for providing this emergency info.
The cats in this document are samples, but obviously you would substitute
the names and info for your own animals for your own document.
The important thing is the type of information provided.

IN THE EVENT OF EITHER A FIRE, MAN-MADE OR NATURAL DISASTER,
THIS DOCUMENT SHALL ACT AS THE EXPRESSED WISHES OF BOTH CLAIR
AND DOMINICK.

CLAIR HAS CURRENT POSSESSION OF THE CATS NAMED ABOVE AT ( ). IN
THE EVENT OF A DISASTER CLAIR MAY BE PULLED AWAY AS A DISASTER
WORKER. IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN, THEN KATHY WILL TAKE CUSTODY
OF THE CATS AND ENSURE THEIR SAFETY.

KATHY HAS ALL THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE CATS MEDICAL NEEDS. KATHY
ALSO HAS PERMISSION TO TRANSPORT THE CATS TO A SAFE PLACE
WHETHER IN OR OUT OF TOWN.

HOWEVER, IF KATHY IS UNAVAILABLE TO TAKE CUSTODY OF THE CATS,
THEY ARE TO BE TAKEN TO THE THIRD CONTACT OF LOIRE LOCATED ( ).
LORIE IS ALSO AWARE OF THE CATS NEEDS.

IF BY CHANCE LORIE IS UNAVAILABLE, PLEASE CALL DOMINICK. DOMINICK
TRAVELS A LOT FOR WORK. IF DOMINICK IS AT THE SECONDARY RESIDENCE
OF ( ), THE CATS MAY BE TRANSPORTED TO THAT RESIDENCE.

WARNING: IF DOMINICK IS NOT AT THE RESIDENCE DO NOT TRANSPORT
THE CATS TO THE SECONDARY RESIDENCE. THE OTHER CAT IN THE
HOUSE DOES NOT GET ALONG WITH OTHER ANIMALS.

IF NONE OF THE PROXY’S ARE AVAILABLE, AND THE ANIMALS HAVE TO
BE SHELTERED, IT IS THE OWNERS REQUEST THAT THEY ARE SHELTERED
AT A C.A.R.T LOCATION IF THEY ARE AVAILABLE, OR AN ANIMAL SHELTER.
OUR REQUEST IS THAT BOTH OWNERS ARE NOTIFIED TO THE LOCATIONS
OF THE CATS.

IN THE EVENT OF A MEDICAL EMERGENCY WITH EITHER ONE OF THE
CATS, THEY ARE TO BE TRANSPORTED TOGETHER. BOTH BABY AND
PUNKY WILL STOP EATING AND DRINKING FLUIDS UNTIL REUNITED
WITH THE OTHER. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST.
