Cat care tips for Phoenix

Keep your cat safe through Phoenix's extreme desert climate

Extreme summer heat

Phoenix summers regularly exceed 115°F. Air conditioning is a life-saving necessity, not a luxury. Before leaving, confirm the AC is running, set to a safe temperature, and ask your sitter to check indoor temps at every visit. A backup plan for AC failure is essential.

Desert hydration

The dry desert air rapidly dehydrates cats. A running water fountain is critical in Phoenix. Keep multiple water sources and ask your sitter to replenish them frequently. Wet food provides additional moisture year-round.

Rattlesnake and scorpion season

Desert wildlife can enter Phoenix homes, especially during warm months. Keep cats strictly indoors and instruct your sitter to check garage floors and doorways before entering. Seal any gaps around doors where pests might enter.

Monsoon season stress

Phoenix monsoon season runs July through September with sudden violent storms, dust haboobs, and lightning. Cats may become anxious during these events. Inform your sitter of your cat's behavior during storms and provide a safe hiding spot.
