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.

LUCYDESCRIPTION: Lucy and Stryder are originally from New Orleans. Their mom evacuated before Katrina. They were put in foster care, after the hurricane, in Sulphur, LA, but they were forced to evacuate THAT home for Hurricane Rita. They were transported to Natchitoches, LA with their foster family, where the house they were staying in was damaged. The cats escaped and have not been seen since. Prior to this, the cats had never been outside. CONTACT INFO: |
