6 Myths About Cat Kennels

Many St. Louis, MO 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 need the constant attention 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 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

In the unfortunate event of flooding or other damage to your house while you're gone, someone may not be able to help them 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 sometimes seem antisocial, or often run away 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

It is true that most cats do not like change. However, being alone for several days will be an unwelcome change as well. We're confident that with our friendly, cat-loving staff, quiet and spacious suites, and dedicated playroom, they will adapt easily to their surroundings and enjoy their time at Cats Only's St. Louis, MO 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 another person's cat. Furthermore, we are a strictly flea-free cat kennel and all cats we welcome are required to have their rabies vaccine.

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 ample 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

We all know that many dogs and cats are natural enemies. Hearing 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

Why board your cat in a cat kennel in St. Louis, MO if they are just going to be left alone with food and water in a smaller space? At Cats Only, our dedicated 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 daily. We also love spending quality one-on-one time with cats, so you can be confident your cat won't be lonely.
