6 Myths About Cat Kennels

Many Rentchler, IL residents wonder if leaving a cat at a cat kennel is really the best thing for their cat. After all, they do not seem to require the constant care that dogs do. Simply leaving extra food and water in the surroundings they're used to may seem preferable to 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 we hear about cat kennels, and why they are false:

  1. My cat will be OK 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. Furthermore, if your cat suffers from a medical issue while you're gone, you can be sure 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 people 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 undesirable change as well. We're confident that with our friendly, cat-loving staff, relaxing and large suites, and dedicated playroom, they will adapt quickly to their surroundings and enjoy their time at Cats Only's Rentchler, 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 outside of your cat family, so you can feel at ease that they won't get anxious 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 shot.

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

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

  5. Dogs will disturb 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 only boards and grooms 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 Rentchler, 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 constantly checking to make sure their food and water bowl is full, and clean their cat litter twice daily. We also love spending quality one-on-one time with cats, so you can be confident your cat won't be lonely.
