7.) KINSHIP CIRCLE/ARF GRASSROOTS EFFORT
FOR ANIMALS OF THE STORM

In early September Kinship Circle, a 501c3 animal advocacy organization, and Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) a nonprofit no-kill shelter in Mobile, Alabama, initiated a grassroots effort for the animal victims of Hurricane Katrina. We mobilize veterinarians, vet techs, rescue groups, transport services, trained animal disaster relief workers, and concerned individuals to staging areas and stricken communities throughout Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.

ARF and Kinship Circle also manage a centralized drop/distribution site for supplies. Items such as food, cages/crates, veterinary medicines, equipment, and much more are delivered and circulated to storm areas in need.

The Kinship Circle/ARF effort scouts and reports volunteer opportunities in overlooked communities. In addition, we send volunteers and supplies to areas where organized animal rescue has already been established.

Caring about animals caught in Katrina's wrath does not diminish human suffering. It makes us human. --Kinship Circle
