Boarding
While we love caring for cats in the best way we know how, we are ill equipped to board healthy cats as their need to roam and play cannot be met at our facility. Cats needing medications administered or any other kind of special care that a certified boarding facility cannot provide can be boarded at our clinic. We do wish to remind our clients that there is no overnight nursing care attendant on staff, but that your cat will receive wellness visits after hours, with the frequency dependant on the individual needs of your cat.
