Ithaca … Pets made homeless by Hurricane Katrina will soon be arriving at the Tompkins County SPCA. Animals are being brought from a temporary shelter set up in Belle Chasse, Louisiana that is now being closed. We are coordinating our efforts with Dr. Bridget Barry of Meadowridge Veterinary Clinic, who has been assisting with animal rescue efforts in the Gulf area. We have also made space available for animals rescued by North Shore Animal League and Dogs Deserve Better to provide refuge for additional animals.
If you would like to give a gift to help with the costs of transport, medicine, food and shelter for these animals, please send a check to Tompkins County SPCA, attn: Katrina Pets, 1640 Hanshaw Road, Ithaca, NY 14850. Or to give securely online with a credit card, go to our website www.SPCAonline.com and type “Katrina Pets” as the message.
