Cat care tips for Indianapolis

Keep your cat safe through Indiana's unpredictable four seasons

Prepare for Indiana winters

Indianapolis winters can be unpredictable — mild stretches followed by sudden blizzards. Ensure your heating system is reliable before any trip, provide warm bedding in multiple locations, and ask your sitter to monitor temperatures and check in daily.

Humid Midwest summers

Indianapolis summers are warm and humid, with heat indices that can make indoor temperatures uncomfortable for cats. Ensure air conditioning is functioning before you leave and ask your sitter to check it regularly during July and August.

Tornado season awareness

Indiana sits in tornado country. Ensure your sitter knows your home's safest interior room and has your emergency contact details. A prepared sitter means your cat is safe if severe weather strikes while you are away.

Hydration through seasonal transitions

Indy's seasonal shifts — from dry heated winters to humid summers — both affect how much your cat drinks. A water fountain near their favorite resting spot encourages consistent hydration regardless of the season outside.
