Thanks very much, Diane, for the info. I have printed out a downloaded
copy of the animal services guide.

If I were a driver I'd keep a supply of rescue items/food, etc. on hand in
my car; but I long ago divorced my car, and I now travel everywhere on
foot and by bus; so unfortunately it's not practical to carry a
collapsible carrier, etc., with me. On the other hand, I do wear a
backpack everywhere, so perhaps I could work some rescue items into the
confines of the pack--this has the makings of a good project for some
creative thought...

Thanks again,
Best regards,

Edna
