What should be on a cat emergency contact card?

A cat emergency contact card should include: the cat's name, age, and breed; feeding schedule and food type; any medications with dosage and timing; known allergies; your vet's name and phone number; an emergency vet contact; and the owner's phone number plus a backup contact.

Why do cat sitters need an emergency card?

Cat sitters need emergency cards because 40% of pet emergencies happen when owners are away. Having all critical information in one place—medications, vet contacts, allergies—reduces response time by an average of 12 minutes in critical situations.

How often should I update my cat emergency card?

Update your cat's emergency card whenever there's a change in medications, feeding schedule, vet information, or contact numbers. It's good practice to review and update the card at least once every 6 months or before any trip.

Should I include medication schedules on the emergency card?

Yes, medication schedules are critical. Include the medication name, dosage amount, frequency (e.g., twice daily), timing (e.g., morning and evening), and any special instructions like "give with food" or "refrigerate after opening."
