Cat care tips for Ottawa

Keep your cat safe through Ottawa's extreme cold and seasonal changes

Extreme cold indoors

Ottawa is one of the coldest capitals in the world. Indoor heating can dry out air and cause skin issues in cats. A humidifier and fresh water fountain help.

Drafty heritage homes

Many Ottawa homes are older and drafty. Ensure your sitter knows where warm spots are and keeps your cat away from cold window ledges in winter.

Summer bugs

Ottawa's summer brings mosquitoes and blackflies. Indoor cats near open windows may be bothered. Ensure screens are intact before the warm season.

Government travel

Many Ottawa residents travel frequently for work. Consistent cat sitters who learn your cat's routine make repeat bookings smoother.
