"HELP! I have Pets At Home” Pet Alert Card

It’s certainly not something we wish for you, but have you ever thought “What would happen to my pets if I was in a terrible accident?” “What if I died and no one knows my pet is home alone, possibly days on end? Who’s going to feed and take care of them?” With this card, we hope you can avoid such a situation. Write the name and phone number of a trusted family member or friend (designated caretaker) and place this card in your wallet. The police or emergency personnel who will look through your wallet for identification will also find this card. They can call your designated caretaker so your pets can be cared for immediately. This card was inspired and created after the 3.11 Japanese Earthquake/Tsunami disaster, after which many pets starved to death after being left by their owners because they were told by the government that they could not take their pets when evacuating (understandably, many owners hesitated to leave them but they were told that they would be able to return home soon—which did not happen). We dedicate this card to all those animals who perished and people who lost their pets.
