Thanks, Julie...I wish I could do more...I just checked out the Houston SPCA's and Humane Society's websites...the SPCA is offering to take in any pets of refugees staying in Houston and the Humane Society is offering a free clinic through the holiday weekend where staff will volunteer their time to give cajun-refugee pets free medical care and vaccinations...these are wonderful organizations, if anyone wishes to donate, please visit their websites at http://www.spcahouston.org/ and http://www.houstonhumane.org/ !!!
