Pet Emergency Kit

asterrocSometime lately I read an article by a breeder telling the story of when there was a tornado sighting in her county. She had 30 minutes to get all her birds (plus some cats and dogs) into the storm shelter underground. Among the other things she discovered was that she didn't even have enough travel cages for them all, and was stuffing multiple birds into travel cages built for one bird.
Leaving the crock pot on all night made me wonder what I would do if I wake up to find a fire outside my bedroom. I would have to grabe Gabe in his cage, my car keys, and my cellphone. (Car keys are so I can take him somewhere he won't freeze to death.) I'm going to build an emergency kit I think. I may or may not put a bottle of water in the car again (it'll just freeze), I have some seeds near his cage maybe I want more, maybe keep his travel cage next to it even though his full cage fits in the car. *shrug* It's not as big a deal with just the one bird. Maybe a credit card, that'd be another smart thing to do, though with a car and a cellphone I can always get friends to help out, two hours away at worst. My house keys have a mini-ATM card on them, so maybe grab those too.
I needa get my landlord to replace my smoke detector. Remind me to do that, would you?
