In the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Kinship Circle united with Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF/Mobile, AL) under the banner Grassroots Effort for Animals of the Storm, mobilizing volunteers and supplies to almost 80 relief missions across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Texas.

We were among the founding coordinators of Animal Rescue New Orleans (ARNO) — for which KC’s Brenda Shoss served as food/water assignments director, working with ground director Cadi Schiffer to cover 650 sq. miles with 2,800 food/water stations across Orleans, Plaquemines and St. Bernard Parishes.
