Cats And Hot Cars

Although it feels more like Seattle, WA than Washington, DC, summer should be around the corner. We want to be sure that you do not leave your cat in a car unattended.  Every year there are hundreds of cats that die in hot cars.

The excuses “I’ll just be a minute” or “I have cracked the windows” will not save an overheated cat.

Cars heat up very quickly even on a cloudy summer day.  In 15 minutes, the temperature inside the car will from 70ºF (21ºC) up to 99ºF (37ºC).

Here is a chart that shows how fast and how hot things can get
