Cat care tips for Reno

Keep your cat safe through Reno's dramatic high-altitude desert seasons

High-altitude desert temperature extremes

Reno sits at 4,500 feet and experiences dramatic temperature swings — summer days can exceed 100°F while winter nights can drop well below zero. Ensure stable indoor temperatures year-round and ask your sitter to verify heating and cooling at every visit.

High-altitude dehydration risk

Reno's high altitude and dry desert air create a constant dehydration risk for indoor cats, especially in winter with heating systems running. A water fountain is essential year-round, and wet food helps maintain hydration through both the hot, dry summers and the cold, dry winters.

Wildfire smoke in fire season

Reno and the surrounding Sierra Nevada are significantly impacted by wildfire smoke from July through October, with some of the worst air quality events in the western US occurring during active fire years. Keep windows sealed during smoke events and run air purifiers if available.

Heavy winter snowfall and power

Reno winters can include significant snowfall and power outages during severe Sierra Nevada storm systems. Ensure your heating system is reliable, that your sitter has your emergency contact information, and that your cat has access to food and water in a power-outage scenario.
