A girl and her kitten Raggedy have a happy life until the horror of Hurricane Katrina’s flooding separates them. His people and home gone, Raggedy must quickly learn to live on his wits to survive in the strange and scary world left when the water recedes. What will happen now to this determined, courageous, lonely kitten?
Most of us can only imagine how frightened the people were when the levees broke and flooded New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina over five years ago. Even fewer of us can imagine how terrified the thousands of pets which had to be left behind were, all of them hungry, thirsty and alone. The ‘rooftop dogs’ quickly became icons of the disaster. Thousands of animal rescuers from around the country and beyond converged on the Gulf area, and went to work finding, rescuing and caring for these animals in the largest animal rescue effort ever.
“A Kitten On Desire Street” is what might be the story of one of the rescued animals. Part of this story might be what the kitten’s life before, during and after the floods was; part of it is the true story about how he was rescued and found a new forever home.
