Cat care tips for Birmingham

Keep your cat comfortable in Birmingham's warm Alabama climate

Hot, humid Alabama summers

Birmingham summers are hot and intensely humid, with temperatures regularly above 90°F and heat indices making it feel significantly hotter. Air conditioning must run continuously. Ask your sitter to verify indoor temperatures and ensure fresh water is available at every visit from May through September.

Hydration in the Alabama heat

Birmingham's summer heat accelerates dehydration rapidly. A water fountain is essential year-round, and wet food should be a dietary staple. Ask your sitter to monitor litter box output as a key hydration indicator during any warm-weather booking.

Tornado season awareness

Alabama has one of the most active tornado seasons in the country, with peak risk in April and November. Ensure your sitter knows the safest interior room in your home, has your full emergency contact list, and understands your cat's stress behavior during severe weather.

Year-round flea prevention

Birmingham's warm climate means fleas are active most of the year. Ensure your cat is on a current prevention program before any booking and confirm your sitter's home is also appropriately treated for parasites.
