Dear FMLer's:
 
At 10:30 AM EDT Sunday 27 September 1998, I informed the Coordinators of
Ferret Friends Disaster Response International that we were moving to
DISASTER RESPONSE STATUS for the area extending from Pensacola, Fl, to
Morgan City, LA due to the impending Landfall of Hurricane Georges.
 
Hurricane Georges is a very dangerous Hurricane.  Children of Fur,
Feathers, Scales, Shells and Hooves who are hurt, abandoned, or in need of
rescue due to this Hurricane are COUNTING ON US.  DO NO let them down.
 
We have a forward supply area address for you to send supplies to.  It will
be given at the end of this message.  The supplies will be loaded into
vehicles and moved directly to the Disaster area for distribution.
 
When sending supplies please mark your box whether the supplies inside are
for: Cats, Dogs, Ferrets, Large Animals (horses, cows, lama's, etc.),
general supplies or medical.
 
Please check our website at

for the latest supplies list.  Also needed are basic items such as food for
dogs, cats, ferrets, birds, etc., Leash's, portable cages of all sizes.
Blankets, food dish's, water bowls, hoof picks, halters and leads for
horses, etc., things do not have to be new, but need to be in good shape.
 
Please begin packing the supplies TODAY and send them AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE TO:
