The main reason I am so prepared is that a lot of what I have done is also a convenience.
I have kind of limited space, or at least like to make the best of the space I do have.

My door is right near my kitchen so keeping the meds & vitamins etc... in the tote near the door is also near the kitchen where I feed them. So it's all right there.
It's also very handy even for everyday use to have all of their supplies in one place.

I also have a small closet type thing next to my door (it is a closet but I remodeled it so it doesn't have a door) so it's a nice little cubby for storage so the carrier & tote etc... fit nicely there.
There are also stray cats in my area so keeping a carrier next to the door comes in handy when I do catch a stray.

The leashes are very handy hanging next to the door, even for everyday use.

The ferrets have a huge cage (6'x4'x2') with the top being used as a shelf. The carriers fit perfect there & they are also handy.

I bring my dogs almost everywhere with me including work so to keep extra leashes, water bowls etc... already in the vehicles is also very handy & saves time. Thats why I have the tote all made up & it comes everywhere with me.

I use the carriers for vet visits & sometimes bring the ferrets to firends houses for play dates with my friends ferrets, they always need to have food & water as their digestive tracts are very short. They are also very smart & they need special bowls that lock on their cages. Being only a few dollars each it is much easier to just buy a few extras & keep them on the carriers at all times.
