Subject: Never Another Windermere - How you can help!
Hi folks -
As you probably know by now, City Kitties has finished trapping
inside of the Windermere building as of Saturday morning, due to the
increasing danger inside the building. Rocco was the last cat
brought out of the building on the 38th day after the fire, by which
point he suffered liver damage from starvation. (He is receiving
top quality vet care through City Kitties, funded by your generous
donations to the Windermere Fire Fund, and should be okay after some
TLC). We are still working with Project MEOW to trap around the
area, in case any other pets have wandered out of the building.
City Kitties is now working with Citizens for a No-Kill Philadelphia
to make sure that pets are never again left to die, due to the
incompetence by and lack of caring from city officials, and WE NEED
YOUR HELP. We have found out quite a bit more information about
what the actual failure was- specifically the federally funded
organization here in Philly (PHL CART) to rescue animals in exactly
this situation was never deployed, and as far as we can tell, has
*never* been deployed. Keep in mind that there are an average of 2
fires a day here in Philly, and 60% of all people have pets.... and
that PHL CART is actively receiving funding from your tax dollars to
rescue pets and is doing *nothing.*
We need people to once again make some calls and write some emails
to the people in charge of PHL CART and city officials, and spread
the word. This is critical to making sure that there is permanent
change.

Thank you everyone for the ongoing support - it is a great privilege
to be a part of a community that cares.
Peace,
