Cat care tips for Pittsburgh

Keep your cat comfortable through Western Pennsylvania's variable seasons

Prepare for Pittsburgh winters

Pittsburgh winters are cold, gray, and snowy, with ice storms a regular occurrence. Ensure heating systems are serviced before any trip, provide warm bedding away from exterior walls, and ask your sitter to check temperatures and conditions daily.

Manage humidity in summer

Pittsburgh summers are warm and humid. Air conditioning is essential for cats left at home. Ask your sitter to verify the thermostat is set correctly and monitor your cat for signs of heat stress during July and August.

Staircase and level awareness

Pittsburgh's hilly terrain means many homes have multiple levels, steep staircases, and complex layouts. Inform your sitter of any floor restrictions for your cat — particularly if you have a senior cat or a cat recovering from injury.

Winter hydration with dry heat

Pittsburgh's forced-air heating creates very dry indoor air throughout winter. A humidifier and water fountain together are recommended to keep your cat comfortable and well-hydrated through the long Pennsylvania winter.
