Subject: Aid for Windermere Apartment Fire Victims and their Pets -
City Kitties Fund
Hi folks -
I wanted to let you know that we at City Kitties have set up a fund
to help fire victims and the pets who survived/need support. We
are collecting donations which we will use to buy supplies for those
who were able to get their pets out, but need new supplies, follow-
up vet care, etc. IF YOU KNOW ANYONE THAT LIVED IN WINDERMERE
AND NEEDS ASSISTANCE PLEASE FORWARD THEM TO OUR WEBSITE, so that we
can get the support to them.

Aid for Windermere Apartment Fire Victims
by Lou on January 11, 2011
in Emergency,News
As you may know, the Windermere Apartment complex on the corner of
48th and Walnut Streets experienced a devastating fire yesterday,
leaving more than 100 people homeless. Many of the residents had
pets, including many cats. So far, City Kitties has learned of 3 or
4 cats who have been pulled from the building alive, even after the
fire burned for more than 12 hours. Some residents were also able
to get their cats out of the building as they were being evacuated.
The PSPCA is temporarily housing animals that have no other place to
go, and VHUP has offered free emergency veterinary care.
However, the fire victims may need more assistance in the form of
funds for boarding, pet sitting, follow-up veterinary care, food,
litter, carriers, and other basic needs. City Kitties would like to
help Windermere residents with surviving cats. If you were a victim
of the fire and in are in need of the above resources, please
contact us at info (at) citykitties (dot) org or by filling out the
form at the bottom of this page. We will respond as quickly as
possible. We will ask you for some basic verification that you lived
at Windermere, with the understanding that many residents literally
lost everything. We will not be able to write checks directly to
victims, but will be able to purchase supplies for you, reimburse
expenses, or pay vendors directly (veterinarians, boarding
facilities, etc) up to a specific amount.
If you would like to donate to the City Kitties Emergency Fund,
please do so using the Paypal button below. If all of the
designated funds are not used for Windermere Apartment victims, we
will set aside those funds for future pet/animal-related emergencies
in the West Philadelphia area.
