What is cat boarding?
Are you nervous about leaving your precious kitty at home alone? Tired of imposing on friends or depending on unreliable family to feed and spend quality time with your beloved cat? Worry no more. Times have changed, and gone are the days of just putting litter down and a bowl of water and dry food.
Cats are now seen as children, and doted upon like they deserve. Bringing your cat to a facility is becoming all the rage, and many owners see how much better their cat does more quality enrichment and care by cat experts.
For cat boarding, there are a few options: a kennel, cat hotel or luxury cat resort. Which one is best suited for you?
Kennels
Kennels are industrial buildings which house both dogs and cats. The cats are sometimes separated from the dogs, but they can still hear barking and some are set up so dogs go by the cat’s cage each time they go out. The cages provide security for kitty and are typically very small. Kitty stays in the metal crate for the duration of the time she is at the facility. Due to the proximity of the cat cages to the dog areas, cat’s will most likely hear dogs bark and it will be noisy.
Kennels provide routine care, meals, water, litter box cleaning and a simple place to sleep which is mainly a cage. The price of kennels range between $20 up to $130, depending on location, size and pend on your geographic location (prices may be higher in some cities) and the specific kennel or cattery that you choose.
Cat Hotels
Cat hotels are larger and house just cats. This is a great option if you’re looking for a step up from the wire cages. Most of the cages or rooms are roomier than the kennels and will have shelves, and some have cute, themed rooms. The benefit of the cat hotel is a quieter environment with cats-only. The cost typically start at $35 or more depending on your geographic location.
The last, and most luxurious of the three options for cat boarding is the cat resort.
