Proof of Vaccines
Make sure that you have written proof that all of your pet's vaccines are
current.
We REQUIRE that
the following vaccinations have been given within the past 12 months, unless you
provide written documentation from your veterinarian that they have adopted the
three year vaccination protocol:
Rabies
Distemper
We recommend that the following
vaccines have also been given within the past 12 months:
FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis)
Feline Leukemia
Medications
Be sure that you have enough medications to last the entire boarding stay, if your pet
requires them.
Heartworm medication. Will heartworm medication be required
while you are gone? PLEASE do not give your pet heartworm medication early because
you will be gone. Bring your heartworm medication, and we will be happy to
administer it at no additional charge. If your cat is not taking heartworm
medication, we suggest you discuss it with your veterinarian as the incidence of heartworm
has been on the rise in cats.
Contact us in advance about administering any medications
that are not given orally.

Prepare and assemble
your check-in information
Assemble the following information, which will be required when you check in:
* Your itinerary, in case we
need to contact you
* Names and phone numbers of at least two emergency contacts
* Your veterinarian's name, phone number, after-hours number, and address.
* Any pertinent medical information about your pet, such as allergies, seizures, or
other special health concerns.
Check-in form
We can mail you the check-in form in advance, and you can bring it with you when you check in.
Preparing the form in advance will significantly speed up the check-in process. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS FORM IS NOT A REQUEST FOR A RESERVATION.
Food
Be sure that you have enough food for the boarding period. This is a good time to
read our section on Cuisine, if you have not already done so.
(Please contact us for special arrangements for long
term stays).
Cookie Breaks for Cats
Cats have a reputation for being "finicky" and in many cases it's deserved.
If there is a special treat that your cat enjoys, we ask that you provide an ample
supply for the entire stay. Otherwise, we gladly provide healthy, nutritious treats for
kitties.
"Pack"
"Pack" for your friend's holiday, including food, treats if desired, medications, toys, bedding, and so on. Please feel free to
bring:
Toys. A variety of interactive and/or self-play toys
from home would amuse your cat during his or her vacation. For your convenience, we offer
a selection of reasonably priced cat toys in our hotel gift shop.
Bedding. Our cat condos are spacious and there is plenty of room
for bedding items that kitty is used to, such as a bed, basket, or blanket.
The Day of Arrival [Back to top]
Allow time to check in.
Be sure to allow enough time for check-in. We do not suggest dropping off your pet
"on your way to the airport". Our pets are very sensitive to our
moods and feelings. If you are feeling stressed and upset due to worry about rushing
to catch a plane, your friend will arrive at the hotel agitated and concerned. Click here to see our check-in times.
Feeding
It's okay to maintain your cat's normal feeding schedule on arrival day. Cats
are not normally bothered by digestive upsets caused by the excitement of boarding.
Relax!
Relax! Your pet is in very capable and loving hands.
