In the days following Hurricane Ida, the Louisiana SPCA has picked up a number of stray animals. Anytime an animal comes into our shelter as a stray we hold that animal for the legally required stray holding period.  In Orleans Parish it is 3 days (exactly 72 hours) and in Plaquemines Parish it is 5 days (120 hours) in order to give that animal a chance to be reunited with their family. We understand that many people evacuated for Hurricane Ida and if they left their pet behind with a neighbor checking on their pet they may not know that they got out.
