Be an Angel for Stray Animals
When you see stray or injured cats or dogs on the street, please don’t pass them by—they need your help! Be prepared for animal emergencies by keeping a road-rescue kit in your car, including pull-tab cans of cat and dog food, a leash, a bandage for a muzzle (injured animals may try to bite out of fright), a collapsible cardboard cat carrier, and a towel or blanket. If you are unable to coax the animal to you, take down the exact location (including the street and cross street and any nearby landmarks) and a description of the animal and call animal control as soon as possible.
