   I know lots of you have animals that you love a   
   lot, and may have room for one more.  Maybe you   
   were thinking of getting an animal companion for   
   yourself  or the animal you already have anyway.  I   
   know that if anything were to happen to me, knowing   
   that my animals were taken care of would be one of my   
   first priorities. ...Dee   
      
   This news comes from the FurAngels@yahoo.com group who   
   have been asked to help:   
      
   A women in Ct. is trying to help the animals of   
   Jackson, Mississippi.   
      
   Please read this over carefully, time is running out   
   for the displaced, lost, confused, stray and former   
   pets  who had homes and owners.   
      
   There are over 200 dogs and 150 cats so far that are   
   from Hurricane Katrina.  For the time being, they have   
   all been taken to one *temporary* shelter.  The   
   FurAngels group has been assured that, other than   
   being frightened, confused, and hungry, all of these   
   animals have been vaccinated and are in good health.   
   there are people at the shelter who are ready and   
   waiting to take these animals to ANYWHERE they need to   
   go, I repeat, they will transport them ANYWHERE.   
      
   I understand that all of us are overloaded.  I myself   
   have 5 cats and a dog in a two bedroom apartment, all   
   of which were abandoned, strays, or rescues, but these   
   animals are all homeless.  There are dogs and cats of   
   every size, shape, color, and breed now left alone   
   because their owner have been displaced or have died.   
      
   They can take care of the animals for a while longer,   
   but not for too long.  TIME IS RUNNING OUT for these   
   animals, and many will have to be EUTHANISED if they   
   do not find homes soon.   
      
   Please forward this message to whomever you can.  If   
   you can help, contact Lydia V. directly at *any time*   
      
   REMEMBER, THESE ANIMALS WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO YOU   
   (They are trying to send some photos).   
      
   Donations in any form are also desperately needed for   
   the animals - money, dog or cat food, etc.   
      
   Contact Lydia V. at 203-515-3024 (Cell)   
   Home 203-227-5308   
   email Lydia@portone.com   
      
   Also try contacting 1-800-SAVEAPET.  They're in need   
   of foster homes and people who are willing to adopt.
