LONG TERM BOARDING
Sometimes “Life Happens” and folks need a place to keep their cat until things can be sorted out…and sometimes these things take longer than just a week or two. For instance, we have boarded a cat for 6 months while the owner’s were building their dream house. They were able to stay with the in-laws, but one of the members of that family was allergic to cats! So we provided a relaxing, temporary home and the pet parents would come and visit their cat at the Cattery as often as they could.
And then there was the young woman who wanted to finish her degree at a University in Louisiana, so she boarded her two cats with us for 9 months so that she wouldn’t have to give her “kids” up while she was away.
Another couple left for England for a year on an exchange grant, but to take their cat with them meant he would have to be boarded in a small cage for the required British 6-month quarantine. Rather than put him through that or give him away, they opted to leave him with us. Of course, the Cattery rates were negotiated to the satisfaction of all. When they returned, we asked for “visiting privileges” as he had become part of our family too! And yes, he recognized them and was obviously happy to see his pet parents again.
