Description: Our disaster response team is on the ground in Louisiana, helping animals and families impacted by the devastation from Hurricane Ida. While the team was in Lafitte conducting water rescue operations with our partners Code 3 and ASPCA, a resident flagged them down and asked for help with her animals. She didn’t have enough carriers for her four cats and didn’t want to leave them behind—her home was no longer safe to stay in due to severe damage by Hurricane Ida. She also has a 16-year-old cocker spaniel named CiCi that she refused to leave. The team safely loaded her cats into crates and rescued her and CiCi out of the home, and contacted local authorities to find a cohabitation shelter so she could be safe with CiCi. She now has a place to stay together with CiCi, and her cats are staying at the local shelter until the family can be reunited. ➡ Subscribe: bit.ly/IFAWSubscribe Follow IFAW on social: YouTube: bit.ly/IFAWYouTube Facebook: bit.ly/IFAWFacebook Instagram: bit.ly/IFAWInstagram TikTok: bit.ly/IFAWTikTok Twitter: bit.ly/IFAWTwitter LinkedIn: bit.ly/IFAWLinkedIn About IFAW: IFAW explores new ways to improve conditions for animals, people, and the place we call home.
