Helping People & Animals in Japan

The tragedy in Japan forever changed the landscape of a nation, and left thousands of people without homes, and thousands of others dead or missing. When natural disasters like this arise, it's not just the people who need to be rescued, it's the country's displaced animals as well. They're helpless, alone, and often injured. There are multiple organizations in Japan working to care for the animals in need, so please support these groups and give what you can!

Below are a couple of organizations where you can donate directly:

Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue & Support - A group comprised of three No Kill organizations - the Japan Cat Network, HEART-Tokushima and Animal Friends Niigata. Click here for their Chip In. This group promises that all efforts related to earthquake/tsunami relief will be "staunchly No Kill", as are the organizations themselves.

World Vets - A group providing international vet care for animals. They are working with the above group to deploy a team to care for the injured animals.
