Cat care tips for Newcastle

Keeping your cat comfortable through Newcastle's coastal climate

Coastal wind and screen checks

Newcastle's beachside suburbs can experience strong coastal winds that rattle screens and louvres. Check all window screens are securely fitted before a booking and brief your sitter on any windows that tend to loosen.

Summer heat management

Newcastle summers can be hot and humid. Ensure sitters keep rooms ventilated, provide fresh cool water in multiple spots, and know how to spot early signs of feline heat stress.

Routine consistency

Newcastle cats — particularly indoor-only cats in terrace houses — are highly routine-dependent. Share your cat's exact feeding schedule, play activities, and any quirks with your sitter to minimise disruption.

Storm and electrical storm awareness

The Hunter region can experience strong summer storms. Brief your sitter on your cat's response to thunder and lightning, and ensure hiding spots are accessible and safe.
