Rehousing animals

It is almost 6 months since the Great Eastern earthquake, and only now, can we bring you news that people are being supportive to the face that there were animals involved too.

Here is an article printed yesterday. So many animals have already died or suffered unnecessarily. At least something is being done, even if it is so very late.

Stray Sendai kittens seek Tokyo homes

Kyodo

The government in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, is promoting the adoption of stray kittens born in Sendai following the March 11 quake and tsunami.

The first 15 kittens were brought to Tokyo on July 21 and owners for most of them have already been found, with Chiyoda Ward hoping that about 50 kittens will be accepted in the capital or its vicinity by the end of the year. Volunteers are caring for them.

The number of stray pets in Sendai has more than doubled compared with usual years.

Many kittens have also been born to runaway house cats that apparently panicked and left their homes after the disaster.

On a positive note, Selena, from JEARS, who works so very hard to feed and look after so many of the animals at the Fukushima base, just forwarded this picture. She has a driving companion! You see, you look after the animals, they look after you!
