Here is some info I just recieved in an email from the ASPCA
As of mid-day Saturday, September 24, people and animals at the main staging area at Lamar Dixon Expo Center in Gonzales, LA have weathered the worst of hurricane Rita and are ok. The area is still experiencing heavy rain and the staging area will continue to operate today with the skeleton crew on-site. Deployment of volunteers already cleared to head to Lamar-Dixon will resume soon.
A new emergency shelter in Nacogdoches, Texas is in need of trained shelter and animal care volunteer assistance. Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma volunteers, please stand by for further word on how you can help.
Volunteers who wish to provide temporary foster care for Texas evacuees can register with Petfinder at http://disaster.petfinder.com/emergency/foster/index.cgi or you may call the Foster Hotline at 1-800-485-5152.
