Dear Aaaaaaa,

Whether you share your home with a cat, a dog, a rabbit, or another animal companion, your life is enriched daily by your relationship. Our animal companions depend on us for food, shelter, and affection—and their lives are in our hands the moment a natural disaster strikes.

That's why being prepared for an emergency is so critical—not only to keep you and your family safe but also to protect the animals you love from harm.

(Even if you don't share your home with any companion animals right now, you can still pledge to help animals before the next disaster strikes.)

 
Take the pledge to protect your animal companions in an emergency.
 

As the Atlantic hurricane season rapidly approaches its peak, emergency preparedness is top of mind for many of us who live in areas that could be hit by a deadly storm. But a natural disaster—from hurricanes, earthquakes, and snowstorms to mudslides, tornadoes, and wildfires—can strike at almost any time.

As a responsible guardian, it's up to you to ensure that your animal companions are cared for in an emergency. And as compassionate people who believe in the rights of all animals to live free from neglect and abuse, it's our responsibility to do all that we can to help other animals threatened by disaster as well.

Thank you, as always, for your support and for your unrelenting kindness and empathy for animals.

Kind regards,

Ingrid E. Newkirk
President
