Claws Out: Unveiling the Most Unwelcoming Cities for Cat Owners in the US

From cat cafes to leash-free zones, the range of amenities directly impacts the ease and satisfaction of both the cats and their owners.

The Study

The study looked at a number of factors – veterinarian costs for cats, including the cost of vaccinations and spay/neuter surgeries.

Los Angeles, California

Los Angeles was the worst-ranked city in the whole study, with low scores across the board – high veterinarian costs, poor access to vets, and a lack of pet-friendly accommodation and pet stores.

New York, New York

New York didn’t fare well – while it has a reasonable score for pet-friendly spaces and apartments, it is one of the worst for veterinarian costs and the absolute worst city in the study for access to vet offices.

San Jose, California

San Jose ranked third-worst due to its high veterinarian costs for cats – the joint worst in the entire study.

San Francisco, California

San Fran is the city that joins San Jose as the most expensive for cat veterinarian treatment (and it was the standalone worst for dog treatments, too

Boston, Massachusetts

Boston has poor – but not terrible – scores across the board. Access to veterinarians is OK, but costs are high, and access to spaces is poor.
