The E-Newsletter of the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals Out of the Cage! September 2006 - Volume 3: Issue 7/8 In the year since Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the Gulf Coast region, people have become far more sensitized to the essential bond between pets and their people. As we reflect upon the heroic animal rescue efforts made by so many people from around the country following the tragedy, it's hard to imagine a world that tolerates any animal being left behind. Sadly, such a world still exists, as we see daily in our work to rescue and re-home thousands of animals in our own backyard — New York City. But things are changing, and we are making progress — tremendous progress, in fact — in reducing the numbers of cats and dogs being left behind to an uncertain fate in crowded city shelters. Thanks to the ongoing efforts of more than 100 animal shelters and rescue groups in our area, working collaboratively with the talented and compassionate staff at Animal Care & Control of NYC, and fueled by crucial funding from Maddie's Fund, the ASPCA, and individuals and businesses, New York City is leaving fewer animals behind. In this issue of Out of the Cage! you'll read about Mayor's Alliance initiatives that are turning the tide for animals in NYC. Much of our news in this issue deals with expanding capacity among our participating organizations, as well as the Mayor's Alliance Transport Van Program and the Picasso Veterinary Fund. We hope you'll enjoy this issue. As always, we welcome your comments at info@AnimalAllianceNYC.org.
