| What is the "CART"? |
|
| The County Animal Response Team (CART) is a local group of people like you working together to protect our animals. |
|
| The CART is part of the State Animal Response Team (SART). |
|
| The SART is a Public-Private partnership of over 40 organizations and 2000 people across North Carolina. |
|
| SART was founded in North Carolina after Hurricane Floyd, during which more than 3 million domestic and farm animals were lost. Many could have been saved by a coordinated emergency response plan. |
|
| Our structure is organized on the grassroots level with County Animal Response Teams (CART). CART is under the jurisdiction of the county Emergency Management, and include Animal Control Officers, Cooperative Extension, Sheriff's Personnel, Veterinarians, Forestry Officers, Animal Industry leaders and concerned citizens. |

| Protect Your Animals! |
|
- Keep a "Pet Emergency Kit" ready. Your kit should include two weeks worth of medication, along with your pet’s medical and vaccination records, leash, collar and identification, water, food, toys and bedding.
- Make sure your pet has a form of permanent identification like a microchip.
- Purchase a pet carrier and label it with emergency contact information.
- Store water and feed for emergencies. Planning resources for large animals and farmers are available at www.ncsart.org.
