One cat was taken to a local vet clinic for treatment but should be reunited with its owner on Friday.
It could have been worse...........
I was very Happy to stumble across this piece of news on the CFCN Site:
"All-Millrise-Pets-Found-Alive"
To add the loss of a loved pet to all that has happened would be devestating I'm sure, Thank Goodness the pet owners among the displaced resisdents of the Millrise Condos don't have to add greiving a Family pet to their long list of troubles.

Really glad to hear that, I had heard from someone on site Thursday night that the cat that was taken to the vet's wasn't going to make it. I'm a resident in the building, and I've been feeling fortunate that I was there when it started and able to get our pets out. We're on the first floor in the SW corner, and we were able to go back into the unit for the first time late yesterday afternoon. Between the smoke and water damage, a lot of things are going to be ruined, but we'll be able to keep most of our valuables (although some of them will be a little smokey). The main thing that we've lost that can't be replaced is my girlfriend's pictures, mine were still mostly in storage. It's all so surreal though, walking through the hallway down to the unit was like a bad movie, slogging through water, no lights except for the one emergency light that would occasionally flash and the firefighter's dying flashlight, I wish we'd had the presence of mind to take pictures but we both forgot about our cameras after we got inside.
Sooo.... anyone have any good tips for clearing out smoke/dealing with insurance companies?
