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.

ESMERELDA Esmerelda is a large female domestic shorthair tabby and white cat.
She is brown tiger-striped with white on her chest, stomach, and front paws.
She weighed about 18 pounds prior to Katrina. She is from 3609 Mumphrey Road
in Chalmette, Louisiana (St. Bernard Parish). Her owner has been back to her
house and could not find Esmerelda. It's not clear whether she was rescued. Email: RobynNolting@aol.com |
