Cat care tips for Raleigh

Keep your cat comfortable through the Triangle's warm four seasons

Manage summer heat and humidity

Raleigh summers are hot and humid, with heat indices regularly above 100°F. Ensure air conditioning is working reliably before any trip. Ask your sitter to verify the thermostat daily and make sure your cat has access to cool rooms.

Spring pollen is intense

Raleigh is infamous for its spring pollen season, which can coat surfaces in yellow dust for weeks. Keep windows closed during peak pollen season and vacuum frequently to protect cats with respiratory sensitivities.

Window heat management

Afternoon sun through south- and west-facing windows can create dangerously hot spots for lounging cats in Raleigh's long, warm summers. Ask your sitter to draw blinds during peak afternoon hours and keep fresh water nearby.

Consistent hydration in the heat

Raleigh's warm climate means cats need consistent access to fresh water year-round. A water fountain is strongly recommended, and supplementing with wet food helps maintain adequate hydration through the hot Carolina months.
