Peace of Mind With Cat Boarding
We understand that it can be stressful to leave your cat when you go out of town. This can be especially true if they are recovering from an illness or procedure.
Our veterinary team strives to put your mind at ease with full-service cat boarding to meet all your companion's needs while you are away. This includes basic food and comfortable boarding kennels, along with medical oversight and even playtime and cuddles if desired.
We've got everything your cat needs to feel at home while you're out of town.
Medical Boarding for Cats
Our team of veterinarians and support staff are on hand to care for cats with medical conditions or needs while their families are out of town. Along with our standard amenities, we will provide veterinary care such as administering medication, wound care, and health monitoring for your cat throughout their visit.
What to Expect During Your Cat's Stay
We know that cats are creatures of habit, which means that maintaining their current routine will be vital in preventing changes in behaviours or unnecessary stress.
Our team will adhere to your current feeding schedule to help ensure minimal interruption for your cat once you return home.
We provide daily one-on-one interaction with kitties (if they want it!) including play, snuggles, and pats. Litter boxes are checked, cleaned, and disinfected periodically throughout the day. Additionally, we refresh linens and clean your kitty's room daily.
The cat boarding area is separate from the rest of the facility to ensure your kitty feels relaxed and safe while they stay with us. Our goal is to give you the peace of mind you need to go away knowing that all of your cat's needs are met.
