Keep your cats safe if there’s actually a flood warning….
- Keep your cat carriers to hand and check you have enough food and medication to last
- Keep familiar toys dry with their smells of home on it, this will help reduce stress
- Think
about taking your cat(s) to a family member of friend who lives away
from the flood risk area until the danger has passed.
- Put
all documents such as vaccination records, your vet’s details and your
pet’s microchip number in a sealed bag with any other important
documents.
- Keep up to date with the latest information, local radio, TV or call Floodline 0845 988 1188.

If disaster strikes…
- If
at all possible, don’t leave your pets behind, even if you think that
you’ve created a safe place for them – it could be several days before
you can make it back home.
- If you have no choice but to leave your pets behind, shut them inside an upstairs room with plenty of food and water
- Leave notices outside your home to alert RSPCA or your local flood warden that there are pets inside
- Put cats into suitable carrier with a warm blanket.
- Remember to take your cat’s food, water, bowls, medication and bedding with you.
