Cat Boarding Done Right
When your cat boards at Cats in the City they are provided a personalized room, or “apartment,” as some customers have referred to our rooms. All our private boarding options are large and provide a relaxing, safe, and enjoyable experience for your cat. Cats receive ample time to explore the common areas, playrooms, and Catio, when available.
We keep careful watch over our furry guests. Cats enjoy frequent contact with skilled care providers, petting, playtime, and treats that you bring or that we provide. We follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, and other care needs.
Special needs cats: We’re skilled at taking care of pets with special needs, including older animals with low mobility. We commonly administer insulin, oral medications, injections, and Sub-Q fluids.
Our pledge to you and your cat:
- Your cat will get playtime and attention from our cat-loving team.
- Animal technician and animal behaviorist on staff.
- We ensure a flea-free environment.
- Our home-style facilities are super clean and are climate-controlled (central air conditioning in the summer / heating in the winter).
- We will watch your kitty for any signs of potential health problems, and will respond appropriately if a situation presents.
- HEPA filtration and UV Light Air Exchange Systems to ensure air quality.
- Veterinarian on-call 365 days-a-year
How it works
- You make a reservation, and choose one of three private bedroom options: petite, junior, and master. Your cat spends the day and night in our comfortable home-style facilities.
- Medicate your cat with flea treatment, and bring in proof that kitty is on a monthly flea treatment, or we will apply Advantage® on kitty upon arrival for $20. The only exception is a letter from your veterinarian explaining why your cat cannot be given flea treatment. Flea treatments we accept are Advantage, Activyl, Frontline, Revolution, Comfortis and others. We do not accept off-brand or discount store products.
- Make an appointment to bring in your cat, along with sufficient amounts of food and treats, as well as any medications and instructions. We provide everything else.
- Complete and submit the electronic forms by clicking the “Boarding Check-in Form” and “Medical Authorization and Release” buttons below.
