Cat care tips for Tempe

Keep your cat safe through Tempe's desert summers

Extreme Valley of the Sun heat

Tempe summers are brutal, with temperatures regularly exceeding 110°F. Air conditioning must run continuously. Ask your sitter to verify indoor temperatures at every visit and ensure fresh water is always available from May through October.

Hydration in the desert

Tempe's dry heat makes hydration a constant priority. A water fountain is essential, and wet food should be a daily staple. Monitor your cat's litter box output as a key hydration indicator during any summer booking.

Monsoon storms and haboobs

Tempe's monsoon season brings sudden haboobs and intense thunderstorms from July through September. Brief your sitter on your cat's storm behavior and ensure all windows seal properly against the fine desert dust that infiltrates homes during haboob events.

Winter mild-season advantage

Tempe winters are mild and beautiful — one of the great rewards of Arizona desert living. From November through March, conditions are ideal for checking screens and ensuring your cat's environment is comfortable without heavy heating costs.
