K.A.R.E. is a proud member of the ASPCA and FEMA certified in Animal Rescue...

(Kansas continued) According to Jim Boller of CODE 3, the water is receding. Water & city operations have been shut down while the Environmental Protection Agency evaluates. CODE 3 is remaining in Coffeyville to help at the temporary shelter for animal care. Coffeyville's animal shelter was totally destroyed by the oil & flood. They need to rebuild. CODE 3 has been working 14 to 16 hour days. Decontamination centers manned by two Veterinarians were set up to decontaminate the animals & people. Some animals are dehydrated but most are doing well. "After the first days, the water spill receded quickly. We thought the situation was going to be much worse than it is now. We rescued 120 animals. Sixty are already back with their owners. The rest of the animals are waiting to be identified by residents. Residents displaced are securing places to stay with their animals. The state & local authorities are dealing with the strays", Boller said. The city of Coffeyville plans to establish a flood relief fund to then disperse to the residents. The Red Cross staging area for distribution of supplies is in flux. No new address was available as of yet. "Coffeyville residents were given 6 hours notice to evacuate. Most evacuated with their animals. There were 300 homes evacuated. We expected much worse in homes. There were a few deceased canines. We are going back to recheck. Residents were generally diligent about taking their pets. It is gratifying to know that education has worked & people are not leaving their pets behind", said Boller. Thank you KAT 5 / KARE volunteers & animal lovers for your rapid response. It is good to know that we are prepared. You are our heroes! At present we can draw a deep breath and rest, until the next one...

What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas!

In mid September 2006 a call came into Knapptime about a lost Congo African Grey parrot. At first we recommended all the usual things, list him in the local newspapers, list him on 911ParrotAlert, put his cage in the yard, put his favorite foods in his cage, play his favorite music so that he can hear it. We went with the one mile/one month theory that says a bird will stay in a one mile radius of where he flew from for the first month. Flyers were made, posted locally, reward offered and Dusty was seen several times, but not recaptured.

KARE has been in the media a little this year and we are grateful for the opportunity, confidence and honors given to us. Through these and other events such as fund raisers we hope to gain financial stability in order to continue "saving those without voices..." We will continue to prepare for what challenges lay ahead. This has been a slow, costly, humbling, and financially strapping process. To all of you, who over the years have come to our aid you have earned your wings! I know you have gained our respect and much, much, more than can be put into words. Thank you!!!

As a full spectrum avian rescue we have just started scraping the surface of services we "can and do provide!" With our community, county and state support, we look to the future with alacrity that our organization can continue to meet and exceed the boundaries in both human and bird coexistence...
