What if my cat was sprayed with rubbing alcohol? Is she safe?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 21 days old | 2 lbs

I have been spraying my house with a 50/50 rubbing alcohol and water mixture. I accidentally sprayed this on my cat. Will she be ok?

Hi! Callie should be okay but I’d recommend giving her a bath in warm water using a mild soap (or ideally a pet shampoo). Make sure it all washes off well and she dries out. Hope that helps and thanks for using Pet Coach!
