Hurricane Katrina

The Canadian Animal Assistance Team (CAAT) is a group of Veterinary Technologists and Veterinarians dedicated to providing veterinary medicine and humane education for needy animals worldwide. CAAT is a registered charity under the Canadian Income Tax Act.

Founded by Vancouver Registered Animal Health Technologist Donna Lasser in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, CAAT sent 82 Veterinarians and Technologists to Louisiana in September and October, 2005. While in Louisiana, CAAT members aided in the rescue, medical and husbandry needs of thousands of animals displaced by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Now, CAAT is developing its volunteer base and the organizational infrastructure necessary to be able to respond rapidly to future catastrophic disasters and other worthy relief and humane education projects around the world.
