July is the #1 month for missing pets in America

Fireworks can cause panic. Summer travel disrupts routines. Warm weather means more people coming and going. All of these situations create more moments where indoor cats can get out or go missing. 40% of all pet losses happen in July alone.

Equip your indoor cat with an orange collar labeled with your contact information so they’re identifiable if they get outside.
