6 Myths About Cat Kennels

Many Fairview Heights, IL residents ask themselves if leaving a cat at a cat kennel is really in their cat's best interest. After all, they do not seem to require the constant attention that dogs do. Simply leaving extra food and water in the surroundings they're used to may seem better than leaving them in an unfamiliar place with unknown humans. However, there are a lot of reasons reasons why it's best to board them in a cat kennel. Here are 6 of the common myths people think about cat kennels, and why they are false:

  1. My cat will do fine by themselves

    2. In the unfortunate event of flooding or other damage to your home while you're away, someone may not be able to assist them in time. Furthermore, if your cat has a medical issue while you're away, you can be certain they'll receive immediate and proper care when you board at a cat kennel.

    Cats are social animals. While they can be aloof, or often hide from humans they don't know, being alone can often be stressful and cause them to worry.

  2. A cat kennel will be too stressful

    3. While most cats do not enjoy change, being alone for several days will be an unwelcome change as well. We're confident that with our friendly, cat-loving staff, tranquil and ample suites, and dedicated playroom, they will adapt quickly to their surroundings and enjoy their time at Cats Only's Fairview Heights, IL Cat Kennel.

  3. My cat won't enjoy being around other cats, and may become ill

    At Cats Only, your cat will never interact with cats outside of your cat family, so you can feel at ease that they won't get anxious or sick because of another cat. Furthermore, we are a strictly flea-free cat kennel and all cats we welcome are required to have their rabies shot.

  4. My cat will be stuck in a cage the whole time

    There are no cages at our Fairview Heights, IL cat kennel. We know that cats' nature means they need ample space to follow their instincts and play. Our dedicated playroom will help even the most energetic cats get enough exercise and mental stimulation.

  5. Dogs will upset my cat

    6. It seems like many dogs and cats are natural enemies. Listening to hours of non-stop barking could cause any cat to be anxious. Fortunately, our cat kennel is only for cats, and your kitty will never hear or see another dog on our property.

  6. My cat will be left alone for several days

    7. Why board your cat in a cat kennel in Fairview Heights, IL if they are just going to be left alone with food and water in a smaller space? At Cats Only, our committed staff makes sure to check on your cat or cats many times throughout day, including three times when we arrive and three times before we leave. We are constantly checking to make sure their food and water bowl is full, and clean their cat litter 2 times a day. We also love spending quality one-on-one time with cats, so you can be sure your cat won't be lonely.
