Safety Kit for your pet
Keeping a first aid kit in your home is as important for your pet as it is for the rest of your family. Please keep the following PET SAFETY items in a convenient place in your home. (And remember to always keep them out of reach of children.)
* Absorbent cotton - to help stop bleeding
* Non-stinging iodine solution (dilute with water) to cleanse wounds
* Medical tape - to use as bandage adhesive
* Gauze pads - to be used as a compress
* Sharp scissors with rounded safety tips
* Tweezers - to remove throns, splinters & ticks
* Antihistamine for insect bites
* First aid ointment
* Cotton swabs - to cleanse your pet's ears or to apply ointment
* An extra collar with tags and leash
* An extra copy of your pets medical records
* Photos of your pet (in case they get lost)
* Your veterinarian's name, address, phone number, and emergency hours.

Are you thinking about getting a cat but are unsure of where to look? A good place to find a domestic cat is at your local animal shelter. Not only will you find a loving companion, you may be saving it from an untimely death. Another good place to find a cat is in the classified section of your local newspaper.
