Meowtel made it very easy, safe and effective to hire a cat sitter. I've had a lot of success my first time trusting Meowtel's app and their vetting process for cat care takers. I will be a repeat customer.

Rescue & Support Cats This Memorial Day Weekend

As we honor Memorial Day with family gatherings, weekend getaways, and moments of remembrance, let's also take time to support the most vulnerable among us: our feline companions in shelters across the country. Late spring marks the start of kitten season and a surge in shelter admissions, making this a crucial time for rescues to receive extra help.

Long weekends are a perfect time to support your local cat rescue community. Donations, fostering, volunteering, or spreading the word; all can help change a cat's life forever.

Why your support makes a big difference

During the Memorial Day period, shelters experience a double squeeze: the seasonal wave of abandoned or stray kittens and a dip in available volunteers due to holiday travel. This imbalance stretches resources thin just when help is needed most. Supporting a local rescue now means more cats have a chance at finding forever homes.

Give cats a chance to bloom this Memorial Day

While we remember and honor lives this Memorial Day, let's also protect those still waiting to be loved. Supporting a local cat rescue, through time, resources, or advocacy, is a beautiful way to make a meaningful impact this weekend.

Help Cats, Honor and Remember During Memorial Day

This Memorial Day, as we reflect on the sacrifices of those who served, take a moment to support the cats who need us most. Donating to or volunteering with local rescues is a meaningful way to give back to your community.

And if you're traveling during the holiday weekend, Meowtel makes it easy to find compassionate, vetted cat sitters, so your cat stays comfortable at home while you enjoy your time away.

If you need help finding a sitter, reach out to Meowtel's support team at [email protected], and we'll guide you in finding the right match for your cat's care.

Yes, cat sitting is available over Memorial Day weekend! However, since it's a busy holiday, we highly encourage early booking to secure your sitter. Many sitters will have limited availability, so booking in advance ensures you get the care your cat needs during the long weekend.

Yes, holiday rates may apply for Memorial Day, as it's a highly demanded date. Sitters set their own holiday surcharge percentage, which automatically applies starting 3 days before the holiday, on the day of, and up to 3 days after. This helps compensate sitters for working during peak times. Be sure to check your sitter's profile for specific pricing details related to Memorial Day bookings.

Memorial Day is a popular time for travel, so we recommend booking as soon as possible to secure your sitter. If you need to make a last-minute request, reach out to Meowtel's support team, and we'll do our best to assist you.

Due to high demand during Memorial Day weekend, Meowtel sitters have the option to set their own holiday price increase, which can be found in the rates section of their profiles. If your reservation falls within three (3) days before and/or after Memorial Day, or on the holiday itself, a holiday surcharge, determined by your sitter, will be added to your reservation.


This surcharge applies to Memorial Day and other major federal holidays. The exact surcharge is determined by the sitter and will be reflected in the rates section of their profile.

Memorial Day visits include all the core services you'd expect: feeding, water refreshment, litter scooping, playtime, and providing text updates with photos or videos.

For a long weekend away, both drop-in visits and overnight stays are great options. If your cat is independent and doesn't need special care or constant attention, drop-in visits may be the best choice. However, if your cat prefers more companionship or needs additional care, an overnight stay ensures they have continuous company and attention.

Yes, if the weather is particularly hot, your sitter will take extra measures to ensure your cat's comfort. This includes providing plenty of fresh water, checking that fans or air conditioning are running, and offering cool, shaded areas to relax. Your sitter will also keep an eye out for signs of heat stress and adjust care as necessary.

If your travel plans change, you can submit modification requests directly to your sitter. To modify a confirmed reservation, such as adding/removing visits or adjusting durations, log into your Meowtel account, go to My Reservations (or “Reservations” in the app), click on Details, and select Modify Reservation to submit your changes.
