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.

MIDNIGHT

DESCRIPTION:

(Photo left is a cat that resembles Midnight, but is not Midnight)

Midnight is a black male domestic shorthair cat who is around 5 years old. He has huge, green owl-like eyes and loves to roll over on his back to get this tummy rubbed. He has a couple of white hairs on his neck and belly. They are not very noticeable,though. He has solid black, glossy, sleek fur, maybe one or two strands of white fur on chest or belly but no patches. He is altered and has his claws. His eyes are very large. He has short fur with a tail that is normal and not bushy at all. He was last seen in the attic of his house at 811 Filmore, NOLA 70124, in the Lakeview area. His owner says he is gentle, sweet, and well-loved. She is desperate to get him back.
