We have confirmed that it is the City that is demanding demolition
with the live pets inside and without letting residents retrieve their
irreplaceable items. The bldg owners are trying to fight them - the
owners want to secure the building so that people can go in, before
demo! PLEASE CALL THE MAYOR'S OFFICE, and demand that they allow
residents and rescuers access to the building before demolition to get
the cats out and so people can get their belongings. The more
pressure, the better. His email address is: [email protected]
and phone number is 215-686-2181. You will get a live person when
you call this number who will record your complaint.
SAMPLE LETTER:
Dear Mayor Nutter:
As Mayor of Philadelphia, you know how important homes are to the
residents of your city. Homes aren't just the places we live--they are
the repositories of our belongings, the places our beloved pets live,
and where we go at the end of the day to feel safe.
The residents of the Windermere Apts. in West Philadelphia have lost
so much of their homes due to a fire last month. Please help them to
avoid losing everything--including their living, suffering animals.
I ask you to please stop the demolition of the Windermere Apts. until
rescuers have been able to save the cats inside, and residents have
been able to get in and safely remove their salvageable possessions.
I urge you to make this situation better, instead of worse.
Thank you,
name, Philadelphia.
