Guest guest Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 We are very aware of the heroic cat rescue in Shanghai, and yes we would like to help. I will also be happy this alert to our own email listings. I would like to know more about the organizations involved. Is there anyone in those rescuer groups who can speak English? If so how can we contact them directly?
