Why YSK: There are a lot of people these days living alone with pets and if anything happened to the owner, others may not know to attend to the pet. If something happened to you, a coma, an accident, death, etc, your wallet would be the first place anyone would look for info about you and it would probably be the fastest way to bring attention to your small loved ones.
I’m impressed by the idea that people can still afford to live alone.
They also make windows tickers that say “in case of emergency we have xyz pets”. Good to stick one next to the front door.
Yeah – if there’s a fire or some other kind of emergency at your house/apartment and you’re not there, that kind of sticker is really important.
This seems like a good idea for all pet owners. My family and friends would think of my pets eventually, but it might not be the first thing on their minds.
But then you don’t really live alone if you have a pet. Checkmate!
Actually a good idea. Lol
Oh trust me, everyone that knows me is well aware I have a cat. Whether they wanted to know or not.
I don’t know why this never occurred to me. I’m adding one now.

This assumes you have no friends or family. OP, are you ok?

in fairness, my family lives 6 states away, and my friends would still take a few days before anyone noticed something was up.

exactly what I thought. If you get incapacitated in one way or another... someone has to notice that there's a pet. Just... someone

This is the point of an emergency contact, is it not? Hopefully you choose one who knows enough about you to know whether or not you have pets.

Thanks, I’m okay.
