This is a really useful TT! Thanks for the list!
Useful for cats, dogs and kids too. Excellent post!
Great list! Mommy has a similar book and the hsus.org list. I'm happy to say I have an emergency first aid kit AND and evacuation kit. Mommy sayz she'd never leave me behind.
All kitties should have a kit!
