Along came Hurriane Rita's disruption of lives, property and this weblog! Valiant and creative recovery efforts and stories will continue within the "Recovery" category. However, with Hurricane season fast approaching, the major focus turns to support of the Louisiana REALTORS goal of superior READINESS!

Freeway is a bow-legged, mixed breed CairnTerrier in need of a home. He was in a shelter in New Orleans with 20 cats, 1 ferret, a rabbit and a mouse(!). While his New Orleans shelter is probably history, the effort to find him a permanent home goes on! Freeway is cat, ferrett, and mouse tolerant, but prefers adults over children!

 

Photos of the cats, etc. will be posted when they are available.  All have been spayed, neutered, checked for disease and are  FREE to good homes. To inquire about Freeway or the others, call Darlene, the shelter owner, at 337-439-1079.  A temporary e-mail address has been set up for her at Darlene@mkh.com.

Freeway, AKA "Mr Personality" is still available. He has generated a lot of interest, but needs to go to an "adult" only home.

Our own "New Orleans Evacuee"!

Posted by Anonymous at 9:17 AM, Sep. 9, 2005

Being animal lovers, my children were very concerned about the pets of the evacuees in New Orleans and all the animals at the zoo. After hearing about the cats from the New Orleans shelter, I talked to my boys and decided we would give one a home in LeBleu Settlement. Not realizing how hard it would be to choose just one of these great cats, I decided to drop by and pick one on my own. I stayed for over an hour trying to decide between these beautiful cats each with their own personalities. I finally decided on a very beautiful black cat with extraordinary green eyes named Sammy. Sammy is about 16 pounds and very unique. Upon arrriving at my very lively home, he was a little leary of my two boys (10 and 3) and my crying infant (4 months). He hid under our sofa until the house was quiet. That only lasted for 2 days. Now he follows the boys around crying at their bedroom doors if they are shut. If he is not getting enough attention from one of them, he stands on his hind legs and rubs his paws on them until they stop what they are doing and love on him. My 10 year old says that all of the kids at school think that it is "SO COOL" that he has a cat saved from the Hurricane in New Orleans. My husband, not a cat lover usually, thinks Sammy is so "cool". The cat follows him into his office and sits in a chair next to him while he is on the computer after the boys are in bed. He has even told his buddies from his online game all about "his" new cat. My dogs like Sammy also. He and my cocker have become fast buddies. Sammy has even earned the respect of my 9 year old Lab (not easily done). All in all, bringing Sammy home has because a wonderful experience.
