Is a Kitty Daycare Right for Your Cat in St. Clair County?
As most cats sleep for an average of 12 to 18 hours a day, it might seem fine to let them lounge away on the couch while you're at work or running errands all day. However, there are some cats who would benefit from kitty daycare:
- Elderly cats — If your cat is getting up there in age, it may be best to have someone watch over them to make sure they're alright. Cats mask pain and discomfort and can hide symptoms of even serious illness. Having them in a kitty daycare will help ensure they get necessary medical attention when they need it.
- Cats with health issues — Likewise, if your cat needs medication or is recovering from a recent injury or surgery, it might be wise to leave them with capable and caring professionals at a kitty daycare who know how to give medication without upsetting your cat.
- Kittens and "teenage" cats — Those annoying antics your young cat gets up to that wake you up in the middle of the night? They're doing the same thing when you're not home. While a still-spry cat a few years old knows how not to hurt themselves, kittens are still learning about the world and may knock over vases or other objects that both could harm them and damage your stuff. It's recommended never to leave a kitten alone for more than 4-8 hours. At Cats Only in St. Clair County, we have a dedicated playroom where your kitty can run around and explore without doing any damage or hurting themselves.
- Anxious and/or destructive cats — Separation anxiety in cats can cause them to scratch at doors, destroy your furniture, urinate or defecate outside of the litter box, not eat the appropriate amount, and/or vomit. It may even lead them to escape somehow. Taking them to a kitty daycare can help soothe them and keep both them and your furniture safe.
As a general rule, it's never a good idea to leave any cat alone for more than 12 hours. If you're wondering if a St. Clair County kitty daycare is right for your feline family member, feel free to give us a call or schedule a time to come by and tour our facilities.
How to Choose a St. Clair County Kitty Daycare for Your Cat
Where Will My Cat Stay at the Kitty Daycare?
You don't want to send your cat to a kitty daycare if they're just going to be stuck in a small cage or glass box. We only keep cats in our standard-, queen-, or king-sized suites. All of them come with a litter box (with a curtain for privacy), scratching posts, various cushions, several levels to climb up, and a window perfect for sunbathing. At our kitty daycare, your cat will be free to lounge, run, climb and explore as they see fit.
How Close Will They Be to Dogs?
While cats get stressed out when they're left alone at home, they'll be even more stressed out if they have to listen to barking dogs all day. At Cats Only's St. Clair County kitty daycare, our philosophy is in our name: there are no dogs allowed. Your cats will be able to nap in peace and won't feel any need to hide in the corner.
Is the Kitty Daycare Clean?
A clean litter box is extremely important to cats, and we make sure to clean every litter box twice a day. We also clean all of our suites extensively between visits, so you're cat won't pick up any viruses or infections from other cats during their stay.
Does the Staff Really Know About Cats?
Many pet hotels and pet boarding and grooming services focus mainly on dogs and only tailor to cats as an afterthought. As we only offer our services to cats, we are specialists in how to handle cats and keep their experience relaxed and pleasant. Our owner started Cats Only specifically because she found she had a special connection to cats and noticed there were no kitty daycares in the St. Clair County area that are tailored specifically to cats. All of our staff are cat lovers and cat experts.
Do They Offer Grooming Services?
There are numerous benefits to taking your cat to a cat groomer, such as encouraging the production of healthy oils and getting rid of dead or matted hair. At Cats Only, you can enhance your cat's stay at our kitty daycare by giving them a grooming session with our Certified Feline Master Groomer™.
If you're leaving the St. Clair area for a few days, we can also house your cat for an extended cat vacation with our cat boarding services.
