Here are some links I've put together for people who would like to donate money or help with the animal rescue efforts in Japan:

• JEARS.org - Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support (JEARS) is a collaboration of three established and registered no kill animal rescue NPOs in Japan. You can donate money to the relief effort at this site.
• www.afniigata.org - Animal Friend of Niigata
• www.heart-tokushima.com - HEART is a registered NPO run solely on a volunteer basis and funded entirely through donations.  We are based in Tokushima, Japan and our aim is to build a community in which companion animals can live free from suffering or cruelty.
• Japancatnet.com - Japan Cat Network is a registered non-profit organization dedicated to trap, neuter and return (TNR) as a means of helping Japan's stray and abandoned cat population. We are also committed to no kill sheltering.
