Additional Roicy pics are up
Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2005 23:23:55 -0600 From: "Debbie" <rescuerealtor @cox .net> Subject: Additional Roicy pics are up
Missy has posted a few additional animals and deadline for all will be Thursday, Dec 29. They held over from last week so I don't expect many, if any hold overs this time. There is a Canadian group coming Thursday, and I have heard the rumor that they are pulling everything....and this is not what they have told me. They will not be taking any cats and as with most, they want smaller dogs. They may take a couple of the bigger dogs. The only other planned pull I know about is the Touring Terrier. The Rottie mix pups were adopted.

Grant Application
Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund, Application process and guidelines
OVERVIEW
The Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund is made possible by contributions received from donors throughout the nation and the world in response to Hurricanes Katrina. The Fund aims to fill gaps in medium- to longer-term recovery efforts in areas affected by the hurricane, with the following goals:
- Financial self sufficiency - to help put people on a path to financial self sufficiency;
- Economic opportunity - to create new economic opportunities in the impacted region; and
- Quality of life - to improve the quality of life through economic, cultural and social revitalization of impacted areas.
To achieve these goals, the Fund will partner with regional, statewide, and community organizations to help fill gaps in the recovery effort. Hundreds of local private nonprofit organizations have been on the front line of disaster relief and will continue to play a vital role in the full recovery of the Gulf Coast. These organizations will provide the expertise, local knowledge, and dedication needed to help people and communities recover and rebuild.
PROJECTS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR FUNDING
The Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund will support projects that
- 1) provide missing and critical pieces of integrated community recovery and rebuilding, and
- 2) adopt an approach that recognizes and reflects the interdependent nature of elements needed to renew and rebuild strong communities such as housing, employment, and religious, educational and recreational institutions.
The Fund will not provide direct assistance to individuals or operate programs. It will work primarily through partnerships and collaborations with other organizations in the following categories:
- Intermediary grantmakers: Organizations with experience in grant making at the county/parish, state and regional level.
- Direct service entities: Institutions that operate directly (rather than as intermediary grant makers) at the community, county/parish, state or regional level (including national nonprofit agencies operating at those levels).
The Fund expects to conduct most of its grant making on its own initiative, but it will accept unsolicited applications that focus on meeting unmet or under-met needs in the integrated recovery and rebuilding process that demonstrate the following:
- Needs addressed in the project could not be met through other sources of financing (e.g., government funding; insurance; other private charitable donors);
- Coordination with other entities and programs to ensure that the project will work in unison with other key pieces of integrated community development (e.g., housing programs should show coordination with economic development programs; after-school programs should show coordination with school rebuilding)
Proposed projects should serve one or more of the Fund's above-described goals. Other factors to be considered in reviewing proposals for funding include cost effectiveness and avoidance of duplication; sensitivity to the multicultural nature of the population served and in project staffing; organizational stability and capacity. Interested organizations may submit a letter of interest of no more than five pages, indicating the nature of the project, how and why it meets the above requirements and serves one or more of the above stated goals, and a proposed project budget.
Letters of interest should be sent to:
- Grants Administrator
- Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund
- 1301 K Street, NW
- 8th Floor
- Washington, DC 20005
All applicants will receive a response. Applicants under consideration for a grant will be contacted by Fund staff for further discussion and review and will be asked to submit a set of financial and organizational documents as well as letters of support from community and collaborative organizations. Grants awarded will be posted on this Web site ..."

Thank you for your kind response.
This inquiry to see if Animal Rescue organizations qualify for grant money. It isn't for our family whatsover. We are simply helping by putting individuals together with Shelters and Rescue Organizations Pro Bono. We solicit absolutely no funding. My husband and I are simply Scottish Terrier and all breed enthusiasts who believe our two Scotties are valuable and loving members of our family. We provide our site as a personal service to those wishing to locate a canine family member. We thank God everyday we located our Scottish Terriers, Neyll and Moose.
Please see Petfinders for their grant foundation that The Bush - Clinton Fund could aid. It supports the Rescue and Shelters that have the Hurricanes dogs. Read through some of the listings. See the pictures. Show the pictures to the Presidents and read them the poignant pleas for help.

Reuniting Displaced Families of Hurricane Katrina with their Pets Apply for Funds http://www.petfinder.com/foundation/request_funds.html
Imagine reuniting these animal family members with those who believe they have lost all. Are haunted by losing their animals during the evacuations and storm? Imagine animals saved by rescuers now in situations where they are being euthanized because there are no more places and monies to fund their upkeep?
See the online rescue communities' request to The Today Show to add to the Petfinders' Fund also. The Scotty Appeal Main Page

Comment:
- Regarding Animal Rescue Organizations still striving to reconnect pets with their owners lost in the hurricanes and those animals seeking adoption. Please consider sending funds to these volunteer organizations. I have written many contacts of these organizations advising they submit grant proposals.

Need Help getting Hurricane Katrina cat home, any advice???
Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2005 06:38:03 -0000 From: "Aprylla" <aprylla13 @yahoo .com> Subject: Need Help getting Hurricane Katrina cat home, any advice??? Forum: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gulfcoast_rescue_n_transport/
I am posting this message anywhere I think might be able to help. Please feel free to repost.
Up until Hurricane Katrina I lived in Biloxi, MS. After being told that area Red Cross Storm Shelters did not/would not accept pets, I did the only thing I knew to do with my cat (Smokey) and my dog (Nola), I left them at my home. My home went under 38 feet of water from what I have been told (I lived on the Back Bay of Biloxi). When I returned to where my home had been, only the front steps and the remains of my totaled car were left. I was able to recover my dog Nola about a month after the storm, my landlord had luckily found her and cared for her until I was able to return to get her. My cat Smokey remained missing.
I had almost given up hope. I had left my cell phone number as a Mississippi number for the past 4 months, in hopes that one day the phone would ring and it would be someone telling me they had Smokey. My cell phone number was going to be changed to a Georgia number (I now live in Saint Marys, Georgia) on January 1st. I have spent countless hours placing ads and searching shelter websites. I have prayed every night sine I left Biloxi prior to Katrina that Smokey was safe and cared for somewhere.
My prayers have been heard and answered. Today at work my cell phone rang. The lady on the other end asked me if I was missing a cat named Smokey. She said she had him and he looked ok. She has been feeding him for a few days. She lives only 3 streets or so away from where my house once was.
I am overjoyed, to say the least. I could barely think or talk when she called me. All I could say to her over and over was thank you. What a wonderful Christmas gift...the best one I have ever received.
However, my only concern now is that I am 8 hours away from Biloxi. I live about 35 miles North of Jacksonville, FL in the tiny town of Saint Marys, Georgia. I am working now, but have very limited resources with which to retrieve my cat. The lady who has him is living in a FEMA trailer and also has limited resources. She also has a large dog and a small space, so she is having to leave Smokey outside. I am terribly worried that he will disappear again before I can find a way to get him, or get run over or worse.
If anyone knows of anyone who can help me, I would sincerely appreciate it. All I need is someone who can get my cat, and someone to help me find out how to get him home. I can pay for airfare if anyone knows how to ship him through an airline. As I said, I have limited resources, but I will do everything within my power to get Smokey home.
If you have any advice, or info, or anything...PLEASE HELP!
THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE!!!
