Cat heat-safety graphic
A mobile-first visual rebuilt after veterinary-source review. It highlights warning signs, immediate cooling steps and when to seek emergency care.
Use this as a quick reminder—not a diagnosis.
Heatstroke can be life-threatening. If a cat is panting, drooling, weak, confused, collapsing or otherwise showing concerning heat-related signs, move them to a cooler place and contact a veterinarian or emergency clinic immediately.
Medical boundary: Individual risk and treatment belong with a veterinarian. Do not delay professional care while trying to manage a suspected emergency at home.
