All,

I wanted to verify the information on Continental's free transports so I called. The number for animal transport is 800-575-3335. You have to wait through the announcement and then you will get a live person! The one I spoke with was wonderful. Continental IS providing free transport to the pets of hurricane victums. Here is what she told me:
Only offered on large jets - no small commuter planes for the animals safety.
You must have a crate. It must be the appropriate size for the animal.
The shipper must have identification from LA, MS or AL.
If the person is traveling with the pet, it must be in under the seat crate, she thought this applied to rescue flights from NO, but was not sure.
If the animal is traveling from a non-affected city (like Houston) a health certificate is required. There are lots of resources for health certs in these cities.
If the animal is traveling from an affected city (within LA, MS and AL) they will allow a hand written note from a rescue organization stating that the animal is healthy enough to travel.
Unfortunately the airport in Biloxi is still not open.
This service will only be available for another 3 to 5 days. They want to limit this to a couple of weeks at the most - so, time is of the essence.
Call the number above for more info if you need transport
