Hurricane Gustav Animal Rescue Update
September 5, 2008 : 5:06 PM
KAT 5 Animal Rescue is on the ground in Louisiana helping
animals in the wake of Hurricane Gustav. While Gustav is not the scale of Katrina,
there are animals in dire need.
We are finding animals who need medical care and who have no food and water
including dogs who have been left chained to fences.
Today a KAT 5 transport picked up dogs from hurricane damaged shelters. The
animals will be placed in homes and no-kill rescues.
To continue our rescue efforts donations are needed for medical costs for the
animals, transports and supplies. If you would like to support the rescue efforts
of KAT 5 please go to:
kat5.org
One hundred percent of the money donated will go to the animals. KAT 5 is a
501c3 non-profit.
Thank you for all of the offers of help. This is an ongoing effort with
changing needs. We very much appreciate your willingness to to make our rescue
efforts possible.
Thank you,
KAT 5

Milo has FeLV (feline leukemia). Milo is only about six
months old. He is very affectionate, playful and purrs and purrs when you love on
him.
Milo (male cat, 6 mo, neutered, all shots up to date, FeLV +)

Homesick for the home I've never had:
Leo
August 6, 2008 : 9:48 PM
Leo was pulled from a kill shelter by a rescue group twice!
He then was sent on a transport to a new home where he got out the very day that he
arrived. Leo was lost for almost 3 weeks on the streets scared and hungry.
Leo is now safe and he wants a real forever home to call his own where he will
be loved and cared for. Leo is very sweet and affectionate and he loves to play
like a puppy. For more information about Leo please contact Kat 5 Animal Rescue
Phone: 972-898-3300 Email: kat5animalrescue@yahoo.com

There is no place like home!: McKenzie finds a
home
August 6, 2008 : 9:44 PM
McKenzie does not need to squeeze her eyes shut and click her
fuzzy paws together while reciting, "There is no place like home..." because she is
already home at long last!
McKenzie went from a life living in fear on the railroad tracks to a loving
home with a new Rottweiler sister named Lucy and her new 'Mom' Mary Ann and 'Dad'
Willie. *McKenzie is pictured above in the forefront with her sister Lucy.
"McKenzie fits right in with our family and has adapted well to all of us. At
first she was really timid and shy but she has made a great adjustment and knows
she is wanted", Mary Ann said.
McKenzie now has the life that she always dreamed of; loved by a family of her
own. KAT 5 has three other animals waiting to have a happy ending like McKenzie.
"Somewhere over the rainbow" there are wonderful homes for them out there...maybe
yours or someone that you know?
Please take a moment to read about Milo, Leo and Lilly in the stories below.
Thank you.
Art With Paw-pose: Great Dane Mozart Paints with a
Message
June 24, 2008 : 1:12 AM
Artist Statement: I am the Harlequin Haven Great Dane Rescue
Spokesdog against puppy mills, pet stores, and homeless dogs. I have dedicated my
life to this cause and in doing so I create art by painting with my paws. Painting
helps me to overcome my pain of my early days in a puppy mill and also helps with
bringing awareness to these issues.
I was one of the June 2007 featured Artists for the Mac Worthington Art Gallery
in Columbus, Ohio. Click here to see more of My Paintings on the Mac Worthington
Art Gallery Website:
http://www.macworthington.com/featuredartist15.htm
All proceeds go to helping the homeless dogs and awareness.
Artist History: Mozart was purchased at the Ohio Amish Dog Auction but was
discarded soon after at a county dog pound. As a "product" of a Mennonite dog
breeder, Mozart was terrified and didn't know what to expect of humans and life
outside a cage--he had been raised as livestock rather than as a pet. Harlequin
Haven Great Dane Rescue, in Bethel, Ohio, came to Mozart's rescue by offering him a
safe and healthy environment with lots of love.
Details: These paintings are on stretched canvas and painted with acrylic
paint. None are framed. To purchase a painting email mozart@hhdane.com. Shipping is
not included in the price. Please include your zip-code for shipping cost. You may
use paypal to purchase a Mozart Painting.

