Cat care tips for Houston

Keep your cat safe in Houston's hot, humid climate

Extreme heat and humidity

Houston's subtropical heat combined with high humidity creates dangerous conditions for cats. Air conditioning must remain on at all times when cats are home, and sitters should check indoor temperatures at every visit.

Constant hydration

Houston's heat accelerates dehydration. A running water fountain and wet food are essential. Ask your sitter to replenish water at every visit and monitor your cat's intake during peak summer months.

Hurricane and flooding preparedness

Houston is flood-prone. If severe weather is forecast during your travel, ensure your sitter knows your emergency contacts, your cat's evacuation plan, and where the carrier is stored for quick departure.

Screen and window safety

Houston's warm months invite open windows, but unsecured screens are a fall risk. Ensure all window screens are tightly fitted before leaving, and instruct your sitter to keep high windows closed.
