Catster Helps Ratster Survive Fargo Flood
Karen Nichols

Catster Mom Wendy, who lives on “the only hill in Fargo,” has volunteered to provide temporary shelter for animals who aren’t allowed in the shelters provided for animal victims of the Fargo floods. Her first taker was Jasper the Rat (affectionately known by the felines in the house as “Lunch”). And no, that’s not Jasper in the photo above — just an example of interspecies bonding.

Wendy almost took in a pair of ferrets, but they were able to find housing. If you or someone you know in the Fargo area needs a temporary home for cats or caged animals (sorry, she’s not set up to accept dogs), leave a note in the comments, and I’ll put you in touch with her.

    Mistress just heard on the news, a lady in Fargo who was evacuated to a hotel and she said, with tears in her eyes, that she had to take her cat to a shelter, and that she missed her! *sniff* Purrs for that lady and all the people seperated from their furs!