Welcome to KAT 5 Animal Rescue
A love letter for Oso, now named Bear, from his new
"Dad"
June 23, 2008 : 9:56 PM
"I love Oso/Bear sooooooooooooooo much. In the last days he
has really come out of his shell, he is playing with his sisters Kya and Misty and
his brother Laredo.
photo: Kya on the left and Bear/Oso on the right
He really seems to enjoy the companionship and security that comes from being
part of a pack, his natural K-9 instincts are allowing him to quickly fit in as a
part of the pack and as a member of the family. Even though he had never been
socialized with other dogs in his life before now, where he had been banished to a
solitary existence in the back yard neglected and ignored by his former owners. He
has bonded with me so strong and I with him.
He sleeps on my bed every night, he rarely leaves my side and never lets me out
of his sight when I'm home. He would rather that I pet him and play with him than
have any dog treat in the world. Bear loves attention and affection he acts like he
is just so starved for it. He loves to ride in my Jeep and wants to go with me
every time I leave and greets me at my return when he can't go like I have been
gone for days even if it was only a half hour.
His favorite toy though there are many in the doggy toy basket is a stuffed
Teddy Bear he picked out on his second day with me. He carries it around like its
his baby, he removed the red sweater, the eyes and one of the ears but seems very
happy with it the way it is now. Bear has learned so many new things like how to
knock on the back sliding glass door when he wants in (Misty, Kya and Laredo taught
him that), that when the bell rings on the microwave it means food is coming out,
that the refrigerator is one of the other places food comes from, and most of all
that his new Dad loves him very much.
I walk Bear every night after sunset because its way too hot in the daytime
now, I can tell he had never been walked before but he becomes a little better on
the leash each night. Bear is such a joy to my life and watching him learn to
interact with my other dogs and adjust to living in the house has been like
watching a beautiful flower bloom.
Bear just needed to be loved and he gives nothing but love in return. He will
sit for hours next to me on the sofa with his big head in my lap and his Teddy Bear
clutched between his big white paws. Bear is living proof that "Love Leads The
Way!!!". I want to thank You, Don, Jim, Larry and all of the folks at Kat 5 for
bringing Bear into my life. This is Bear's Forever Home now and he will be loved
like the cherished family member he is for the rest of his life.
Bear is not a replacement for my sweet boy Rusty who left me after 15 years at
my side but Bear has helped ease the pain of my grief over Rusty's loss. Bear now
holds his own special place in my heart and I know Rusty is looking down on us from
the Rainbow Bridge wagging his tail with joy that I have opened my home and my
heart to yet another like I did for him 15 years ago when I took Rusty home off of
death row in the Albuquerque, NM City Pound.
Love You All,
Don, Bear, Misty, Kya & Laredo".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------
Thank you from KAT 5 to Jim and Don for transporting Bear. Thank you to those
of you who donated towards Bear's transport and made this happy story possible. A
huge thank you to Don H. for adopting and loving Bear. He will never look on from
the other side of the fence wistfully again... He is on the right side now and
forever.

