Pet Rescue in Louisiana

From the comments to the previous post:

"I hope this is okay to post here. I saw that you had posted eariler with info for Noah's Wish; I'd have posted in that thread but this one seems more active. I thought you might like to know that people who evacuated but whose pets got left behind can call the LA SPCA and they may be able to save them. -Elizabeth

I don't know that anybody reading this is in a position to need the information, but you never know.

It's also very slightly comforting.

Just to keep the tone consistent with the rest of reportage.

And they did successfully evacuate the critters from the NO zoo, that's a bright spot.
