Find out what happens when a gerbil finds himself abandoned in his house during one of the worst natural disasters to hit the United States in The Adventures of Fillmore the Gerbil! 

When the rain and the wind came, the gerbil ran around the cage, sniffed the air and checked his store of food.  This gerbil was lucky because he had a good supply of food that lasted 18 days until the animal rescuers came. 

They named him Fillmore after the street he was found on in New Orleans and his adventures are just getting started.  Join Fillmore as he travels across the country and finally finds a new home!
