Cat care tips for San Jose

Keep your cat safe through Silicon Valley's conditions

Earthquake preparedness

San Jose sits near several active fault lines, including the Hayward and Calaveras faults. Keep a cat emergency kit ready with 72 hours of food, water, medications, and a carrier. Brief your sitter on what to do if an earthquake occurs during a stay, including your cat's hiding spots and emergency pickup arrangements.

Summer heat wave management

While San Jose has a Mediterranean climate, summer heat waves can push temperatures above 100°F in inland neighborhoods like Evergreen and Berryessa. Air conditioning is essential during July and August. Ask your sitter to monitor indoor temperatures and confirm cooling is running at every summer visit.

Wildfire smoke season

San Jose is frequently affected by wildfire smoke from fires throughout Northern and Central California, particularly late summer through fall. During poor air quality days, keep cats strictly indoors and close windows. Brief your sitter on how to check air quality alerts.

Coyote and wildlife awareness

Coyotes are active throughout San Jose, including in Almaden Valley, Evergreen, Willow Glen, and neighborhoods near foothills and parks. Strictly indoor-only cats are much safer. Brief your sitter never to allow any outdoor access and to secure cat doors and screens.
