HELP HURRICANE ANIMAL VICTIMS SURVIVE IN THE NEW YEAR.
Clifton, Samantha and their son Justin hadn’t seen Reagan since they fled their home to ride out Katrina at Loyola University. Four days after the storm, the Lores made the first of several trips to New Orleans in search of Reagan and two other cats. They departed with empty carriers each time.

Fortunately, food, water, and determination led to Reagan’s reunion with her humans. An ARNO volunteer feeder identified Reagan, tracked down the Lores, and alerted an ARNO trapping team. By December’s end, Samantha’s mother Rebecca Dickerson greeted the wide-eyed kitty at Celebration Station. This time, a full carrier left in loving hands for the drive to Baton Rouge—where the Lores anxiously awaited Regan’s homecoming.

ARNO’s Food/Water Program is vital for thousands of animals left to struggle in an unstable environment. BUT THERE IS NO FOOD/WATER PROGRAM WITHOUT...FOOD!

For 4 consecutive days, there was NO FOOD for volunteers to drop. Animals rely upon these food stations. Resident feeders—some of whom lost homes, cars, and jobs to the hurricanes—borrow vehicles just to go out and feed animals. But most cannot afford to buy enough food to cover their sections.

Your food donation gives each animal a chance. Just like Reagan.

1/4/05: ARNO ALSO NEEDS VOLUNTEER FEEDERS!
For the next 6 to 8 weeks, at least 50 teams of two volunteers each are needed to distribute food/water in NOLA alone.

ARNO’s food/water volunteers not only help sustain life—but also participate in reunions by sighting specific animals. We rely upon these sightings to track and humanely trap animals, some of whom may be injured or living in areas slated for demolition.

RESIDENT FEEDERS:
Louisiana residents are urgently needed to commit to regular food/water drops in assigned sections of the city.
