The photo of Mohawk, above, doesn't
truly do justice to what rescuer Cammie Owen (and the rest of us)
witnessed when we met him. You can pretty much guess by the name he was
given that all the fur he had in his possession was a flash of scraggly hair
down his back. A severe case of mange (and probably years of neglect)
left this boy one unlucky-lookin' feller. |

Latest submission from
a PasadoRescuer!
"Esplanade was rescued by Pasado in early October from a street called
Esplanade in New Orleans. She was terrified and extremely shy when I
first met her cowering in her cage at Raceland. I held her when she
needed fluids and put ice packs next to her to cool her during the hot
days. |
|
After I came back, I
was one of those to persuade Purrfect Pals volunteers to drive down and
bring cats for fostering and adoption here in Washington. I specifically
listed several cats that I had worked with in hopes that they would be
able come. Esplanade was one of them. She was a difficult one to find a
home for as she would hide in her cage and show no one anything but her
little black rump. Finally, in January 2006 she was adopted, but it was
not a good adoption. I decided at that point to take her into my family.
She has been with me now since early August and she is loving and sweet,
purrs and loves treats. She is still shy and hides but not as much as
she did. It will be a long journey for her to know that she is with me
forever. She is getting to know the other members of my family, most
especially 'the bad boys' Patches and his brother B.C. who only want her
to play.
I want to thank Pasado for both rescuing this special girl and all of
the animals. And, also for allowing me to volunteer and work in
Raceland.
Thank you. Kathleen Shaw" |

Cammie, left, took Mohawk under her wing and you
should just see him now. He sports the thickest, most beautiful, flaxen
coat of fluffy black hair. He's such a beauty - and so loved. Thanks to
Cammie, a rescuer with a huge heart.

Amber and Indy
Amber C. is an awesome photographer. She took some of the awesome photos
you see on this website. She spent time in New Orleans rescuing, as well
as documenting the efforts of rescuers. And that's when she met Indy.
When Indy's guardian never appeared after
Katrina, Amber couldn't resist. |

"I wish everyone at
Pasado's, two legged and four (and those with 3) a great year! It is a
true pleasure to be an acquaintance of yours and the others in your
organization. Give Claudia a big hug from me! I miss talking to her
terribly! Tell her that I have more Stormy stories for her! For my
Christmas present, my family is sending me back to NOLA for a week. I
hope to be able to do some ground work and help reunite some more
animals with their families.
Here's me trying to hold Moose- my Pasado's rescue. He's the love
of my life! I thank you each day for saving him and sending him to me!
Beth M., Tennessee" |

From Yvonne..."I was, and still
am, honored to be a part of Pasado's work in New Orleans. There are no
words to sum up my experience. It is ever- present, the people, the
animals, the volunteers who worked 15 hour days in oppressive heat and
humidity, taking in the ultimate of sadness, giving unselfishly...
Larry N - I would not have been able to leave Seattle without your
contribution. Jennifer - I would not have been able to bring my Louisa
home without your beautiful guidance and generous gift. Patty
- the wonderful woman who brought Louisa in off the streets, without
you, Louisa may have perished in the mess that was the aftermath.
Maria - you have been an angel in my healing and in saving Louisa's life
during her three days in critical care (hugs and kisses to your little
Beanie). Secrette - my wonderful connection after the fact.
Roger - what can I say - you were my rock from day one as we hovered
over the derma-dogs.
Love to you all. Yvonne" |
