The Red Cross is great. Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) are taking funds for helping animals harmed and displaced during the storm. I'm sure you can text them funds also. Thank you for helping others while solving your problem. Win-Win
