Many of these people were not at home when the evacuation started. Some of them were home but the pets were frightened and hiding and there was absolutely NO TIME to look for them or to grab papers or photos or anything else, it was done at a dead run for the car.

I know my cats would have gone with me in their carriers and if a shelter got stuffy about it, I'd be happy to sleep in my car with them if I'd had any warning. These folks had no warning.
