People Stay Behind To Save Stranded Cats From Flood In Houston

A picture of six cats rescued on August 28 is going viral. Theses lucky kitties were found in the Houston area and then safely transported to an animal shelter where they got all the help they needed. As you can imagine, it’s been a very busy time for local rescue organizations such as SPCA of Texas and Austin Pets Alive. Since the beginning of the emergency, they have successfully transported hundreds of animals from the affected areas to their shelters or foster homes.

“From the fosters who waited in line for over two hours to help give an animal a safe and dry place to stay, to the amazing donors showing up with carloads of much needed items, to online funding support – we thank you from the bottom of our hearts,” APA said. “As we continue to care for the animals we have already saved, we have to prepare for even more animals who will need us in the coming days.”

Residents got together to save many cats that were stranded in the flooded areas.
