Yes. Familiar items from home can help your cat settle in more easily, especially bedding with a familiar scent. Let us know about any dietary needs when you book.
Cats are housed separately in their own space, away from other cats, so there’s no direct contact during their stay. We have a larger shared space that your cat can enjoy if they wish, but only one cat can use it at a time, or cats from the same household if they get along.
Because we’re based at a veterinary clinic, any health concerns during your cat’s stay can be assessed and treated on site, without needing to transfer them elsewhere. We will contact if you are reachable, but will gain permission on admission for any urgent care required.
Yes, you can call us during the vet clinic open hours if you would like to check in.
It’s normal to feel unsure the first time. Our team is experienced with anxious or first-time boarders and will settle your cat in gradually, with familiar comforts from home where possible.
