🐱🌿 Summer Safety Tips for Cats

Warmer weather brings more open windows, outdoor adventures (for some cats), and extra household hazards to be aware of.

A few important reminders for cat owners this season:

✔️ Keep windows securely screened—cats are curious climbers
✔️ Watch for overheating in sunny spots or warm rooms
✔️ Ensure indoor cats don’t have access to toxic plants brought in for summer décor
✔️ Continue year-round flea and tick prevention, even for indoor cats

Cats are great at hiding discomfort, so small changes in behavior or appetite can be important early warning signs.

If you ever have concerns about your cat’s health, our team is here to help.
