Animal Preparedness Tips, Supply Lists, & Instructions

The most comprehensive animal preparedness materials for both pets and livestock that I've seen have been authored or gathered together by Washington State Animal Response Team (WASART) at http://www.washingtonsart.org/emergencyprep.html.

Paloalto Humane Society also offers a nice array of materials by species at paloaltohumane.org/education/disaster.php though not necessarily as comprehensive as those linked to above.

Please Spay & Neuter!

Pet overpopulation is the leading killer of cats and dogs in our country.
- 50K puppies and kittens are born every day in the US.
- An estimated 3.7 million are euthanized in shelters every year.
- US. taxpayers spend up to $2 billion annually dealing the issues surrounding unwanted, homeless animals. www.animalkind.org/

Bonus Material: 'A good cry'

Whatever your faith (if any) and however you consider the afterlife, may these bring you some measure of comfort when needed.
