The nonprofit Exotic Cat Refuge & Wildlife Orphanage near Kirbyville is in dire straits. The refuge is a retirement home for exotic, wild, or endangered animals that have been abused, abandoned or neglected. They do not breed, sell or trade. Monique Woodard took in nearly 100 domestic cats that were rescued in New Orleans, following Hurricane Katrina. Now she and her two daughters are caring for those animals and 25 exotic cats that live at the compound -- including lions, tigers and leopards. Woodard says she's running out of food for the animals. She can't make repairs or get supplies until fallen trees are cleared away, and she has no way to do that.

According to From Janice Blue from In Solidarity with Animals: they need a large generator (as soon as possible) to run their water wells and seven freezers. They have lost 2,000 pounds of meat. Winds knocked down trees so they need heavy equipment to lift cages, etc...and it is difficult to even get to their refuge...and their truck was crushed so they can't leave, and even need food supplies for themselves.
