Check out our new article on Pet Adoption at Petango.com
I got an email the other day from my friends at the Dumb Friends League (nice they named it after our humans!) about the awful wildfires, especially in the Colorado area. They, and others, have dispatched teams to the area to help with the displaced critters. Can you just imagine how scared the critters must be? And those poor critters that were already in shelters there waiting for homes, it is just so sad.
I had a couple of emails from some pals wanting to know the best way to help them out, and I remembered the newsletter I got. First, you can visit the Forest Fire Help page at the Dumb Friends League. There you will see that they recommend the following organizations:
Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region (www.hsppr.org)
Larimer Humane Society (www.larimerhumane.org)
Humane Society of Boulder Valley (www.boulderhumane.org)
PetAid Disaster Relief Fund (www.petaidcolorado.org)
Dumb Friends League (www.ddfl.org)
So please, if you can, help them out. And please spread the word to others. I am so thankful there are organizations with paws on the ground helping out. Now, perhaps, we can help the helpers.
Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!!!! More Forever Homes More Often! Purrrrr! Zip! Later!
Thanks for spreading the word Brian. BTW – you look pretty darn comfortable on the scratcher.
Brian – you are such a great guy always helping others….
What a handsome dude that is on the cat scratcher, ohhhh, I guess that’s you!! eh he
Thanks for giving us the link to help the animals caught up in the fire area. We feel so bad for all the humans and animals in the area of where the fires are – so devastating.
Brian, you look so thoughtful there on your scratcher and we all need to think about all the poor critters out there in those fires. Thanks for the info on how to help them. We sure will check it out. Hope all of you can stay cool today. Getting hot again, darn it all.
That Dumb Friends League page is really a great page. They sound like they are terrific.
Brian, thank you for this info and addresses. xoxoxox
Brian, thank you for sharing all of this information! I live in Colorado, and I can tell you the fires are horrible.
I cannot even imagine how hard it must be for those people and fur babies who have lost their homes. It is really sad.
The Dumb Friends League has done a lot to help displaced animals over the several years I’ve been here. I’m really glad they are helping the animals now, too.
We pray the fires will be put out very soon and that all the displaced people and animals can either go back to their homes or find a nice new home to live in.
Thanks for the info Brian – the Dumb Friends League sound great.

Thanks for keeping us updated Brian. Our paws are crossed for all of the animals in the danger zone.
It is always so sad for the animals when wildfires hit. I will check out the Dumb Friends Page right now.

That’s great information, Brian! I tweeted your link so that even more cats and their peeps could read it. purrs
We feel so sad to hear about the horrible wildfire. I made a little contribution and hope it can help. Thank you for all your information, Brian.
I know the woman reposted the Larimer link because a friend of hers posted it. She lives in Fort Collins, but fortunately so far she is safe but has friends who lost a home.
Oh, my… fireworks are so dangerous!!!!!!!!
Thanks to help and share, Brian!
I’m so glad to hear there are teams out helping these animals – and I am sure they need OUR help!
Brian, thanks for this excellent info. Fire damages in many ways. I am forced to stop blogging until get a new computer (freak electrical storm fried my motherboard.)
awful is really the word, being from california we are always in fear of the wildfires. a friend of our humans recently sold the house they owned in colorado springs. a week ago they got a call from the police in colorado springs saying their house was burned down. they’ve had a hard time selling that house and only in march did the sale closed now the new owners had no home, very sad.
