well cared for. Mommy said everyone who worked there was very friendly and seemed to care about the animals, so we want to help them as much as we can. They serve both Waveland & Bay St. Louis.
What some of you may not know is a lot of pets were left behind in peoples homes when they evacuated for Katrina. When their homes were destroyed the pets who survived fled into the woods. When their owners returned, they were unable to stay for long because all that was left was a slab (no utilities available) and many were unable to find their pets in the little time they had to look for them. Many of these pets were very stressed and wary of coming near people, and for whatever reason some of these pets were not spayed or neutered. Often by the time these pets were reunited with their owners they had already had a couple of litters. Thus there is still a high number of abandoned cats and dogs in this area. Triple R Pets has a very good summary of what happened to pets due to Katrina and their efforts to help, if you are interested.
Thanks for helping us help. ~Socks, Scylla, Charybdis & Fenris

We saw Caesar Romero talk about the poor animals that were left behind from Katrina. He was working with several of the rescues.
It was very sad. Scylla, Charybdis & Fenris are probably results of Katrina as they were all from that area. ~S,S,C & F
Oh, we didn't realize SS&C were from Katrina. There are so many sad stories from that storm!
We hope the shelter is able to get a makeover. We never heard of Zootoo.
