I was recalling that after Katrina people had to locate their pets. I wrote my address on harnesses in permanent marker and I put harnesses on my cats. I am not on Facebook but I would like to ask someone who is if they would pass this suggestion on to Facebook. It might help avoid a lost pet. If we have to evacuate having a leash and harness on them will be helpful.

great advice; I don't know about any other areas but here there were several shelters that were pet friendly so that was good. I was lucky and didn't have to leave my house for the past two hurricanes and this one I only lost power for a few seconds so my animals were with me but I feel for the ones who can't. I also know that it isn't that much to have chips put under thier skin and it helps so much
