This e-mail came from Alley Cat Allies. I would love to help but it's impossible since I live in Finland. Maybe you live in Lousiana?

Volunteers *STILL* Needed in Louisiana Immediately

Animals are still being rescued from homes and streets in New Orleans. Alley Cat Allies needs immediate help with animal rescue and animal care at our hurricane relief Base Camp in Bogalusa, Louisiana!

If you can join our cat rescue/recovery team immediately, please contact Pilara Felgate at pfelgate@alleycat.org . This campaign will continue for several months, so please click here to see how you can further participate.
Ongoing needs include:

· Animal handlers/trappers
· Veterinarians and Veterinary Technicians
· People skilled with computers
· Data entry and other clerical assistance with animals being admitted to the shelter
· Handy men/women
· Caregivers to feed and care for animals (mostly cats) at base camp
· Photographers
· People with disaster rescue training
· Cage assemblers and cleaners
· Supply inventory organizers who can also run errands to area stores as necessary
· Vegetarian cooks
· Humane trappers and transporters for cats, prior Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) experience a big plus
· Transporters for cats who are to be reunited with evacuated families, or those going to foster homes, shelters, and
barn homes outside the area

Alley Cat Allies cannot operate our rescue and restoration project in the Gulf States without the hard and generous work of committed volunteers. There’s nothing glamorous, fun, or easy about this work -- but you are guaranteed to go to bed at night knowing that YOU ARE MAKING A REAL DIFFERENCE IN THEIR WORLD !
