Good news from Japan!
The video above shows Thai news update on the residents and cats of Japans famous “Cat Island.”
The small island is home to at least 100 people and many more cats, which are valued for their beauty and companionship.
There was concern that the island and its residents did not survive the disaster in Japan. Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support posted this at Facebook yesterday:
Just to give everyone an update on Tashirojima, the cat island. The people and cats are safe but short of food. A volunteer looked into transporting food by boat, but there is too much debris in the water. A helicopter is the only way. The army will probably get a helicopter ready soon so we are looking into the possibility of asking them to take cat food too.
Teaming up with another organization, Animal Friends Niigata, workers with the Japanese rescue and support team are now in Sendai, near where the earthquake was centered.
