Cat care tips for Cleveland

Keep your cat comfortable through Cleveland's lake-effect seasons

Lake-effect snow and cold

Cleveland is one of America's snowiest cities thanks to lake-effect snow off Lake Erie. Winters are long, cold, and unpredictable. Ensure heating is reliable, provide warm bedding in multiple rooms, and ask your sitter to check in daily from November through March.

Humid summers by the lake

Cleveland summers are warm and humid. Air conditioning is essential for cats left at home. Ask your sitter to monitor the thermostat and ensure fresh water is always available during July and August.

Lake Erie wind chill

Wind off Lake Erie can create a dramatically colder feel-like temperature than the thermometer suggests. Ensure all window and door seals are tight before winter trips — even small drafts can make rooms uncomfortably cold for cats.

Winter dry air management

Cleveland's forced-air heating creates very dry conditions indoors from October through April. A humidifier and water fountain together help keep your cat hydrated and comfortable through the long lake-effect winter.
