The Carr Fire Pet Rescue & Reunification organization’s mission is to reunite pets and owners separated during the Carr Fire. Image source: Carr Fire Pet Rescue & Unification Facebook page.
If you live in the Redding area you may have noticed a few bright red tents that have popped up in a few locations. These were created by volunteers from the Carr Fire Pet Rescue & Reunification, an organization that seeks to reunite lost pets with their owners who’ve become separated during the Carr Fire.
The kiosks contain rows and rows of photographs and descriptions of lost and found pets, as well as pets that were reported as sighted, including information about the geographical locations. The idea is to bring together owners and their animals, many of which ran for safety during the Carr Fire. Cats, in particular, seemed difficult to capture for evacuation during the Carr Fire.
Inside the tents are bins for donated food and kitty litter. The all-volunteer Pet Rescue & Reunification team will provide one-on-one assistance with animal rescues.
If you lost a pet during the Carr Fire, there’s still hope that you might find your pet by either looking at the photos I have here, or by visiting the kiosks to see if you can identify your pet among the photos.
If your pet is still missing, it’s important to report it to the Carr Fire Pet Rescue & Reunification organization so they can notify you of possible pet matches.
There are two tent kiosks. One is located at the intersection of Benton and Quartz Hill Road. The other is on Highway 299 near the former Old Mill House Deli location by Lower Springs Road. Both kiosks have the same photos. However, it’s a good idea to check both because some people do post their own photos.
Pet foster care is also needed for found pets still waiting for their owners to find them. Other ways to help include making donations to spay and neuter the found cats, by calling 530-244-2287 and ask to donate to Feline PAWS Rescue of the North State Carr Fire Fund.
