Cat Friendly Apartments for Rent
Cat
friendly apartments don't have to be harder to find than regular
apartment listings if you know how to look. Use your online apartment locator
to generate pet friendly listings. Cats are generally more welcome in the
rental property world than other pets, such as dogs, because they are
smaller, potentially create less mess, and are quiet. If an apartment listing
says "pet friendly," it allows cats but may not allow dogs, or it may allow
pets with the stipulation of an extra deposit or fee to be paid.
Some listings may not say whether they allow pets
at all. However, because cats are so unobtrusive and kept indoors, it is
worth inquiring with the landlord whether they would accept a cat or a
deposit to allow the cat. If you do come to an agreement, make sure it is
clearly detailed in a rental agreement and signed by all parties (except the
cat, of course).
Keeping Cats in Indianapolis
Keeping a cat in an apartment in Indianapolis
requires the usual cat care responsibilities, as well as some seasonal
factors to consider. During summertime heat waves, for example, you'll need
to leave extra bowls of water out and run a fan or air conditioner. In colder
months, make sure you prevent your curious kitty from getting out or catching
cold. Also, occasionally bathing your cat can help it stay healthier by reducing
the occurrence of hairballs. This can be particularly helpful during the
summer when cats are shedding and struggling to maintain a cool body
temperature.
You should also evaluate your cat's needs in your
new rental apartment space. A general rule to keep in mind is to have one
litter box and two scratching posts per cat. Keep toys around to keep your
cat happy. Finally, securing your shelving units to walls and using museum
putty to secure your belongings to those shelves can prevent your cat from accidentally
knocking anything over.
