A care log for a Havana Brown with a sitter in charge should cover meals, water and litter duties, plus the social contact this people-focused breed expects each day, favorite lap and perch spots, and owner and vet contacts. Havana Browns often follow their person from room to room, so tell the sitter to expect…
A care log for a Domestic Shorthair with a sitter in charge should cover feeding amounts and times, water refills, litter box scooping, play sessions, hiding and resting spots, and owner and vet contact details. Because Domestic Shorthairs vary so widely in size and habit, write down this cat's own quirks rather than…
A care log for a Devon Rex while a sitter is in charge should include feeding times and amounts as you normally serve them, litter checks, water top-ups, play and company notes, and a line for anything unusual the sitter notices, such as scratching, sneezing, or a missed meal. It should also record warmth, because a…
When a Turkish Angora goes to a new vet, hand over her vaccination history, past examination and illness notes, any test results, the name of her current food, and a recent photograph showing her long silky coat and eye colour.

When a Domestic Shorthair goes to a new vet, hand over her vaccination history, past examination and illness notes, any test results, the name of her current food, and a recent photograph with a plain written description of her colour, markings, and size.

When a Devon Rex goes to a new vet, hand over her vaccination history, past examination and illness notes, any skin and ear records, the name of her current food, and a short note explaining her naturally fine, wavy coat and her love of warm resting places. That coat note matters, because a clinician meeting a Devon…
After moving house with a Turkish Van, update the microchip registry, the veterinary record, the collar tag, and any insurance or boarding file that still carries the old address.

After moving house with a Turkish Angora, update the microchip registry, the veterinary file, the collar tag, and any insurance or boarding record that still lists the old address.

After moving house with a Selkirk Rex, update the microchip registry, the veterinary record, the collar tag, and any insurance or boarding file still showing the old address. A Selkirk Rex has a distinctive curly coat that changes as it matures, so also refresh the photograph and coat description on file, because a…
After moving house with a Norwegian Forest Cat, update the microchip registry, the veterinary file, the collar tag, and any insurance or boarding record that still shows the old address.

After moving house with a Havana Brown, update the microchip registry, the veterinary record, the collar tag, and any insurance or boarding file that still lists the old address.

After moving house with a Devon Rex, update the microchip registry, the veterinary record, the identification tag, and any boarding or insurance file that still lists the old address, because a finder or clinic will use whatever contact details are on file first.

After a move, update your Cornish Rex's microchip registration with the new address and phone number first, then his vet records — either transferring his file to a new clinic or confirming the old one has the new details. Refresh his emergency contact plan, his ID information, any boarding or sitter paperwork, and…
A Turkish Van emergency plan should list you first, then a strong, key-holding backup who can lift and carry him safely, a housing contact, his regular vet and the out-of-hours clinic with full addresses. Add his microchip number, photos showing his coloured head and tail markings, and notes on his strength, his love…
A Turkish Angora emergency plan needs your contact details, a key-holding backup, a housing contact, her regular vet and the out-of-hours clinic, and her microchip number. Add clear photos of her white silky coat and eye colour, plus a note that white Angoras may not hear a stranger calling, so a finder should…
A Selkirk Rex emergency plan should name you, a key-holding backup, and a housing contact in call order, with her regular vet and the out-of-hours clinic written out in full. Add her microchip number and photos that show her plush, curly coat clearly, since a shorn or wet Selkirk looks like a different cat. Note her…
A Norwegian Forest Cat emergency plan needs your contacts, a physically capable key-holding backup, a housing contact, his regular vet and the out-of-hours clinic, plus his microchip number and clear photos of his heavy double coat and profile. Size is the detail people underestimate: state his weight, that he needs a…
A Havana Brown emergency plan should list you, a key-holding backup, and a person who can house her, then her regular vet and the out-of-hours clinic with full addresses and her microchip number. Because Havana Browns are rare, add clear photos of her chocolate coat and green eyes and note that she bonds hard to her…
For a Domestic Shorthair, the plan needs your contacts, a key-holding neighbour or friend, a second person who can house him, and both his regular vet and the out-of-hours clinic with addresses. Describe him carefully — most Domestic Shorthairs share common coat colours, so include clear photos, his microchip number,…
A Devon Rex plan should name you, a key-holding backup, and a second person who can house her, followed by her regular vet and the out-of-hours clinic with full addresses. Because a Devon is an agile, door-testing climber, spell out how she is contained — which room, which doors stay shut — and where her carrier and…
A Cornish Rex emergency plan needs your own contact details first, then a named backup person who can actually get into your home, his regular vet and the nearest out-of-hours clinic, and feeding, litter, and warmth notes — a Rex feels the cold and will seek radiators and laps when stressed. Add how he is caught and…
Yes — a Foldex carries a round face, folded ears, and a compact, well-padded build, so slow weight gain is easy to miss by eye and worth catching on paper. Weigh her at a regular rhythm, note appetite, playfulness, litter habits, and ear condition alongside, and bring the log to vet visits so the numbers support what…
