The Brandywine Valley SPCA stepped up ahead of Hurricane Ida to protect animals in the path of a deadly tropical storm, according to a report from CBS Philly.

On Saturday, the local rescue welcomed 110 cats and dogs at Chester County Airport as they arrived from rural shelters in Louisiana. Staff members then transported them to several Brandywine Valley SPCA locations.

“We’re in a unique position to have a substantial rescue impact before and after Hurricane Ida because we have staff working in Louisiana right now,” said the organization’s CEO, Adam Lamb. “We’re combining that with our close working relationships with national groups like Wings of Rescue, Petco Love, and the ASPCA to help as many animals as we can before the storm and likely after.”

All the animals that were flown in over the weekend are available for adoption. Their rescuers have waived the adoption fees for cats and dogs at all its locations through Sept. 5.
