Welcome!
These are only some of the pets that became separated from their owners after Hurricane Katrina or Rita. Some were definitely rescued and either adopted out or "lost in the system,"some escaped and are believed to be roaming in their neighborhood, and others fate is uncertain.
If you believe that the pet you adopted or rescued might be a Katrina pet whose owner is missing it, please look through these images, and the images at various sites at the "More Pets" link above. There was much confusion in Katrina/Rita's aftermath and not all pets identified as as "owner surrender" when they were adopted out actually were. Some animals classified as "stray" were actually owned and had become separated from their guardian.

BABOOSHKA Babooshka has a white isoceles triangle on the left side (her right) of her nose. Before the hurricane she was plump, and she's a grey, black and white tabby. She has white feet, belly and chest. She wasn't wearing a collar. A neighbor was watching her for me when Katrina hit and let her out of my apartment when my roof failed and water started to enter. So, I don't know where she is or if she was picked up by the rescue workers. I lived on Laurel Street, in Uptown, in between Soniat and Duffosat. Babo's very sweet and affectionate, and I really miss her. If you have any information about my cat, please contact me at khildens@yahoo.com or call my cell phone at 504-481-8232. |
