Why to Board Your Cat in a Cattery

A lot of Millstadt, IL cat owners are worried that boarding their cat at a cattery will be stressful for their feline, and think the better choice might be to leave them at home and have someone check up on them. Many people mistakenly view cats as being low maintenance. Cats are social creatures and can grow lonely and anxious if left by themselves. Additionally, in the unfortunate event that a natural disaster occurs and damages your house while you are gone, or your cat experiences a medical emergency, nobody would be there to get them the help they need.

If your Millstadt, IL family includes multiple cats, they’ll all be able to stay together in the same living space to comfort each other and keep each other company.

How to Choose the Right Cattery for Your Cat

There’s a lot to take into account when choosing the best cattery for your cat. The Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) has recommended standard minimum requirements when deciding on a cattery, and at Cats Only we exceed all of them. Here are a few things to consider when choosing the best Millstadt, IL cattery for your cat:

Living Space and Primary Enclosure. When choosing a cattery, you might first think about where they’ll be spending the majority of their time. Cats Only is a cage-free, no dogs allowed cattery with sizeable and enjoyable suites for your cat. Each of our three suite sizes has a litter box with a privacy curtain, a window that looks at the outdoors, scratching posts, a bed, and shelves and counters they can play on, or hide under to feel safe. There’s also plenty of light during the day so they won’t be left in the dark.
The Staff. Whether you have a kitten or a grimalkin, you want to know that the cattery taking care of them cares as much about cats as you do. At Cats Only, we specialize in cats and our Millstadt, IL staff is specifically certified in how to understand and handle cats. We love giving them snuggles and attention, and even have a dedicated playroom so more venturesome cats can get one-on-one play time with a member of our staff. In addition to giving your cat attention throughout the day, we triple check on each cat when we arrive in the morning and when we leave at night. Our attentive staff make sure your cat is fed twice daily and always has sufficient water.
Amenities. Your cat only being fed and safe isn’t enough, you want them to be somewhere they’ll be pampered. In addition to our playroom and roomy suites, the Cats Only Millstadt, IL cattery provides professional grooming services so your cat can be bathed, trimmed, have their ears clean, and their nails trimmed. Our master cat groomer has been certified by the National Cat Groomers Institute (NCGI), so you can rest assured that your fluffy family member will be getting the best possible spa treatment.
Healthcare. Administering medication to a cat can be hard, and any Millstadt, IL cattery should have staff specifically trained on how to administer medication properly. Additionally, it’s important for a cattery to have vaccination and flea-free rules so your cat does not get sick. Any cat that gets fleas while at our cattery will be given a flea bath immediately.
Cleanliness and Sanitation. Your cat will be uncomfortable and could get sick if his or her living space is filthy. Our Millstadt, IL facility is flea-free, the rooms are clean, and the litter box is cleaned twice a day. Food is kept away from the litter box so there isn’t any cross-contamination.

Before you commit to a cattery, it’s a good idea to go to the place in person and see the facilities for yourself. Is it clean? Does it smell? Are there stress triggers such as distractions and noises? Is the staff caring and knowledgeable? Will your cat be forced to stay with cats from different homes that he or she doesn’t know and isn’t comfortable with? These are all important questions to ask before deciding whether your cat should stay at a specific cattery.

How You Can Help Your Cat’s Stay at a Cattery

We strive to make your cat’s stay with us as pleasant and fun as possible, but we know they are going to miss you. Still, there are a number of things you can do to enhance your cat’s stay and curb any changes that could be stress triggers while you’re gone:

Bring your cat’s preferred food and their favorite treats
Bring a favorite blanket or an article of your clothing so they have their favorite familiar scents to accompany them
Bring any of your cat’s favorite toys so they’ll be reminded of home and all the fun times you and your cat have together

Surrounding your cat with familiar objects and scents from you and your home will remind them you’re coming back and will help ease any anxiety they may feel.
