In time of dire need

We here at Chez le Chat Noir have had our experiences with hurricanes, but never anything like what the residents of the Gulf Coast are now going through. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.

Please consider donating to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort via the link to the right and at the bottom of this post. It will take you to NetworkforGood.org's list of reputable non-profit charities working to aid the people and animals of the region, as well as to information on current situations, specialized programs, and volunteer opportunities.

You can donate directly through the site, or follow the link to each organization's individual webpage. The Red Cross is also offering donation services through Amazon and Yahoo.
