Cat Boarding

Our cat boarding accommodations are designed to make our feline guests feel right at home. We provide a quiet atmosphere with a friendly touch. Our PCSA certified Pet Care Technicians will professionally care for your cat and ensure that he is healthy and happy. Remember, we care about your cat too!

Accommodations include cat condos with three different levels, large enough for multiple cats from the same family. Your cat may also pass through a kitty door to the other side of the condo for a different view.

We provide bedding, dishes, litter and stainless steel litter pans. We provide Nature's Variety Prairie Chicken dry cat food as our house diet or you may choose to provide your pet's own diet in a labeled airtight container.

Helpful Cat Boarding Tips

• Plan ahead! Cat boarding is a very popular service, and we tend to book up quickly. Plan to reserve your cat's condo as soon as you are aware of the dates you need. A credit card will be required for all reservations. We require 48 hours notice for cancellations or changes in reservation dates. Without 48 hours notice, charges are based on the number of nights reserved.
   
• You are welcome to request a pre-check-in to expedite the check-in process. Be prepared to supply vaccination records, an emergency number, and instructions for feeding, and grooming.
   
• Separation from you and being in a new environment can sometimes produce stress in your pet. Stress can result in lowered immunity and resistance and sometimes even temporary changes in behavior.
   
• Do not feed your pet at least four hours prior to boarding. This will minimize the possibility of having an upset stomach. Because exercise and eating habits can change, some pets gain weight while at a kennel, while others may lose a few pounds.
   
• Please be sure to inform us of any behavior or medical problems that your cat may have such as allergies, medications, separation anxiety, fear of thunder, history of epilepsy, etc. As a pet owner, you should be aware that you are financially responsible for any veterinary care that may be required for your pet. All information which may help us care for your pet is pertinent.
   
• All pets must be free of internal and external parasites, and must not have been exposed to any contagious disease. If any fleas are found, your pet must be bathed at your expense. For the sake of all pets in our care, we reserve the right to deny boarding to any pet lacking the required vaccinations, any pet that appears to be behaviorally unsound or any pet that may have been exposed to contagious disease or internal or external parasites.

Understanding the Cattery Environment

At Misty Pines, we pride ourselves on superior pet care and personalized attention to all of our guests. Rest assured that we will do our best to make your cat's boarding as relaxing and comfortable as possible.

Being away form home can be stressful for any pet. Eating and elimination habits can change in a new environment. We ask that you inform us of any special needs or medical problems that your pet may have. Any information that may be help us care for your cat will be very helpful.

Due to the instinctive solitary and territorial nature of cats, they usually enjoy the protected feeling they get from a cat condo. While cats may normally enjoy exercising in large areas at home, they often prefer safety to space while staying in a new environment. Cats exercise isometrically so they can actually exercise their muscles just by stretching. After taking some time to adjust, cats really enjoy their visit with us.
