I just need to post one more thing (I hope), as there is now a more reliable way to get to your pets. Please pass this info. on to anyone you know of who may need it. I am copying the info.directly.
"The ASPCA command center is located at the corner of Houston Street and West Street at Pier 40. It is equipped with a mobile veterinary medical unit, emergency medical supplies, pet carriers, pet food, and a psychologist trained to help distressed pet owners. The purpose of the command center is to assist pet owners with stranded pets and provide medical care to animals. The ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement Division has coordinated their effort with the New York City Parks Department to gain access to buildings during daylight hours.
The ASPCA has also set up a hotline (212-876-7700 ext. 4PET) for pet owners to call and report pets that are stranded in homes. The hotline is staffed by counselors who are providing guidance and support to distressed owners. In addition, The ASPCA is compiling a database of information pertaining to the location of stranded pets. The database will be used to contact owners once The ASPCA receives clearance to enter the area where their pets are located."
