At Cats in the City, we understand that cat care isn’t just about feeding and checking in—it’s about proactively recognizing health concerns and taking immediate action to ensure the best outcomes. Recently, two senior cats in our in-home cat sitting care began showing signs of respiratory distress during their owners’ absence. Our advanced team quickly identified that the likely cause was poor air quality from an ongoing home remodel.
Rapid Response: Coordinating Emergency Care
Recognizing that this was a medical situation rather than a routine check-in, we immediately coordinated emergency veterinary care at DoveLewis Emergency Animal Hospital. Our team, including Quinn, our boarding specialists, and medical-trained staff, spent six hours working closely with veterinarians, relaying critical information between the hospital, the cat parents, and our internal care teams. The diagnosis? The cats’ airways were irritated due to environmental factors—likely airborne particles from the remodel.
A Unique Solution: Immediate Transfer to Clean Air Boarding
Instead of returning the cats to the compromised home environment, we made a decisive intervention: we brought them into our boarding facility, where they could breathe clean, purified air.
What makes this possible? Our facility is equipped with the REME HALO® air purification system—a rare industry investment that continuously eliminates allergens, airborne particles, and contaminants to ensure the highest air quality. This decision proved to be a game-changer.
The Results: Thriving in Clean Air
Within hours, the cats’ breathing stabilized
Their appetites returned
They relaxed and thrived in our care, no longer suffering from respiratory distress
By the time their parents returned, they were healthy, happy, and ready for a joyful reunion.
The Power of Integrated Care
This case highlights what makes Cats in the City different—we **don’t just offer boarding, grooming, or pet sitting as separate services; we integrate them into a seamless, proactive care system. Our team of 28 highly trained professionals—including PhDs, veterinarians, groomers, and boarding specialists—collaborates to ensure that when unexpected situations arise, we don’t just react—we act with precision and expertise.
Why This Matters for Cat Parents
Most pet sitting services would have missed the early warning signs or simply monitored the cats without taking action. Instead, because of our expertise, we recognized a serious issue and swiftly mobilized emergency care, preventing what could have escalated into a life-threatening situation.
