Shelter looking for homes for Hurricane Katrina pet refugees
A central Pennsylvania animal shelter is looking for new homes for above a dozen pets that had previously been displaced nearly 5 years ago by Hurricane Katrina.
The dogs and cats were initially part of a pack of 100 pet refugees rescued by the lady in Texas in the hurricane’s aftermath.
In accordance with the Center County PAWS shelter, the unidentified woman had found new homes for some pets before she moved to Pennsylvania in 2006 and took 75 pets along with her.
The lady found new owners for more pets, but a recent crisis enforced her to give up caring for the residual animals.
The shelter said previous month it initially took in almost 2 dozen Katrina pet refugees. Its Web site Thursday showed 11 cats and 3 dogs pending adoption.
