Hello, pet people! I’m writing a guide for pet sitters on summer safety for cats. I’d love to hear from a practicing veterinarian. Thank you for considering! Questions for veterinarians: 1. What protocol should cat sitters follow if a cat shows signs of heat stroke? How urgent is it to get the cat to the vet? Is there anything sitters should do while on the way to the vet? 2. Which cats are most at risk for heat stroke? 3. What are some safety tips for pet sitters transporting cats in a car during warmer months? 4. How can pet sitters keep indoor cats cool in the summer? What about cats who go outdoors?
