Dana,
Here is the support request we sent out yesterday.

“Greetings to all:
We are very lucky to be spared hurricane weather, however the southern states are not as fortunate.  We would like to help the animal evacuees, but in order to do this we need your help.
Supplies needed:

Blankets /beds
slip chains/leashes
bowls (food & water)
rawhides
crates of all sizes
cat & dog food
cat litter/litter boxes
cat & dog formula
paper towels
flea & tick preventative (no flea collars please)

You may drop these items off at the shelter anytime within the next few days.
Thank you for your help.”

Please let me know if you need anything from us! Thank you for including us!

Consider pet-friendly hotels, family, friends and boarding facilities outside of the danger area. Pet-friendly hotels can be found by visiting two Web sites — www.petswelcome.com and www.pets-allowed-hotels.com. Those without a computer can visit a local library or the Louisiana SPCA.
