LSU Vet school is helping collect and care for many of the abandoned Katrina animals. They are also caring for pets that were boarded in kennels in the New Orleans area. If you would like to donate funds or equipment or need to locate a boarded pet please go to Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine.
From their web site:

please call toll-free (888) 773-6489 between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm or e-mail Katrina@ldaf.louisiana.gov for information about your pet(s)."
