Water rises. Families flee. This tabby survived West Virginia's floodwaters, separated from his original home. Now he waits behind shelter glass, hoping a new family will recognize him as theirs—one of thousands of pets saved by rescue workers who refused to leave animals behind.
When floods swept through West Virginia in 2003, this cat lost his home. FEMA's rescue teams worked with animal shelters to find displaced pets and reunite them with families—or, like this cat, help them find new loving homes.
