Holiday Boarding

Will you be traveling this holiday?
Thanksgiving and Christmas are our busiest times of the year for boarding. If you already know your dates, go ahead and set up your appointment to guarantee you a spot this coming holiday season. You can adjust your dates as needed, but be aware we need to know any and all changes at least 48 hours before your scheduled check-in date to prevent any fees. A credit card number is required in order to hold all reservations. NO EXCEPTIONS. Please note that no charges will be billed to your credit card unless the cancellation policy is not followed. Please read over our Cancellation Policy before scheduling your boarding appointment. We do require that all cats must be current on rabies and distemper vaccinations.

Why should I board my cat?
It is important to remember that cats do not usually travel well. They usually do not enjoy it, nor do they adapt well to travel. Many people who try to take kitty along with them on their vacation end up spending most of their time searching for their escaped pet.

Leaving your cat with friends is just as unsatisfactory. Cats must go through an adjustment period in a new environment and this means they will not look upon your friend's house as "home" for quite awhile. Therefore, your cat may try to escape from the strange house at every opportunity or hide as a fear reaction. Most cat owners realize that it is not fair to impose this kind of responsibility on their friends, nor is it an ideal arrangement for their pets.

Although your cat may not think so at first, being boarded can be an enjoyable experience if you find the right place. The key is to find a clean facility with a professional, caring staff that can meet your pet's needs. The most satisfactory way of arranging for such care is to entrust your cat to a qualified cat kennel, where the security arrangements are adequate to insure that your cat will not escape, and where the personnel are trained in observing and handling the problems which may arise in your absence.
