What do I do if a major storm is headed for the island? How do I keep my pet safe?
The best way to deal with any emergency is to have a plan ahead of time and stick with it! Here are some things that you can do to be prepared for any storms heading our way:
All pet owners should have a kit for their pets, which should include:
Supply of food for 7 days in an airtight, waterproof container
Drinking water
Bowls for food and water
Vaccination records and physical description for each pet
For dogs include–leash, collar and a sturdy carrier
For cats include–litter and litter box and a sturdy carrier
It is also recommended that you:
Keep your animals with you; if you must leave an animal outside, DO NOT leave him tied up!
Place the pet emergency supply kit by the door so it is ready to go if you need to evacuate quickly
Make sure your pet has visible identification on right now!
Talk with a trusted neighbour who can care for your pets if you are away
If you are planning to take your pets with you if you need to evacuate, make sure that you have their rabies vaccination certificate. If you plan to leave the country with your pets, you must also have a health certificate issued by a veterinarian within 10 days of traveling. Keep in mind that if you plan to evacuate with your pets, you must do so early. Once emergency evacuation begins, animals are no longer able to travel on public transportation because the space is reserved for two-legged types.
Remember – be prepared in advance so that you and all your loved ones will be safe!

What should you do if you find feral kittens?
If you find feral kittens, first look for the Mother Cat! Take a step back and check if the mother cat is around. Chances are she is hiding, so stay back and watch the kittens from a distance. If the mother cat appears, contact Saga at 226-3266 or 630-4303 for information and assistance on trapping the feral cat family.
This will be a great help because mother cat is fully equipped to take care of these babies and also because we will be able to spay the mother cat.
