WHY BOARD YOUR CAT?

Plenty of cool spots to hang out and larger accommodations for multi-cat families

More and more people are discovering the delight of sharing their life with a cat (as you are no doubt aware, no one OWNS a cat!). Cats offer intelligent, furry companionship without the need for long walks in all kinds of weather at all hours of the day and night! There will be times, however, when you will have to make arrangements for your pet's care when you are travelling on business or vacation, or when out-of-town guests who are allergic to cats are staying with you.

There are several options available in pet care and you, as your pet's guardian, will need to choose the one best suited to both your needs.

It is important to remember that cats do not usually travel well. They rarely enjoy it, nor do they adapt quickly to strange places. Many people who try to take kitty along with them on vacation end up spending most of their time searching for their escaped pet!

Having an animal-loving friend or relative take your pet in is often just as unsatisfactory. Again, your pet must adjust to a strange environment and often to other pets in the home. A cat may try to escape from this strange place or hide in fear the whole time. Most "cat guardians" realize it isn't fair to impose this kind of responsibility on friends, nor is it a happy arrangement for their pet.

"Hmmm... wanna bet they'll never know?!"

Hiring a professional petsitter allows your pet to remain in its familiar surroundings, but generally provides for only one or two short visits a day. Some cats do very well in such a situation. Others, however, frustrated by the lack of attention, proceed to relieve their boredom by rearranging the entire house... "missing" the litterbox may be the least of the damage! And no matter how well meaning a friend or relative is, or how well trained a petsitter is, it may be impossible for them to spot the beginnings of a health problem if "Fluffy" spends the entire time under the bed!

Having a professional boarding cattery care for your pet offers a solution to most of these problems. Certainly there is still the adjustment to a new environment, but this is fairly easily accomplished in a cozy enclosure that provides your cat with a sense of security and eliminates the chance of escape. We encourage guests to bring "snugglies" from home to sleep on. Their own bed, or a favorite blanket tucked into one of our roomy baskets, provides a soothing addition to kitty's vacation suite. An experienced staff sees to it that your cat is not only well cared for, but receives plenty of personal attention each day. And a trained eye is there to spot potential problems if they arise and handle anything that might come up in your absence.

At Kate's Kitty Jungle we are dedicated to providing your cat with a true "home away from home".
