Check Before you Drive to Save a Life!

If you are unable to park your car in a garage, try to get in the habit of doing a quick check for unwanted passengers before you start your car. A quick bang on the hood, or a beep of your horn might be enough to get the little hitchhiker away.

Look under your car & tires
Open up the hood!
Give them some time

Starting the car without checking could severely injure or cause death to the cats.

Don't Leave Your Pet in a Parked Car

As temperatures start to rise, remember to never leave your pet in a parked vehicle! On a warm day, the temperature in a car can exceed 120 degrees in minutes!
