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.

FRITZFritz is a neutered male cat, 11 years young. He is buff/orange in color with no visible stripes, with medium to long fur. He has a small "v" notch in one ea . His eyes are the green of a "lima bean". He was last seen in the house at 9023 Amour Drive, Chalmette, LA. Fritz, who hates cars, ran and hid when the family evacuated the house when the area was flooded and despite their best efforts to catch him. He survived Katrina and flooding thanks to food and water left for him in the upper level, but he escaped, after the water receded, through a door that had been battered open by the storm. The family have been desperately seeking for him. Fritz' adopted "son," a Min Pin, waits at the door for Fritz every night and cries and whines when the family does not let Fritz in for the night . The owner is Ron Lawrence and can be reached any time at 1-888-954-2300 or emailed at lawrence266@hotmail.com |
