6 Myths About Cat Kennels

Many Shiloh, 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 need the constant care that dogs do. Simply leaving extra food and water in the home they're used to may seem preferable to 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 untrue:

1. My cat will be OK by themselves

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

Cats are social animals. While they can sometimes seem antisocial, 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

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, relaxing and ample suites, and dedicated playroom, they will adapt quickly to their environment and enjoy their time at Cats Only's Shiloh, IL Cat Kennel.

3. My cat won't like 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 know they won't get stressed-out or sick because of another person's cat. Additionally, we are a strictly flea-free cat kennel and all cats we board are required to have their rabies shot.

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

   We are proudly a cage-free cat kennel. We know that cats' nature means they need a lot of space 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 disturb my cat

We all know that many dogs and cats are natural enemies. Listening to hours of non-stop barking 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

Why board your cat in a cat kennel in Shiloh, 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 2 times daily. We also love spending quality one-on-one time with cats, so you can be sure your cat won't be lonely.
