Sadly, this beautiful kitten suffocated in an IRIS USA Dog Food Storage Container in July. Ace was only 7 months old. Jess Hoyt writes, “My 19 year old son, Jordan, and his girlfriend, Valentina, just lost their kitten this way …they will definitely have PTSD from this. This is beyond traumatizing. No words.”
Prevent Pet Suffocation has received several reports from pet owners who have lost their cats to suffocation in plastic bins for food or cat litter. In alliance with Prevent Pet Suffocation, Center for Pet Safety examined 5 styles of containers marketed for pet food storage (these containers can also be used to store pet litter). The report details the container style that can significantly reduce the chance of container-related suffocation events.

Cats love to get into tight enclosed places. We remind everyone to keep all containers, appliance doors, pantry doors, and closet doors tightly closed. Keep food bags and containers off high shelves and appliances that cats can easily reach by jumping. Please share in memory of sweet Ace. Thank you.
