Frequently Asked Questions

Are cats stressed by boarding?

Cats can find boarding stressful as they are territorial animals. Bringing familiar items like a blanket from home, keeping feeding routines consistent, and choosing a quiet facility all help reduce stress significantly.

What vaccinations does my cat need for boarding?

Most cat boarding facilities require FVRCP (feline distemper combo) and rabies. Some also require feline leukemia (FeLV). Always check with the specific facility, as requirements vary.

Should I bring my cat's own litter?

It's a good idea if your cat has strong preferences. Familiar litter can reduce stress and prevent litter box avoidance issues during the stay.
