Holiday Boarding & Grooming:
The Holidays are Just Around the Corner

With Thanksgiving just around the corner and Christmas following shortly, you’ll want your kitty to be well taken car of during the coming winter season. Whether you would like Ms. Kitty looking her best, or need a Grade A facility for Ms. Kitty to stay while your away, the Cat Connection is here to provide for your needs. We have the best groomers in town to take care of all the “hairy” issues and the boarding area to make sure Kitty is well cared for. But just as a friendly reminder, please make your appointments as soon as you get the chance as we fill up fast for this magical time of year.

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.

Why should I groom my cat?

Cats clean themselves, why should I groom them? We see our cats spending a lot of time each day licking and cleaning themselves. There are various reasons; however, your cat still needs your grooming assistance to stay healthy and happy. Grooming accomplishes much more than just making your cats coat look nice and shiny. It also stimulates circulation, removes loose hair, reduces shedding and helps prevent matting.

We pay special attention to each cat and do not rush the grooming process. All cats must be brought in at their scheduled time to ensure enough time to groom your cat properly with as little stress as possible. When making your grooming reservation at Cat Connection, please be honest on the condition of your cat’s coat. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to maintain your cat’s coat, therefore do not neglect proper brushing and combing for 2 weeks just because you have a grooming appointment with us. A cat's coat will not get in a complete matted stage in 2 weeks unless the cat has been neglected.

Just a reminder, we are booking up very quickly for winter. We are very busy and do appreciate our customers immensely but do keep in mind that we can only groom a certain amount of cats each day. If you know your kitty will need to be groomed in a month or two, make your appointment now. We also suggest that you reserve your next appointment when you pick your cat up from grooming. Cat Connection is growing very fast and we want to keep everyone happy, so please plan ahead and make your reservation.
