Jesusita Fire:

ASAP's Response to the Jesusita Fire

ASAP provided a safe haven for approximately 220 cats during the Jesusita Fire. With no formal disaster planning, this remarkable effort demonstrates the strength and dedication of our organization in ways that we sometimes forget. There was no hesitation and everyone showed up for the task to the best of their ability...many of our volunteers directly affected by the fire were still there working to help others. Members of our network came with supplies for the cats and food for our volunteers. Our calls for assistance and supplies were heard throughout our community and donations poured in.

We cannot fully express our overwhelming gratitude to everyone who has assisted in this effort. We are incredibly proud of ASAP and of each and every volunteer and member of our community who assisted in providing safe comfort not only for the evacuated cats, but their owners as well.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Angela Rockwell ASAP President
