Help for Japanese pets caught up in the disaster

[Tiggy's Mum]

I hope they are safe  I know it's only two animals out of potentially thousands but once you have seen their little faces they stay in your head 

I did see on a news clip in the corner of an emrgency shelter a cat wandering around which was heartwarming

Unfortunately, according to Global Animal, the reports that they are safe are unconfirmed

Still hoping. Fingers crossed

That's so sad.  Least they are both safe now and will hopefully be homed together.  Poor babies.

I have been worrying a lot about the pets that have been caught in the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, as well as the human tragedies. If you can spare a bit, this short article has info on authorized charities that are already helping there:
