People Refuse To Leave And Stay Behind To Save Stranded Cats From Flood In Houston
Hurricane Harvey has left countless of residents stranded in Texas – and pets were also affected by the floods, with many of them getting left behind. We have already written about brave people going an extra mile to save the dogs in danger, but luckily, kitties weren’t forgotten either.
A picture of six cats rescued on August 28 is going viral. The felines were found in the Houston area and were safely transported to the shelter. There, they got all the help they needed.
Indeed, it’s a very busy time for local rescue organizations such as SPCA of Texas and Austin Pets Alive. Since the beginning of the emergency, they have transported hundreds of animals from the affected areas to their shelters or foster homes.
“From the fosters who waited in line for over two hours to help give an animal a safe and dry place to stay, to the amazing donors showing up with carloads of much needed items, to online funding support – we thank you from the bottom of our hearts,” APA said.
“As we continue to care for the animals we have already saved, we have to prepare for even more animals who will need us in the coming days.”

I love animals, I'm not crazy about dogs (still loving them), but looking at these pics, for the love I have for cats, makes me cry and dreaming to have one of them, here, right now, beside me, and playing with me and my other two cats, Roy and Troy...
It is said that one way of measuring how civilized a society is how they treat animals.
omg Their cries are heartbreaking. </3 I'm so glad they were rescued!
THANK HEAVENS for good people like this. I can't believe how MANY scums are on this earth and are leaving dogs, cats and horses not just behind, but some tied to go to their executions in flood water. I want to see every one of them burn in hell.
I think anyone who leaves a defenseless animal to die in a hurricane or whatever then turns around and begs for help, money whatever gets what they deserve and karma is a real b***h
It is sad, but the cat face never fail to amuse me. Bless you all the people who help all of this creature.
Thank you for helping poor animals!!! Please help not only cats and dogs but also other animals! Thank you so much!
My little cat is crying along with them and licking me thinking it's me 😻😿
So heartening to think there are still kind, unselfish people in the world. Bless you all.
Thank you for helping all these critters! I can't imagine anything that would make me leave my animals (a dog, two rats and a dove), and I feel bad for all the animals whose people would abandon them like this.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart- thank you for rescuing and protecting these innocent souls. You have restored my faith in humanity. Kisses and hugs to all the animals braving the store, and of course the rescuers. ❤❤❤
Here you are acting all righteous about loving animals and in the other post picking on the vegan girl and trolling her about eating animals

Poor exhausted and terrified babies. :'( Thank you for caring, and saving them. <3
I don't think that's true. I've heard many stories about cat rescues.
