About Tabby Cats

Tabby is not a breed but rather a coat pattern found in many cat breeds and mixed-breed cats. Characterized by distinctive stripes, dots, or swirling patterns with an "M" marking on the forehead, tabby cats are among the most common and beloved cats worldwide. The pattern comes in classic, mackerel, spotted, and ticked varieties.

Adopting a tabby cat means welcoming a cat whose personality is as varied and wonderful as their patterns. Found in shelters everywhere, tabbies make fantastic companions with diverse temperaments shaped by their individual backgrounds. Their familiar, beautiful markings and loving personalities have made them favorites for centuries.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

25°F to 38°F

Dec – Feb

NYC winters are harsh for Chihuahuas. Their tiny body loses heat rapidly, and they need an insulated coat and booties for every outdoor trip. Keep walks under 10 minutes when temperatures drop below 30°F. Wind between buildings intensifies the cold.

Spring

42°F to 65°F

Mar – May

Spring brings welcome relief for Chihuahuas in NYC. By April they can enjoy longer walks through Washington Square Park and the West Village. A light sweater may still be needed for cool mornings. Watch for puddles since Chihuahuas chill easily when wet.

Summer

68°F to 85°F

Jun – Aug

Chihuahuas handle NYC summers better than cold since they originate from warm Mexican climates. However, hot pavement is a serious hazard for their tiny paws, which are very close to the ground. Walk in grassy areas or use booties. Always carry water.
