3. Feedback/Updates: Missouri Floodwaters Rising
==========================
FEEDBACK ABOUT: 3/19/08, Underwater Missouri Town Needs Animal Aid
Kinship Circle THANKS everyone who took initiative to help animal victims in response to our 3/18 and 3/19 alerts about flash floods in Piedmont, Missouri (that wiped out the town’s only animal shelter). Terri Archer, our contact who coordinated resources from her home in Cuba, MO, writes on 3/20/08: “Thank you so much for everything you have done. We’ve received many responses with offers to help and supplies being sent. As soon as we can get them to her [Cibele Hasenbeck, ACO in Piedmont]. They are expecting rivers to crest again on Sunday. Yikes.”

We’ve been informed surviving animals from Piedmont’s shelter have gone to rescue groups in Missouri. At least 11 lucky kitties have a second chance with Felines Forever, the same foster group that took 14 cats Kinship Circle brought back from New Orleans last February...
FLOODS IN SOUTHEAST MISSOURI/ILLINOIS CONTINUE TO RISE:
Outlying communities along swollen rivers (Eureka, Valley Park, Fenton, Pacific, Delta, Whitewater, Gray Summit, High Ridge...) have partially evacuated. Humane Society of Missouri has set up a temporary shelter in Cape Girardeau, MO. If Kinship Circle learns of more specific regions needing outside aid, supplies, etc. for their animals, we will keep you updated.

Ellis was trying to move her animals and belongings to higher ground. Three dogs, three cats, five chickens, one dove, and one parrot drowned. J.B. Forbes, St. Louis Post Dispatch
