Cat care tips for Akron

Keep your cat comfortable through Akron's Northeast Ohio seasons

Lake-effect snow and cold winters

Akron sits in the snowbelt south of Lake Erie, receiving substantial lake-effect snow from November through March. Before any winter trip, confirm your heating is serviced, stock extra food and litter in case roads close, and share your HVAC emergency contact with your sitter.

Cold drafts in older homes

Many of Akron's beloved Craftsman and Victorian homes in Highland Square, Wallhaven, and Merriman Hills have older windows and insulation. Walk through your home before any winter trip to identify cold spots and ensure your cat's sleeping areas are away from drafty exterior walls.

Winter dry-air hydration

Akron's long heating season from November through April creates persistently dry indoor air. A water fountain combats dry-air dehydration effectively and is a valuable year-round investment for Akron cats during the extended indoor heating months.

Pleasant summers in the Cuyahoga Valley

Akron summers are warm and pleasant, with access to Cuyahoga Valley National Park just to the north offering some of the finest nature in Ohio. If your cat enjoys open windows during summer, check all screens before travel to ensure they are secure.
