Rainy Season & Flood Preparedness for Animal Owners

The Department of Agriculture is urging all livestock and pet owners — especially those in low-lying or flood-prone areas — to take immediate steps to protect their animals.

Key Precautions:

Relocate animals to higher ground to avoid rising water.

• Provide well-drained, covered shelters and dry bedding to prevent illness.

• Secure escape routes for animals in case of sudden flooding.

• Keep animals clear of electrical lines and wires.

• Ensure containers and feed supplies are properly secured to prevent contamination.

REMEMBER: Failing to move animals from hazardous areas — resulting in unnecessary suffering — is considered animal cruelty and is a criminal offense under the Cayman Islands Animals Act (2024 Revision).

For livestock emergencies or to report animal cruelty:

• Main line: 947-3090

• Mobile Livestock Veterinary (emergencies): 916-2218

• Cayman Brac Livestock Veterinary line: 948-0522 / 925-5765

• Email: reportanimalcruelty@gov.ky

• Animal Welfare Mobile: 916-3051
