Cat care tips for Norfolk

Keep your cat comfortable in Norfolk's coastal Tidewater climate

Hot, humid Tidewater summers

Norfolk summers are hot and humid with strong maritime moisture, with temperatures regularly above 90°F from June through August. Air conditioning is essential. Ask your sitter to monitor indoor temperatures and ensure fresh water is always available during warm-weather bookings.

Hurricane and storm surge awareness

Norfolk sits at significant flood risk, with much of the city vulnerable to storm surge from Chesapeake Bay tropical systems. Before hurricane season (June through November), identify your home's flood risk zone, share your emergency plan with your sitter, and have a clear evacuation protocol ready for your cat.

Coastal humidity and hydration

Norfolk's coastal humidity is year-round but peaks in summer. A water fountain ensures consistent hydration and is especially useful when salt air and warm temperatures combine to affect your cat's water intake habits.

Occasional winter nor'easters

Norfolk sees occasional winter nor'easters that can bring mixed precipitation and gusty coastal winds. Before any winter trip, confirm your heating is reliable, stock extra food and litter, and share emergency contact details with your sitter.
