We knew nothing of Cat Island Japan, until the tsunami hit. Of course, us kittehs and the mom went and searched the interwebs high and low (just like many others) to see if any news had of the fate of this tiny fishing island, located near the epicenter. While there is no official news, there has been buzz from other places - which gives us hope! We is sendin off lots of hard purrs to Bast fer dem furries and non furries in Japan.
Each video is apx 10 minutes long, but it shows you some great insight to the Island.
Part 2
A lot of speculation as to the fate of Cat Island, is buzzing around everywhere. World Vets are getting veterinary supplies and a first responder team ready to deploy to Japan. You can find World Vets on Facebook as well.
"I have a friend in Japan who managed to get in touch with people who knew about Tashirojima – people and cats are said to be okay, but there was a lot of building damage and they need bare necessities for humans and cat food… The Japanese organizations said they couldn’t help at the moment (my friend was very frustrated) and he’s checking for some other foreign organisations which maybe could help. He also found out that a Japanese defence forces’ helicopter landed there this afternoon. So that’s hopeful. Lots of volunteers are going to be needed there to help rebuild the island."
Just to give everyone an update on Tashirojima, the cat island. The people and cats are safe but short of food. A volunteer looked into transporting food by boat, but the is too much debris in the water. A helicopter is the only way. The army will probably get a helicopter ready soon so we are looking into the possibility of asking them to take cat food too.

Purrs Georgia & Tillie
We are purring our best fer all of them...
They are fine only the island is lower than normal about 30cm.
But all of them are good and didn't attack by tsunami.
It's really miracle,
because they are very very close to the quake center, but they are alright so far.
We will keep them in our prayers.
