Care, Rooms, & Base Fees
Cats in the City was built specifically for cats. Unlike traditional boarding facilities, our environments are designed around feline behavior, stress reduction, medical observation, and individualized care.
Built Around Feline Care
We operate with a high staff-to-cat ratio, feline-exclusive facilities, structured observation protocols, and a team trained to recognize subtle changes in appetite, behavior, mobility, grooming habits, litter box use, hydration, elimination patterns, and emotional state.
Our boarding program is built as a care system, not simply a place for cats to stay while their families travel. Many medical and behavioral changes in cats are subtle long before they become obvious. Because our team works exclusively with cats, we are trained to notice early shifts in comfort, posture, appetite, energy, litter box use, and stress behavior.
Our team regularly supports senior cats, medically complex cats, diabetic cats, cats receiving multiple medications, cats with chronic conditions, cats experiencing transitional stress, and cats who need extra time, patience, and skilled handling during environmental change.
Medical Boarding and Specialized Support
Cats in the City offers a range of medical and higher-support boarding options for cats who need more than basic room-and-board care. These services are supported by structured observation, feline-specific handling, documentation, and escalation protocols.
Medical boarding support may include medication administration, appetite monitoring, hydration observation, litter box tracking, diabetic care support, senior cat support, transitional stress monitoring, supported feeding protocols, and coordination with veterinary teams when appropriate.

Enriched Environments
Regarding catio access, all cats receive daily individualized attention and enrichment. For cats who genuinely enjoy outdoor observation, bird watching, fresh air, and spending extended periods watching the world go by, a private room-connected catio can be a wonderful addition.
For many cats, however, the standard enrichment and interaction they receive during their stay is more than sufficient.

Choosing the Right Room
If you’d like, tell us a little more about your cat—age, personality, activity level, medical needs, medication schedule, and whether they’ve boarded before—and we’d be happy to recommend which room and care plan we think would be the best fit.
And please feel free to send additional questions. We know choosing boarding can feel overwhelming, especially when a cat has medical, senior, diabetic, behavioral, or transitional support needs. We’re happy to help however we can.
Warmly,
Cats in the City Boarding Team
