Nashville Flood Lost Cat (now reunited)
This afternoon I had a comment posted on Nashville Flood Relief for Animals about a cat that was lost and had been rescued. They were hoping to reunite the cat with its owner. I asked for pictures of the cat in hopes I could help out by posting them here. Not long after the pictures were sent the owner and the cat were together again. I thought that it may help to have a place for people who have lost their pet in the flood or those who have found pets to be able to post a picture and possible reunite them with their owner. I have setup a forum to do just that. If needed, please post any description of your lost or found animal in the comments below. If you have a picture you would like to include send it to nashveggie/gmail dot com and I will post it for you. Maybe we can get some families back together.

UPDATE: If you have lost or found a pet please visit Nashville Flood – Lost & Found Pets
The flooding of Nashville has displaced thousands of people and also thousands of animals. Many people were forced to evacuate and some were able to take their pets along but many more were not. There are also the homeless animals that are now finding no food as well as their way into already overcrowded shelters. Nashville area animal shelters are in need of items to assist in the care of the animals they have housed until their human counterparts can pick them up. If you can help please supply what you can.
Metro Animal Services is in need of blankets, cat and dog food, pet shampoo, laundry and dish detergent, towels and kitty litter. Items can be dropped of at Metro Animal Care, 5125 Harding Place.
Nashville Humane Association needs cat food, dog food, blankets, newspapers and towels. Those items can be dropped off at 213 Oceola Avenue in West Nashville. They are located behind Sprintz Furniture off of White Bridge Road.

LOST PETS:
If you have lost a pet…
• Fill out a lost report with Nashville Humane Association — check daily for found reports. Please provide:
Appearance: breed, coat type, ears, tail, age, weight, sex, color, etc.
Identification: tags, microchip, etc.
Location: where your pet lives, when and where your pet was last seen
• Contact Metro Animal Care & Control — (615) 862-7928 – 5125 Harding Pl, Nashville, TN -– Because of the differences in how owners describe colors and breeds the owner is then required to come down daily to reduce the potential for miscommunication or misidentification
• Fill out a lost report with Nashville PetFinders,LostAPet.org and Wilson County PetFinders.com websites — check found reports daily online — finders have different ideas of colors and breeds
• Contact all veterinary clinics within the area to see if the pet was brought in by a good Samaritan — check back daily
• Contact the closest evening Pet Emergency clinic to see if a good Samaritan brought the pet in for medical care — check back daily

Animal Shelters have a hold period, enabling time for the owner to make the rounds and hopefully increase awareness that a much loved pet is missed.
