Things You Need To Do For Preparing Your Cat To Stay In A Cat Hotel

In most cat owners’ cases, taking your feline friends with you on vacation is simply not possible. Especially when you are travelling overseas, the talent of your cats as escape artists makes it impractical. For many owners, accommodating their cats in the cat hotel is the best solution during travel. Knowing that they are safe and well looked after you can relax.


Many homeowners worry about leaving their cats in catteries or Cat Hotel. This is because; they are unsure how their cat will cope. Here are some things that will help ensure that your cat has a great holiday too.

1. Vaccinations

Ensure that your cat had a vaccination in the last 12 months. They need to be vaccinated against Calici Virus, Herpes virus and Pan-leukopaenia virus (RCP). Make certain that you get it done before boarding them and also don’t forget to bring proof from your vet that this has been done. If your cat isn’t updated with their vaccinations, they might be declined from boarding or will need to be kept in an isolation facility until a vaccination is given. This might incur additional expense.

2. Parasite Control

Most of the renowned cat hotel pride on being flea free zone and thus they ensure that all cats are treated against fleas with a vet prescribed product on the arrival date. Most of the cat hotel can flea-treat your cat on arrival. If preferred, you can bring along your vet prescribed product with you and we will apply it on the arrival day. This is done in order to protect all cats against horrible biting fleas.

3. Food

If your feline friend is on a special or prescribed diet, do let the cat hotel know well in advance about the food of your cat. This enables them to have the food ready for your cat’s boarding.

4. Medication

Don’t forget to inform the cat hotel about any medical condition your cat has. Also, let them know if any special medications your car will require whilst staying with us. Even if your cat becomes ill during their stay, you can rest assured that it will be treated by a professional vet. If needed, we will contact & update you about your cat. Ensure that at the time of admission, you leave the best contact details in case of an emergency.

5. Toys and blankets

If your car is habitual of any particular blanket or loves playing with some favourite toy, you can happily bring it to the Cattery. Even the cat hotel will provide a wide range of toys and scratching posts for your cat’s entertainment whilst boarding.
