Help reunite lost lava cats

We, on the west side of the island, are so blessed yet we complain about the vog and the lack of a new road in a timely manor. It is overwhelming to think of what the people of Puna are going through. And please, save me your platitudes about they “chose to live there, they wanted cheap land,” etc.

These people have lost everything: homes, businesses, pets, livelihoods.

Two cats were rescued from the Keaau Humane Society. They are now at my house waiting to be reunited with their family or blessed by a new family. Both are microchipped. They came from Arnold, Maryland, in April 2013 to Leilani Estates with their owner Christine “Chrissie” Parks Deremer.

Unfortunately, a current phone number is not available for Chrissie and despite flyers and numerous phone calls to animal rescue groups, we have been unable to find Chrissie.

Please, if anybody knows the whereabouts of this family could you contact me at (808) 936 5387 ? These 9-year-old, well-loved cats, Sherbet and Twilight, would be so grateful for any help you may provide.