Iowa: from the water's edge

resources for animal victims. http://www.kinshipcircle.org/disasters
RELIEF GLOBAL
6/20/08: IOWA FLOOD - Notes From The Water’s Edge
KINSHIP CIRCLE ANIMAL DISASTER AID NETWORK has been asked by the Iowa Dept.
of Agriculture/Veterinary Response Coordinator to support rescue operations
for Iowa animal flood victims and send volunteers where needed. If you’ve
seen the expanse of Midwest floods in news coverage -- you know we have our
work cut out for us! We thank subscribers for their patience during this
time...as we’ve been unable to focus on other campaigns.
==================================================================
1. NOTES: Oakville Area (Louisa County) Flood
==================================================================
OAKVILLE AREA (LOUISA COUNTY) FLOOD:
6/19/08: A boat crew assessed the scope of trapped animals. About 25 animals
were rescued from flooded areas and five were reunited with their families.
Some residents on boats also retrieved stranded animals. Oakville animals
were brought to Mediapolis Veterinary Clinic and Des Moines County Animal
Shelter, in Burlington, Iowa area. Neither shelter is in overflow yet. Boat
rescuers expect to leave Oakville 6/20, to set-up at Lee County Fairgrounds
staging area for assessment of animal situation in southeast Iowa.
One lucky dog, about 6 years old, was found in the rafters of a flooded home
-- where she’d crawled to escape floodwaters. At first the evacuated house
appeared empty. Then the walls began to tremble a bit, as this relieved girl
wagged her tail enthusiastically. “Chewy” was reunited with her family later
that day, after a rescuer at the scene covered vet bills for a bleeding
front paw. Considering her ordeal, Chewy’s in good shape...and happy to be
back with her people.
Kinship Circle sent a PSA to Iowa TV/radio and newspapers, on behalf of Iowa
Dept. of Agriculture, alerting residents to the rescue operations in
Oakville and where to check for their companions. The announcement also
included an Iowa hotline for residents to request rescue of animals trapped
in flooded homes. We hope the publicity will lead rescuers to more animals.
6/20/08: Already this morning, six cats and a puppy are out of harm’s way.
Calls continue to come in about animals stranded in flooded neighborhoods.
==================================================================
2. NOTES: Southeast Iowa Floods
==================================================================
SOUTHEAST IOWA / FORT MONTROSE, ARGYLE, KEOKUK, BURLINGTON... FLOODS:
6/20/08: Burlington, in southeast Iowa, was among the last Iowa areas to
fill with water...making waters too dangerous for search and rescue until
now. Boat teams left Oakville late this afternoon to operate from a “surge
shelter” for assessment and rescue.
Though we do not yet know the full scope of need here, we know at least
40-50 animals had been rescued and that Southeast Iowa Animal Protection
League is networking foster homes and shelters to house them. We’ve directed
some volunteers to the staging area at Lee County Fairgrounds.
COVERAGE OF DEVESTATION IN SOUTHEAST IOWA:
http://www.thehawkeye.com/
==================================================================
3. NOTES: The Tragedy Of The Pigs
==================================================================
LOUISA COUNTY PIGS:
6/18/08: A hog factory with thousands of pigs flooded. The owner was able to
evacuate most pigs, but 500 were released into waters. Some drowned...Others
who swam for their lives and managed to hoist their bodies atop levees where
SHOT by officials...because their hooves damaged sandbags. Most remain
trapped in a water-surrounded area. Kinship Circle has contacted Farm
Sanctuary, a rescue/advocacy group that helped farmed animals after Katrina.
6/19/08: Loose pigs have been spotted in churchyards, homes, and on
rooftops. One report said 70 pigs had convened in a single area. An
estimated 100 pigs -- from several flooded farms -- may still be wandering.
Most of the pigs were contained in one water engulfed area. In today’s
conference call with Iowa Ag Dept. we learned none of these particular pigs
are left. Local barge crews herded most out of the water. Survivors will
return to livestock operations... We do not have precise numbers.
On a positive note, one boat rescuer searching for stranded companion
animals today encountered a pig struggling in fast currents, clinging to a
floating object. As the pig swam around the corner of a building, the
rescuer was able to guide him toward an adjacent house with a relatively dry
porch. Though impossible for the rescuer to board this giant pig on his
small boat, he left the pig on dry ground with plenty of food.

Precious Cargo: Oso Needs Your Help to Get To A Loving
Home
June 7, 2008 : 11:27 AM
Oso, a husky, lived outside his whole life. He peeked under
his neighbor's fence and watched the well cared for dogs play.
Jim of KAT 5 was the neighbor. Jim called the authorities when he noted that
Oso was not only lacking attention but was now not getting adequate food and water.
Oso's owners told Jim that they were moving and not taking Oso with them.
KAT 5 intervened and found a wonderful home for Oso. Oso's new Dad lost a husky
3 months ago to cancer. He took one look at Oso's photo and he knew that was the
dog for him.
The transport for Oso is an 18 hour round trip. Please help Oso go to a home
where he will be loved and cared for like he deserves.
To donate towards Osos's transport please go to:

Thank you from KAT 5 and Oso.
Welcome to KAT 5 Animal Rescue
I once was lost but now am found...(Theo and Kitty
update)
May 31, 2008 : 2:23 PM
After almost three weeks of being lost, Theodore (pictured
above) was found safely with a new kitty friend in tow now named Milo. (See story
on link below).
It is our greatest hope that Theo and Milo can live in a forever home together.
We have received some sad news from the Vet about Milo that makes this a harder
outcome for Theo and Milo. Milo has just been diagnosed with FELV (feline
leukemia).
Milo is only about six months old. He is very affectionate and playful. Milo is
in remission and can live a happy, long life as long as he is kept indoors and is
not around other cats.
Milo would have gotten progressively sicker and he would have died homeless and
scared. Thanks to Theo, Milo is being neutered, cleaned up and treated. Theo and
Milo watched out for one another on the streets and it would be very sad to have to
separate the two after what they have endured together.
Please contact KAT 5 if you think that you are that special home who can keep
Theo and Milo together. We can answer any questions that you have about Milo's
health. Thank you.

