My home was destroyed in the May 19th tornado. Of all the things I lost my cat, Toby and my daughter's dog, Sophie were the only things I cared about. I knew Toby and Sophie survived they had been seen repeatedly. Sophie was adopted by a first responder and his family because I had no place to keep her. The days, weeks, and months went by with sightings and almost catchings of my beloved little black Toby cat, who had shown up at my house in October of 2012 emaciated,cold, and very feral. I finally earned his trust after almost a week of him hiding under my bed only coming out at night when I was asleep. Toby trusted me and only me. If someone knocked on my door he hid, if someone opened the door he hid, but if I went outside he would go window to windows crying until he could see me. He was my baby! We searched high and low after the tornado but he was just too scared and was having too much fun (he was unaltered). When I met becca and ash I told them about Toby and they started setting live traps to catch him and worked day and night on finding my cat and many other animals that were displaced by the tornado. I had started to lose hope that my sweet boy would ever come home. Nearly 3 months after the tornado on August 18 I got a phone call that Toby had been caught! I raced home, locked the trap and I in a small room in my new home talked to him,cried, and apologized for leaving him at home that awful day in May! He just loved on me purring and relaxing into the place he belonged, in my arms and fell asleep. I am forever indebted to No Kill Rapid Emergency Response. They never gave up hope that they would catch him and get him home to his mommy who missed him fiercely! I can never repay them for their hard work and the amazing gift of getting my baby boy back where he belongs!

I have seen these people work night and day for all the animals in their care. They are the hardest working and most caring people I've ever met!

I have seen these 2 wonderful people in action since the May 19th tornado hit my state of Oklahoma. No animal is turned away and they care for these animals better than most dog and cats owners Iv'e ever seen. I am adopting a puppy from then and couldn't be happier to help them out. JUST WONDERFUL!
