Host: What supplies are recommended in a pet emergency kit for cats?

Lesa Miller: Cats well, pretty much be very similar to what you will have for dogs. We will have the food and the water appropriate for the cats and the bowls there of, also litter box and litter and plastic bags for cleanup, toys and treats, a collar and ID tags for them as well and a rabies certificate or a rabies tag that is current and also, cats will travel much better, be much safer and would not be as likely to escape if they are traveling in a pet carrier. So that is highly recommended for them as well.