Thank you,

...was blind but now I see (Update on
Goliath)
May 31, 2008 : 1:27 PM
Goliath (now named Roscoe pictured above with his new brother
Jesse) was adopted into a wonderful family who lives in the country. He has gone
from sleeping like a fearful street dog, always on alert for danger, to sprawling
out on his back on a bed relaxed and content.
Goliath was found during KAT 5s search for Theo. We were called about a
rottweiler that some children had found and were then seen abusing with sticks. We
knew that this dog could not be Theo by the description (he is too young and large)
but we of course went to rescue him.
“My goal is to erase the sadness from his eyes”, said Gerri Pharher Roscoe’s
new "Mom".
It is incredible to think how Theo’s search led us to Goliath and these other
dogs needing rescue. Goliath lived in fear just a few weeks ago. Now he has a
loving home.
Ellie and Mckenzie (two other sweet rotts found during the search for Theo) are
still in need of rescues or forever homes.

Full of Grace: The long way home...
May 28, 2008 : 12:22 AM
I (Susan, KAT 5) was driving home today when I saw a poor pit
bull girl running alongside the road in the rain.
I parked my car in a driveway after seeing her run behind a house. A man came
out and asked what I was up to. I told him about the poor dog and asked to run
through his yard. He said, "Is she your dog?". I told him no but she looked like
she needed help. He let me go through his yard but she went running through the
alley.
I lost her and then returned to my car to get to the next street. I called my
Mom for backup and asked her to bring some food. We saw her at the end of a road
three streets down and got out. She continued to run so I sat on the grass and
called to her.
She crawled to me on her belly shaking and put her head on my knee. Mom gave
her some food and she hesitantly walked between the two of us.
Tomorrow Grace, her new name, will go to the Vet to be vetted. Grace has cuts
on her. She looks pregnant but the Vet will check her out.
I had been on my way home thinking about our new rotts and finding them forever
homes and I found this darling girl. Tonight she is warm and safe. These poor dogs
(pit bulls) have it so hard. Pits are the most abused dogs in the world. Looking
into this sad girl's eyes I thought of how man has stigmatized this poor breed when
all they want is love and kindness.
THEO FOUND!! Theo and Kitty kept one another
safe
May 23, 2008 : 10:46 AM
KAT 5 received a call yesterday from a man named Robert
Lockhart who had seen Theo's missing posters. He said that a dog that looked like
Theo had been coming into his yard for the last week with a black and white kitty.
"Whenever I saw the black and white cat, I knew that the dog (Theo) was there
in my yard," Lockhart said.
"They were eating trash so I started to put out food for them. My friend saw
the poster and told me that it looked like Theo. So I called the number on the
poster".
Yesterday Don of kAT 5 set up a trap in the yard and this morning he went to
check it and there was Theo! Theo was not in the trap. He was next to the trap and
inside the trap was a black and white kitty. (Like Milo and Otis!).
Don walked over to Theo and just scooped him up into his arms. It was as though
Theo knew that Don was a good guy and that he would be safe now.
Theo was found 1.26 miles from where he got loose on May 6. Thank you to
everyone for your efforts and prayers. The Chicago Police Department ,especially
Sgt. Al Kazlowski, have been amazing!!
"Theo is personal for us now, the whole department is looking for Theo", Sgt.
Kazlowski said last week.
Bob and Crystal of KAT 5 have been running out in the middle of the night for
two weeks now when we got a lead. Jim Berns' lost dog posters really got people's
attention. The community at large has been wonderful to us. Everyone around the
country sending encouragement has kept us going.
Goliath, Ellie and Mckenzie are getting the care that they need because of the
search for Theo. Please contact us if you are interested in adopting them.
kat5animalrescue@yahoo.com
We at KAT 5 say never give up & Thank you!
*Better pics and more details to follow
*Kitty is going to the Vet to be vetted on Tuesday and will be reunited with
Theo.
*Robert Lockhart is now a KAT 5 volunteer. We are so happy to have him!
Why it is all worth it...
May 21, 2008 : 2:09 AM
McKenzie asleep at the hotel.
Goodnight & Thank you,
KAT 5
Today Mckenzie went from a lonely life on the railway tracks to a bed at a
hotel
May 21, 2008 : 1:43 AM
McKenzie
Today McKenzie went from a lonely life on the railway tracks to a bed at our
volunteer's hotel. This poor girl was seen by KAT 5 volunteer Bob when he was
trapping for Theo last week. Bob tried to catch her throughout that night. Some
children said that they knew of this dog and other kids were throwing rocks and
sticks at her.
Earlier tonight Don and Bob trapped this poor girl now named McKenzie. Locals
say that they are relieved that we have taken her because they have been worried
about her safety for the past year that she has been in the area. A source on the
scene said that dog fighters have been trying to trap her. There was a makeshift
trap along the fence-line.
McKenzie will need some TLC. Tonight she is sleeping on a bed at KAT 5
volunteer Don's hotel and asking for pets. McKenzie is taking treats from people's
hands. McKenzie is the the 4th abused rot that we have rescued during our search
for Theo. (One, Roxie, is at rescue now so we have 3 to place once they are
vetted).
Theo is still at large. Traps are being set and we are very hopeful. As of
12:32 AM an animal was seen almost going into the trap but ran away. Don thinks
that it may have been Theo...
Thank you everyone for your concern and help in the search for Theo. We are
doing everything that we can think of to find Theo.
Please contact KAT 5 for more information. 972-898-3300.

