Cat care tips for Boston

Keep your cat comfortable through New England's dramatic seasons

Harsh New England winters

Boston winters bring heavy snow, ice, and bitter cold. Indoor cats need warm spots away from drafty windows and exterior walls. Ask your sitter to check heating systems and ensure there are no cold drafts near sleeping areas.

Old building heating systems

Many Boston apartments use steam heat that can vary dramatically. Radiators can get very hot while rooms stay cool. Ensure your cat cannot sleep directly on hot radiators and that your sitter monitors temperatures.

Winter indoor enrichment

Boston cats spend significant time indoors during winter. Puzzle feeders, window bird feeders, and climbing structures keep them mentally active and reduce stress during the long cold months.

Summer screen safety

Boston summers bring open windows and fresh air. Ensure all window screens are secure to prevent accidental falls, especially in upper-floor apartments in Back Bay and Beacon Hill.
