A man holding a dog walks on a street in Kesennuma city after a tsunami devastated a swath of northeast Japan.

While there is no official news on the status of Cat Island (Tashiro Island), where hundreds of cats live among elderly humans, it is thought that the island was not swept away in the tsunami.
But Nohl Rosen posted in Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support — "I have a friend in Japan who reached others who knew about Tashirojima. People and cats are said to be okay, but the island sustained much building damage. They need bare necessities for humans and cat food.”

A coalition of three groups — HEART-Tokushima, Animal Garden Niigata, and Japan Cat Network — has united to provide shelter, rescue, and an exchange of information for animals of Japan’s earthquake and tsunami.
On this link, there are various emails & contact numbers. You can also donate money to help out rescued animals. They need volunteers.
