Most boarding facilities offer a room, food, and litter maintenance. At Cats in the City, we offer an entirely different model—one centered around individualized feline wellness, medical precision, and emotional care.
This isn’t warehousing. This is Better Care for Cats™.
At Cats in the City our top priority is the health of the cats in our care. We track and record all food and water consumed, and all liquid and solid waste eliminated. We measure hydration levels, monitor weight when needed, and we test blood sugar levels when appropriate. In real time this data allows us to respond, adapt, and meet the complex physical and emotional needs of cats boarding with us.
