Update: The ASPCA has helped to reunite two formerly missing cats with their guardian following a large explosion and fire in New York Citys East Village neighborhood last week. The Office of Emergency Management granted ASPCA responders access to a residential building where they searched for and located the cats.
The two cats belong to East Village resident Kathleen Blomberg, who has been displaced and is staying with a friend. The ASPCA will provide transportation and medical exams at the ASPCA Animal Hospital for Kathleens cats, Kitty Cordelia and Sebastian, and we have also offered free boarding for her cats as she secures new housing.
ASPCA responders continue to search for cats reported missing in the affected area and hope to reunite them with their guardians soon. Please consider making a donation today to support the ASPCAs ongoing rescue efforts for at-risk animals nationwide.

At the request of the Office of Emergency Management, the ASPCA is providing coordination of animal-related issues at the citys emergency reception center for pet owners in the area surrounding the site of Thursdays explosion and fire in the East Village neighborhood of New York City. Residents in the evacuation area who need to access their pets should speak to a police officer for more information.
The damage and resulting needs of residents affected by the explosion and fire are still being assessed.
