Cats and Dogs

We don't need to tell you that hundreds of thousands of displaced hurricane victims need your help. But we will make special mention of the Herculean efforts of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and the Humane Society of the United States to save the thousands of pets from the hard-hit region.

As of this writing, more than 4,000 pets have been rescued from New Orleans and treated by veterinarians. But thousands more remain.
