In order to ensure a safe and enjoyable stay
for your pets, we require the following:
Veterinarian Information:
We require that your veterinarian's name and
phone number be on file while your pet is boarding with us. If you do
not currently have one, we can provide you with names of local veterinarians.
However, it is your responsibility to choose a veterinarian you feel
comfortable with and trust.
Payment:
We accept cash, check or Zelle.
We charge by the day, whether your cat
arrives in the morning or afternoon. Check-out time is 9:30 AM.
Check out after this time will incur charges for an additional day.
Charges for any animal boarded for over three
and half weeks will be discounted 10%. Please also see our deposit
requirements for long term stays.
Multiple Animal Payment
Discounts:
We will provide a discount for two or more
animals. Please contact us for more information.
Deposits:
A 25%
deposit is required at time of boarding for stays of seven or more
days.
Holidays:
Check-ins, check-outs or tours are not available
on the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day, July 4th, Halloween,
Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. We will still be caring for our boarding
guests, but are not accepting pick-ups, drop offs, or tours.
Vaccinations:
We require that every kitty guest be current
on Rabies and Distemper/FVRCP. For outdoor cats, we require proof of
Feline Leukemia Vaccine, or a negative Feline Leukemia test done within
the last 30 days. We require all of our clients to bring a record of
veterinary administered vaccinations showing their cat is up to date.
Massachusetts law states that ALL cats must be up to date on the Rabies
vaccine.
Medication:
Please advise us of any medication(s) your
cat is on before you board with us, so we can discuss their needs
with you. There is a $5.00 fee per day for medication
administration.
Toys:
We encourage you to bring your kitty's favorite
toy or bed to make his/hers stay as comfortable as possible.
Food:
Because many cats don't adapt well to an abrupt
change in food, we recommend that you bring their own brand of food.
Fleas:
We request that all cats be on a form of flea
preventative. We take great care to ensure that our facility remains
clean and flea free. When we accept a cat for boarding, we assume it
comes to us free of fleas or at least without a client's knowledge of
their cat having them. If we find a cat has fleas while in our care,
we will treat them with an externally administered flea product; the
cost of this will be added to your boarding bill. If you have any concerns
about fleas, we highly recommend that you treat them prior to boarding
and inform your veterinarian.
Cancellation Policy for Holidays and the Busiest
Times:
If you give us 10 days notice of your cancellation,
we will return your deposit. If cancellation is 3-9 days before boarding
we will put a credit in your file for the entire amount of the deposit,
which will be applied toward your next boarding visit. If your cancellation
is 48 hours or less, your deposit will be forfeited.
Questions?
Please contact us
for more information or if you have special concerns for your pet's
boarding.
