December is National Cat Lover’s Month!

🐱 Calling all cat lovers! Did you know that December is National Cat Lover’s Month?

We’re here to remind you that cats are JUST as vulnerable to pet suffocation as dogs. 

Though we hear many stories from dog owners, it’s important we don’t forget about our feline family members, as well. Their agility allows them to easily jump on food counters, tables, and refrigerators, where they have easier access to food bags and containers.  

Cats are also prone to hiding in enclosed and small places like bins, plastic containers, and washers and dryers. 

So, what can you do?

🐱 Don’t leave food bags on top of the fridge, in the laundry room or garage, or on countertops and shelves.

🐱 Cut up all bags and dispose of them properly.

🐱 Keep all containers tightly closed and safely out of reach of your pets.

🐱 Always close drawers and appliance lids like washers and dryers.

Cats are quick on their feet, and we have to stay on our toes!

Louie lost his life in early October when he suffocated in a pet food bag that was in a cupboard under the kitchen sink, devastating his family. He was only 7 years old. This video was filmed one week before he died.

Pet suffocation happens daily, and within minutes. Please help us prevent pet suffocation so other families don’t have to suffer this heartbreak. Share our website and social media accounts to friends, family, pet sitters, vets, rescue groups, and pet shelters. Spreading awareness is our best defense against pet suffocation. Thank you!

Happy Halloween! 🎃👻⁣

⁣Here are a few things to remember as you celebrate tonight: 

⁣⁣⁣👻 Costumes – Watch for choking, chewing, and breathing hazards if you’ll be dressing your pet up.

⁣⁣⁣🍭 Candy – Xylitol, chocolate, nuts, and raisins, are very toxic to animals, so make sure your pet can’t access any of these!

⁣⁣⁣🎃 Decorations – Festive decorations like pumpkins, gourds, fake spider webs, burning candles, glow sticks, and loud scary noise makers can also tempt or scare your pet. Always keep an eye on them! ⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣🍬 Candy Bags and Treat Bags – Cut up all bags and safely discard them. Let your kids know to do the same, and remind them to store their candy far away from your pets.

⁣⁣⁣Have a very happy and safe Halloween!
