Help the Animals in Huricane Katrina

The Wisconsin Humane Society will be collecting donations to help the companion animal victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Members of the community can drop off donations Saturday, September 3 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, September 4 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Wisconsin Humane Society, 4500 W. Wisconsin Avenue in Milwaukee.

Proceeds will be delivered to hurricane stricken areas by America's Second Harvest of Wisconsin, who will distribute the items to the Houston Humane Society, the group that is currently housing animals for the Louisiana SPCA.

Needed donations for companion animals include monetary, canned dog and cat food, litter, kennels, metal cages, leashes, disposable bowls and litter pans, and pooper scoopers.

Other needed items to help care for companion animals include bottled water, towels, sheets, paper towels, hoses, trash cans and bags, extension cords and fans. People can even purchase items at WHS's retail store, Animal Antics, and donate them.
