It’s great to see companies doing good things – even better when those companies are Waterfall Mobile clients.
Our clients’ uShip and PETA have come together for the “9 Lives Drive.” uShip’s Help on Wheels – its charitable delivery vehicle – is offering free transport of some of Louisiana’s oil spill victims to PETA’s headquarters. That’s about 1,100 miles.
Despite the capped oil spill, Louisiana’s animal shelters continue to overflow as families can’t afford to support their pets as they experience significant loss of income (or need to move out of town completely). PETA is stepping in to rescue some of these pets, and uShip’s Help on Wheels vehicle is transporting them.
uShip will deliver 20 special needs cats from Denham Springs, La., to PETA’s headquarters in Norfolk, Va., where the cats have a better chance of finding permanent homes. Help on Wheels is providing the service free of charge as part of its ongoing charitable delivery efforts
uShip picked up the cats on Tuesday, August 10th and arrived at PETA’s headquarters on Wednesday, August 11th after the 18-hour drive / cat-herding effort. All of these very special cats arrived safely.
