The notice was, surprise, surprise, was asking for money. Now, it started with "now caring for 350 hurrican Katrina animal orphans". That's nice, probably true. Supposedly they have over 800 animals in their care. They procalimed that the organization meets BBB (Better Business Bureau) standards and that they care for even exotic animals (listing many you might find in zoos as they are not indiginous to the US). All of that isn't a problem. I can even understand the donation request, but ...
if you have homeless domestic animals generally regarded as pets like, dogs, cats, birds, etc. ... it is unreasonable to ask also to take one into your house? They mentioned nothing of adopting the poor critters. They only wanted money. That is why I said, "nay nay"*.

! closing note: having a website doesn't make it legitimate; though, so many references to the pages does lend some credibility

I get those newsletters all the time. Always asking for money, but no updates on the animals listed in previous newsletters. Now the animal count is down to 600 and I learned at the time the ASUS sent out the "hurricane cat" story, this place had less than 50 cats in its posession. Sounds like a money scam to me! I'll pass on this one.
