Where Salt Lake City cats enjoy mountain views and Utah's growing urban culture

The Avenues and Capitol Hill

Salt Lake City's most architecturally magnificent and historically significant neighborhoods — The Avenues as a lovingly preserved historic neighborhood of Victorian, Craftsman, and early 20th-century homes climbing the east bench above downtown, with spectacular views of the Wasatch Mountains, close walkability to downtown and City Creek Canyon, and one of the strongest neighborhood identities in Utah, and Capitol Hill as the beautifully maintained historic district at the foot of the Utah State Capitol.

  • Spectacular Wasatch Mountain views
  • Victorian and Craftsman architectural gems
  • City Creek Canyon walkability

Sugar House

Salt Lake City's most beloved and vibrant neighborhood — Sugar House as the independent, artsy, progressive heart of SLC, with a beloved commercial district anchored by 2100 South and Highland Drive, beautiful residential streets lined with bungalows and mid-century homes, Sugar House Park as one of Salt Lake Valley's best urban parks, and a community identity that is fiercely proud of being the anti-suburb. Sugar House has the strongest neighborhood culture in the Salt Lake Valley.

Cat care tips for Salt Lake City

Keep your cat safe through Utah's air quality inversions, earthquakes, and winter snow

Inversion air quality — a unique SLC hazard

Salt Lake City experiences winter temperature inversions that trap pollutants in the valley, creating some of the worst air quality in the United States for days or weeks at a time. The bowl geography of the Salt Lake Valley makes this inevitable in cold weather. During Red Air Quality days, keep cats strictly indoors with windows closed. Brief your sitter to monitor AQI alerts.

Earthquake risk — Wasatch Fault

Salt Lake City sits directly on the Wasatch Fault, one of the most dangerous fault zones in the United States. Experts have long warned of a major earthquake capable of causing catastrophic damage to the Salt Lake Valley. Keep an earthquake kit ready for your cat: carrier, 72 hours of food and water, medication, and contact information. Brief your sitter on earthquake protocols.

Heavy mountain snowfall

Salt Lake City is famous for its incredible ski resorts and the "Greatest Snow on Earth." The city itself receives significant snowfall but canyon roads to the Wasatch resorts can become very dangerous. Brief your sitter on winter protocols and ensure they know how to access your home if snow accumulates.

Mountain wildlife descending to the city

Salt Lake City sits at the base of the Wasatch Mountains, and wildlife including coyotes, foxes, and occasionally bears and mountain lions descend into urban neighborhoods, particularly in foothill areas and The Avenues. Strictly indoor-only cats are much safer. Brief your sitter to secure all screens and exterior access.
