Cat care tips for Buffalo

Keep your cat safe and comfortable through Buffalo's legendary seasons

Lake-effect snow and extreme winters

Buffalo is famous for lake-effect snowstorms that can deliver 2–3 feet in under 24 hours. Before any winter trip, confirm your heating system is serviced, share your HVAC emergency contact with your sitter, and ensure an extra supply of food and litter is stocked in case roads become impassable for days.

Cold drafts in older homes

Many of Buffalo's beloved Victorian and Craftsman homes in Elmwood Village and Allentown have older windows and insulation. Before winter travel, walk through your home with your sitter to identify cold drafts and ensure your cat's sleeping spots are warm and protected from exterior-wall chill.

Winter dry-air hydration

Buffalo's long, cold winters mean interior heating runs for months, creating consistently dry air. A water fountain combats dry-air dehydration effectively and is an especially wise investment during November through March when indoor heating is constant.

Enjoying brief but glorious Buffalo summers

Buffalo summers are warm, sunny, and remarkably pleasant — a genuine reward after winter. If your cat enjoys open windows during summer, check all screens before travel to ensure they are secure, as warm-weather window breezes are irresistible to curious cats.
