Cats Need Transport Through Wv

[Fierce Critter]

I know we have some non-Michiganders on this board, though I'm not sure of anyone in or near WV. But I got this via my Yahoo groups, and thought I'd pass it on.

Hi all -- this is a forwared post from the Yahoo Beadchat group about 2 Persian cats who need transporting. Thought that maybe someone in the area might be able to assist or suggest who might assist.

>Two Persians need to get to rescue and then to caring adoptive homes ASAP. We also are trying to arrange to get three other very high risk Persians from Morgan County Animal shelter in WV to join this transport. There may also be 1 additional Persian or Siamese/mix coming from Baltimore animal control or foster in MD . It looks like the logistics are falling into place and we can take all 6 of these cats at this point if we can fill this transport!
