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.

TURTLETurtle is an 8-year old spayed tortoiseshell cat who weighed 7-8 pounds before Hurricane Katrina. She has a black and orange/tan coat with white markings, which consist of white toes on her front feet, white socks on the back feet, and a white tuxedo. She has a light orange/tan half-moustache on the right side of her face and a light tan chin. Turtle went missing from Banks Street in the Mid-City area of New Orleans, after escaping from the house after the storm. Contact: |
