SIFI launches SoS (Survivors of Sandy) relief efforts on Staten Island


SIFI has launched the SoS (Survivors of Sandy) disaster relief effort to provide resources, supplies, and support to animal guardians on Staten Island.

what we're asking for:

- money...those of you who are familiar with us at all know that 100% of your donation will go directly to the animals

Physical Goods...
- pet food - primarily cat food, both wet and dry, any brand - for those who have no resources left even for themselves much less their animals
- carriers and crates to safely house animals whose guardians don't have homes to go back to
- warm blankets, sheets and towels for cats and dogs inside
- winter shelters for feral colonies across the island to replace those destroyed by the storm
(go to http://www.neighborhoodcats.org/HOW_TO_FERAL_CAT_WINTER_SHELTER for examples)

Hands-on help...
- transportation assistance for Rescuers and Caretakers who can't get to their animals or have no way to get them to temporary foster care
- temporary care for the pets and foster animals of displaced guardians and rescuers - many of our Rescuers are STILL pulling animals from the shelter to prevent them being killed in the aftermath, even as they are struggling to get a foothold themselves
- temporary feeders for colonies whose caretakers cannot make it to them
