It is 1:30 A.M. EST on the eastern side of the gulf, thirty minutes after midnight in New Orleans. Here is the latest item to cross my desk from Kat5 rescue. Drivers and other volunteers are needed on the scene in New Orleans. Also, if you can get to the shore of Mississippi please also respond. I personally know folks that are trying to evacuate, but may have difficulty getting their pets and foster pets out with them. Stay tuned for further updates. Help if you can. Spread the word.

As predictions stand now Hurricane Gustav is due to hit the area of New Orleans late Monday. The track changes frequently so plans will change accordingly.
Volunteers are needed for immediate dispatch to New Orleans in Jefferson Parish to aid with pet evacuations and man checkpoints. Please plan to be self sufficient. Some cots are available but others will need to stay in their cars overnight. Help is needed all day Saturday and you will likely be moving out on Sunday as the storm approaches.
Help will be needed again after the storm.
Updates will be sent out. Please email if you are available to help in
NOLA (New Orleans) after Tuesaday of next week. (This day could change).
If you can get to NOLA by tomorrow morning please contact KAT 5:
972-898-3300
kat5animalrescue@yahoo.comPlaces are also needed to evacuate to for about 200 dogs and cats from Jefferson Parish. This number changes by the hour. Please send out to all rescues. Muttshack is providing transport. Please contact KAT 5 if you are a rescue able to take in animals evacuated.

Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.
