Cat care tips for San Diego

Keep your cat comfortable in San Diego's year-round sunshine

Sun and heat management

San Diego's sunshine is glorious but intense. Cats napping in south or west-facing windows can overheat, especially in summer. Ask your sitter to manage blinds during peak afternoon hours and ensure fresh water is always nearby.

Coyote hazard

Coyotes are active throughout San Diego County including urban neighborhoods. Keep cats strictly indoors during all sitter visits. Coyotes are active at dawn, dusk, and overnight, even in residential areas.

Hydration in dry conditions

San Diego's low humidity can dehydrate cats quietly. A running water fountain and regular wet food are recommended year-round. Ask your sitter to monitor water intake and replenish frequently.

Window screen safety

San Diego's mild weather invites open windows year-round. Ensure all screens are tightly fitted, especially on upper floors. Cats can push through loose screens, and even a short fall from a window can be dangerous.
