Tips to keep your cat safe

A prevention plan that’ll keep your cat safe

The best way to ensure you don’t lose your cat is to take some simple measures to prevent it from happening.

Create a cat run – If you live in a busy area, consider creating an indoor or secure outdoor cat run (see www.catmax.com.au) to keep them amused.
Get a collar and tag – If your cat will wear a collar, this is the easiest way to ensure your neighbours will return your cat to you. People will know your cat has an owner who’s looking out for it and can use the contact details on the tag rather than call the local council or vet.
Get them microchipped – This is the best way to ensure you and your cat will be reunited if they get lost and lose their collar and tag. If they’re taken to a pound or vet, they can be identified immediately as your cat.
Get them desexed – Desexing can help reduce the behaviours that can lead to cats becoming displaced, such as fighting and straying. Generally, a desexed cat has a smaller territory, keeping them closer to your home.
Get a GPS tracker - A GPS tracker such as the Apple Airtag can be easily fastened to their collar, ensuring that you’re aware of their whereabouts at all times.
