6 Myths About Cat Kennels

Many Millstadt, IL residents wonder 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 unfamiliar humans. However, there are many 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 a fire or other damage to your house while you're away, someone may not be able to come to their aid in time. Additionally, if your cat experienced a medical issue while you're gone, 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 run away from people they don't know, being alone can often be stressful and cause them to be anxious.

  2. A cat kennel will be too stressful

    3. While most cats do not enjoy change, being alone for several days will be an undesirable change too. We're confident that with our loving, cat-loving staff, relaxing and large suites, and dedicated playroom, they will adapt easily to their surroundings and enjoy their time at Cats Only's Millstadt, IL Cat Kennel.

  3. My cat won't enjoy being around other cats, and may get sick

    At Cats Only, your cat will never interact with cats that aren't in your cat family, so you can be sure that they won't get stressed-out or sick because of someone else's cat. Additionally, we are a strictly flea-free cat kennel and all cats we house are required to have their rabies vaccine.

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

    There are no cages at our Millstadt, IL cat kennel. We know that cats' nature means they need a lot of room to follow their instincts and play. Our dedicated playroom will help even the most zestful cats get enough exercise and mental stimulation.

  5. Dogs will upset my cat

    6. We all know that many dogs and cats are natural enemies. Hearing endless barking all night could cause any cat to become stressed. 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 Millstadt, IL if they are just going to be left alone with food and water in a smaller space? At Cats Only, our devoted staff makes sure to check on your cat or cats multiple times a day, including three times when we arrive and three times before we leave. We are consistently checking to make sure they have enough food and water, and clean their cat litter 2 times daily. We also love spending quality one-on-one time with cats, so you can be confident your cat won't be lonely.
