As has been widely reported by the media the treatment of abandoned pets in the aftermath of Katrina was simply horrible. If you want to give you cat a fighting chance in the event of a natural disaster like a fire, tornado, earthquake, flood, wildfire or hurricane plan ahead. Even if you plan to stay in your own home, you need to be prepared because you may have to leave it.
Do you have a carrier on hand? Is it large enough for your cat to stay in for a few days, if necessary? Do you have food, water, medicines and all the cats required paperwork ready to take with you? Do not forget your own! Shots need to be up to date, in case boarding is necessary. Preplanning and being prepared can save both you and your beloved pet. Make sure you have a harness and leash with their tags, so that they can get out of the carrier and be exercised. Saving your pet is your responsibility and leaving them to fend for themselves is mean, abusive and unacceptable!
