Natural Disasters - animal charities helping out
Natural disasters seem to be coming thick and fast these days and although the media always highlight the plight of people, what happens to the animals? Who is there to help them?

And it's always worth asking yourself - how prepared are you and any animals you have for a natural disaster?
