☀️ Top 5 Summer Events for Cats Living in Apartments

Here’s a list of sunshine-filled summer event ideas and take-home treats for cats (and their humans) who love to lounge, play, and pounce:

1. “Tropical Treats” Cat Kit

Pickup Event Idea: Set up a bright, beachy table in the clubhouse where residents can pick up tropical-themed kits for their kitties. Add summer music, fruit-infused water, and maybe a palm tree cutout for photos!


Suggested treats: Fish or tropical fruit shaped catnip toys, freeze-dried chicken or fish treats, a mini catnip beach ball, summery bandana, cooling collar, cooling mat, catnip bubbles and mini fishing pole toys.


2. “DIY Cat Toy Luau” Craft Station

Event Idea: Host a hands-on DIY station where residents can make summer-inspired cat toys like felt ice cream cones or fishy plushies.


Take-Home Items: Craft materials, printed instructions for more DIY ideas at home, and a tropical-themed treat bag for carrying their creations.


3. “Sun’s Out, Tongues Out” Photo Contest

Event Idea: Invite residents to share sun-kissed pics of their cats lounging in sunbeams, exploring the balcony, or sporting a summer outfit. Share entries on your community socials and offer prizes.


Take-Home Items: Printable beach-themed photo props, a digital photo frame raffle entry, or a mini summer swag bag with toys and snacks.


4. “Meow-garita Mixer” Resident Social

Event Idea: A resident happy hour or morning coffee bar, but make it cat-friendly! Provide “kitty cocktail kits” for residents to take home for their cats to enjoy later.

☀️ Summer Activities for Cat-Loving Residents

(Perfect for community newsletters or social media posts)

  • Create a Frozen Cat Treat: Try a simple recipe like frozen tuna pops or pumpkin ice cubes (check for safe ingredients). It’s a cool treat your kitty will love!


  • Build a “Beach Bungalow”: Transform a box or cube into a summer hideout with breezy colors, faux palms, or paper fish. Make it cozy and safe — no real sand needed!


  • Host a Cat Spa Day at Home: Set up a chill zone with brushing time, a cooling mat, and their favorite soft toy. Play calming music and let them lounge in style.


  • Window Watching & Bird TV: Set up a sunny window perch with a bird feeder view. Bonus: play “bird videos for cats” to keep them stimulated on lazy summer afternoons.


  • DIY Summer Toys: Use old socks, dried catnip, and felt to create ice-cream-shaped plush toys.


  • Sunbeam Snuggles: Encourage residents to create a soft, shaded spot near sunny windows for their cats to nap. A cozy blanket or cooling mat makes it extra inviting.

☀️ Summer Cat Safety Tips for Residents

(Content for newsletters, flyers, or social posts)

  • Keep Cats Cool: Indoor temps can rise fast in summer. Keep blinds partially closed, provide fresh water daily, and consider a cooling mat for hot days.


  • Hydration is Key: Encourage cats to drink by adding pet-safe ice cubes to their water or using a cat water fountain to keep things moving and fresh.


  • Safe Balcony Time: Remind residents to supervise cats on balconies - even patio enclosures designed to contain pets may not be completely safe.


  • Watch for Overheating: Panting, lethargy, drooling, and vomiting are all signs of heatstroke. If a cat shows these signs, they need a vet visit ASAP.


  • Avoid Open Windows With and/or Without Screens: Summer breezes are nice — until they become a fall hazard. Window screens are not engineered to support the weight of pets or humans.


  • No Shaved Coats: While trimming matted fur is okay, cats need their coat to regulate temperature. Never shave a cat without vet guidance.


  • Limit Outdoor Time: Even leash-trained cats can get too hot in the summer sun. Keep walks short and stay in shaded areas.


By mixing fun activities with smart safety tips, your residents will feel empowered to give their cats the best summer ever — with your community right at the heart of it. Every cat is different — while some love sunshine and playtime, others may prefer a quiet corner. Always prioritize safety and comfort when introducing new summer activities, and keep an eye out for signs of stress, overheating, or anxiety. Keep it chill, and your kitty residents will have it made in the shade. 😻🌴
