Some of you have inquired about the involvement of the media and PSPCA... Please read and circulate the following City Kitties notice... to your neighbors, friends, co-workers. Print out and post at your job! -LLSAVE WINDERMERE FIRE CATS (4800 Walnut Street)Date: 2011-02-09, 6:21PM EST Reply to: [email protected] [Errors when replying to ads?] One month after the fire, cats are STILL ALIVE inside the Windermere Court Apartments! Don't believe it? Read this, or just look below at the faces of cats who were rescued from the building within the last week. PostingID: 2206130773Animal rescue efforts ended the day after the fire. Despite obvious signs of life inside, no one took action--not the owners, not L&I, not the fire marshal, not the insurance investigators who all had access to the building. Just two days after this disaster, emergency personnel said there was nothing more they could do, no possibility that cats could have survived, and refused to set humane traps inside. Now the Windermere owners claim that the buildings' exterior doors are sealed and that L&I won't allow anyone inside ever again--and yet a maintenance man, security guards, and insurance company investigators have accessed the building as recently as today, Wednesday February 9th. Meanwhile, the owners are moving forward with demolition, knowing full well that there are still pets inside! If you think this is wrong, if you care about the cats inside and the people who want so desperately to get them back, if you want to let the City of Philadelphia know that it should never happen again... Join former Windermere tenants, neighborhood residents, and animal welfare advocates for a peaceful rally and protest: Saturday, February 12 @ 2pm 4800 Walnut Street - in front of West Philly High School, across from the Windermere Bring friends! Windermere residents are contacting the news media, and PETA and PSPCA are both aware of this situation. That doesn't mean that the owners shouldn't be publicly shamed for their inaction and refusal to allow anyone (even emergency personnel and others who had access) to take humane traps inside. All avenues are being explored. Now please come to the protest/rally if you can, and SUPPORT THE WINDERMERE RESIDENTS AND THE CATS!
