Kristin Archer approached us a few months ago after she had returned from volunteering for ARNO (Animal Rescue of New Orleans). Life is still extremely grim for animals there and Kristin asked ARNO what she could do to help them after she returned to Seattle. They responded ‘help us get some of these poor cats out of our shelter- noone is adopting down here’. When she came back to Seattle she contacted Homeward to see if we could help and we agreed to take a few cats. Just by coincidence they were scheduled to come here today, August 30th, the same day that New Orleans had begun evacuating once again for Hurricane Gustav. The cats arrived safely, a little jet-lagged and scared but all in all, they are doing great. We have three sisters, 10 months old and sadly they have lived in a shelter their entire lives. They are long overdue to have a real life! We also rescued a beautiful Himalayan mix female that is totally relaxed, like she flies across the country every day! If all goes well, they should all be available for adoption next week!
