Paws For Japan-Aid for Animals of the Japan Tsunami/Earthquake

There is nothing that I could write that would begin to sum up the devastation that has taken place in Japan.

It is far from over

With every day that passes there are more horrific images, stories and events that most of us cannot even begin to comprehend ever having to contend with that have now become the people of Japan's new reality.

If we cannot comprehend the situation, imagine the animals. It is difficult to articulate what I am feeling because it upsets me too much.
There is a strength, determination, level of caring and desire to help by those of us in the pet blogging community  (and our readers) that is unsurpassed.

I want to help

If you want to help, please see the information below that I first learned about through Pawcurious and Your Daily Cute.

VETERINARY AID
FOR THE ANIMALS OF
 THE JAPAN TSUNAMI/EARTHQUAKE

World Vets is a international veterinary aid organization providing ongoing veterinary programs in 28 countries worldwide as well as disaster respone for animals. We are currently mobilizing supplies, gear and a first responder team to Japan to help the animals impacted by the recent tragic disaster in Japan. DONATIONS URGENTLY NEEDED to get help to animals in Japan. Animals are often forgotten in times of such tragedy. World Vets wil not forget them! Our website is http://www.worldvets.org. We are a 501c3 Nonprofit based in the United States.

Please DONATE NOW!"

The above info was taken from the World Vets website. There is a ChipIn link on the side of my blog that will be given directly to World Vets. Please contribute if you can.


If you can't afford to donate, never under estimate the power of Prayer or sharing this blog and others like it to help spread the word.


Each of our lives and the lives of our beloved animals can change in an instant.

    @Old Kitty, I am wondering if I did something wrong. I copied the link for the ChipIn and just put it on my HTML and it posted on my blog. Was I supposed to connect it to something else? I just clicked on the "copy" at the bottom of the ChipIn thing. Does anyone know if I did something wrong?

    Thank you so much, Caren & Cody! We've been trying to figure out the best use for the money we want to donate to the relief effort, and this strikes the "purrfect" chord in us... because if we were ever in such a tragic situation, we'd want to know our furbaby would be taken care of. xoxo

    Caren, thanks for this wonderful post. It's almost overwhelming just to see and read about the devastation in Japan, it's great to know we can all at least band together and help in any way possible.

    I wanted to let you know too that I passed a Bloggy award on to you today. Thanks for being an inspiration to me!!

    We haf donated to help Japan out in this very devastating period. We were also relieved to learn that the kitty residents of Cat Island were not too badly affected by the earthquake and tsunami.

    Thanks for posting this Caren. This tragedy will continue to devastate for many years. We have to take care of everyone and everything from the people, buildings, and animals of course. My mother was wondering how the koi ponds are doing over there. Well I offer my prayers.