IL: Goliath is the 2nd Abused Dog Found During Theo
Search
May 20, 2008 : 4:55 PM
Goliath.
In the search for Theo we were called about a rottweiler that some children had
found and were then seen abusing with sticks. We knew that this dog could not be
Theo by the description (he is too young and large) but we of course went to rescue
him.
We took Goliath to the Vet and he has now had his shots and tests. He will be
neutered this week. Goliath, despite what he has endured, is a sweet young rott.
The Vet estimates his age to be at most two years old. He needs a home without cats
but he is great with dogs and people. Goliath acts like a joyful pup.
IL: Search for Theo Yields 3 Abused
Rotts
May 20, 2008 : 4:44 PM
Ellie. We receive a potential Theo sighting and Ellie was
rescued.
KAT 5 Search for Theo in Chicago Yields 3 Sweet Rotts Needing Loving Homes
May 21, 2008
We have received countless calls with sightings of rottweilers thought to be
Theodore. We now have three who are not Theodore but were in dire need of rescue.
Because of our search Ellie, Goliath and McKenzie will now get the care that they
need. We are looking for loving homes to foster or adopt or rescues for our new
sweet rottweilers. KAT 5 is a disaster response animal rescue and we do not have a
shelter
Ellie is pictured above. We were called with a potential Theo sighting and
instead we found Ellie. She is at a Vet office getting a medical evaluation. She is
about 6 or 7 years old. She is very affectionate and loves to go for walks. Ellie
has a big indentation on the left side of her head. Tests are being done on this to
determine her course of care. Ellie needs a good dental, eye surgery and to be
spayed. The Vet said that she will be OK. Now she just needs a loving home.
KAT 5 transports sweet Dane for our friends at Harlequin
Haven Great Dane Rescue in Ohio
May 16, 2008 : 11:18 PM
Yesterday, KAT 5 volunteer Don picked up a Great Dane named
Hayley from a kill shelter. Don transported her safely to our friends at Harlequin
Haven Great Dane Rescue in Bethel, Ohio.
Hayley has a club foot and will need medical evaluation. She may need to have
her leg amputated. But Hayley is a sweet girl, and her Dane personality will see
her through it. In any event, the ten hour round trip was certainly worth Hayley's
life.
Funds are needed to pay for Hayley's care and recovery. Please visit Harlequin
Haven's web page for more information. Thank you.
