How to Prepare Your Cat for Their First Boarding Stay
Summer is upon us and that means one thing, vacations! It also means you will likely have to make arrangements for your pets. When it comes to cats, most people think they can be left alone for a few days as long as they have ample food and water. The truth is, they need daily care as well. While a cat doesn’t need to be walked, or taken outside for bathroom breaks, they do need to have fresh food, water and litter box cleanings daily to ensure their health and wellness. Today we are going to discuss the benefits of cat boarding and how you can prepare your feline for their stay with us while you are away.
Why do we recommend cat boarding?
Whether it is for your job or just a family vacation that takes you away, we know how stressful it can be trying to figure out arrangements for your cat.
