Just like her first visit, she's back because of a raging wildfire. The "edu-cat" along with several other animals from the center found refuge from the Station Fire at the shelter, Humane Society officials said. Evacuated residents can house their four-legged felines, dogs to lizards, free-of-charge at the Pasadena Humane Society. About 1,000 residents in the La Canada Flintridge area have been evacuated, and many of them have no place to put their pets, said Steve McNall, president and CEO of the Humane Society. With residents forced to flee their homes, and with the possibility of hotels or relatives not taking in animals, PHS has "lots of space, water misters and food," said Hillary Gatlin, the community resource assistant. So far, 30 doves, one bobcat, a red-tailed hawk, turkey vulture, seven dogs and three cats found refuge from the smoke caused by the Station Fire. The exotic animals don't end up there, Gatlin said, adding she was surprised to see a variety of wildlife. "We transferred a horse and three alpacas to a nearby stable," she said. As of Friday afternoon, the red-tailed hawk and the bobcat got their appetites back and the 30 doves, brought in Thursday night by the Clear Creek Educational Center were fluttering around in their cages or standing on wooden logs. For families who need to find temporary shelter, PHS officials said expect a surge this weekend, and encourage people to bring blankets, food and toys to make their pets stay an enjoyable one. The shelter is at 361 S. Raymond Ave. For more information, call (626) 792-7151 -> This shelter is accepting small household pets for evacuation shelter due to the floods/mudslides/debris flows taking place in the foothills of La Canada-Flintridge, La Crescenta and unincorporated Glendale. ------------------------------------------------------------ Update provided Kinship Circle Disaster Aid Network: 361 S Raymond Ave. / Pasadena, CA 91105-2687 626-792-7151 / http://www.pasadenahumane.org/site/PageServer ON THE GROUND: Pasadena Humane Society is the primary local agency for companion animals.
