Why Our Clients
Trust Their Cats to Us
We love
cats. We are also quite fond of people who love cats. We designed our
cats-only boarding to be a place we would want to take our own cats (who
actually ARE here).
We don't
sell cat boarding--we sell peace of mind. We care for your cats
like we care for ours. That's why, since 2000, our clients go on
their first vacation in years or head off to a family reunion returning
to tell us they didn't worry one bit about their precious furry family
members.
We put in all the things we wanted and made sure
the things we didn’t want aren’t there:
- Roomy
quarters. No tiny veterinary boxes for our babies. We have big,
bigger and even bigger digs for your cats—from walk-in condos to
entire private suites.
- Clean,
clean, clean. We just HATE the smell of a cat box. Even when it’s
not pathogenic, it just seems like nobody cares. So we make sure
our facilities are spotless. Of course, it also doesn’t hurt that
cleanliness makes for a healthy environment, too.
-
Enrichment. No, that doesn’t mean a class in Crocheting for Cats.
Just because cats can sleep up to 20 hours a day doesn’t mean they
don’t want something interesting to do the rest of the time. That’s
why we give them:
-
Daily bird watching.
We have lots of finches in rolling cages who have been hired to
entertain our guests.
-
Catnip video.
Big screen and flat screen televisions provide continuous
showing of videos specially designed to entertain cats with
birds, squirrels, chipmunks, video lasers and more.
-
Quiet.
Don’t get us wrong; we love dogs. We just don’t need them at
the cat center. We call it the “bark-free zone.” But we do
encourage purring along to the spa music.

-
Veterinary care.
-
All the vet care you
won’t need.
Because one of us is a vet, we’re on call and/or on the premises
all the time. We’re always checking intake and output (yes, we
like to examine the litter boxes). We don’t want any idiopathic
cystitis, hepatic lipidosis, stress diabetes on our watch. But
if we can’t prevent 100% of those type of things, we can treat
them right away.
-
All the vet care you
will need.
If your cat has special medical needs, we’re here for you.
Diabetes, kidney disease or other non-contagious conditions are
no roadblock to boarding. We also get lots of senior cats, some
more than 20 years old, who keep coming back.
-
Private playtime. Individual, monitored time outside the condos to
play and explore.
- No
communal co-mingling. Communal cat care is bad for your cat. Cats
are not small dogs. Veterinarians don’t mix cats belonging to
different clients. Communal cat housing increases stress; increased
stress puts the adrenal glands on overtime and compromises the
immune system. What does that mean? Simply put, communal housing
increases the chances boarding cats will get sick. We NEVER house
your cats with anyone else’s cat because:
-
Increased risk of illness.
-
Increased risk of fighting.
-
Decease in appetite, potentially triggering hepatic lipidosis,
the potentially fatal fatty liver disease triggered by not
eating.
-
Our inability to monitor cats individually.
