Animal Rescue Group's Van Stolen

, an animal rescue group with offices and a shelter in Avondale Estates, reports their cat transport van was stolen Saturday night in East Point.

Here's a message posted on the group's Facebook page:

Note to the thieves: not only did you steal a very vital part of our organization that we use to transport sick, abused and rescued pets, but you also stole a week's worth of wet and dry cat food and kitty litter for LifeLine's no-kill Kitty Motel.

You stole blankets and bowls and dog treats that belonged to animals in need. That van was practically a satellite office for LifeLine.

For people who want to help in any way or help us replace cat food, litter, blankets, etc. please contact: mblair@lifelineanimal.org Thank you, LifeLiners!

LifeLine Animal Project is a nonprofit that works with animal control, shelters, and rescue groups. The group was founded in 2002 to promote the adoption of homeless pets.
