Several Gulf Coast cats found new homes over the weekend. Jumper, Bruce, Fluffy, Lenny, Isak, and Gumbo were all adopted out of Mountain View Animal Hospital in Sandy.
Lenny and Isak ended up going to the same home, even though Lenny developed a bit of an attitude problem while their new family was filling out the adoption paperwork... "I'm not worried. He''ll settle in," said his new dad, understandingly.
There are still 24 cats waiting for families, including Ebony (pictured above), who has the most stunning green eyes we've ever seen.
Another special boy is Benny Hill (orange and white, pictured here), a very sweet, passive 8 year old with few teeth and no front claws. There is also Daisy (pictured below), a charming, high-spirited, beautiful girl. You can see more pictures of them, and the others, in our photo gallery. If you can, please take a moment to let your friends know about these loving cats who just need a second chance.
Hello,
I'm writing because I'm wondering if you received Katrina rescues who are not listed on your web site? I have been trying for several weeks now to help a few folks find their animals, and we are at our wit's end. The animals aren't to be found online anywhere!
May I describe to you briefly who I am looking for, to see if these dogs ring any bells?
I am looking first for a nine-year-old yellow female lab. She would be distinctive because she has two fatty tissue cysts -- one on her left side and one on her belly. I have a old picture of this dog, for futher comparison if it's necessary.
I am also looking for a very small -- 10 pound -- male Boston Terrier with only one white paw, on his right front foot. He has near perfect Boston markings, other than that. I have a puppy picture of this dog, if it would be helpful.
I am also helping two other Boston Terrier owners look for their dogs, but I don't have good descriptions because neither of these ladies have electricity, computers or phones -- it sounds like they are going from family member to family member's houses. I am communicating with them through VERY sporadic e-mail and the U.S. Postal Service via relatives' addresses. I believe both Bostons are male and are purebred. One was lost in New Orleans, the other lost in St. Augustine, TX around the time of Rita.
If you have any insight on these four animals, or you think you might have had one come through your shelter, would you let me know?
Many thanks,
Joy Mullholand Leong

I'm looking for my black cat named Midnight. He has big eyes like the one you have featured called Ebony. Where did this cat come from? My cat was in the attic or in the area of 811 Filmore Avenue in New Orleans. I am just trying to follow some leads. Thanks so much. could you contact me at heidicat@bellsouth.net in case I don't see the message?

I would like to know which Katrina cats have been adopted. The website has not been updated recently to post the cats that have found homes. Could you do that?

Hi,
My name is Sheryl Carter and I am a Hurricane Katrina evacuue from New Orleans. My mother Ruby Williams is also an evacuee and she's looking to reunite with her 9 year old female mixed-breed golden labrador retriever named Sandy. She was rescued from her home at 6841 Norwood Court in New Orleans. We would appreciate any information you could give in helping us to find her.
Sincerely,
Sheryl Carter
Jackson, Ms.
