Health Requirements

Our strict health and cleanliness policies are to protect the health and welfare of all our guests. If your cat is an outdoor cat, we can not board him or her. If your kitty is in need of advanced medical care, please inquire with a veterinarian boarding facility or another boarding service who offers vetrinarian or techs on staff.

Feline Vaccinations: Although we have our own opinions about immunizations, as we have seen kitties have reactions to immunization shots, we highly prefer a standard of immunizations to keep our kitty guests healty and safe while boarding. Please provide a copy of immunizations.

If your cat has not been immunized please call us to discuss the health status of your cat.

We prefer the following immunizations for our kitty guests.

1. FELV (Feline Leukemia Virus)

2. *FVRCP (Feline herpes virus 1, calicivirus, and panleukopenia virus)

*Some vets do not give FVRCP shots to cats over 10 years old.

Copies of records are usually brought to us upon check-in or mailed ahead of time.

The health of your pet - Our kitty guests need to be protected. That is why it is imparative that your kitty is an indoor cat only. Your pet can not have or show signs of the following contagious symptoms before or during boarding services:

Ringworm - if your cat has suffered with ringworm in the last year, please inquire about our in-your home pet sitting services.
Coughing
Sneezing - unless you are certain it is allergies
Colds
Discharge -
due to contagious illnesses
Leukemia
Ear mites
Fleas
Ticks
Diarrhea
Blood in urine
- cats must be have had a veterinarian check-up and being treated, i.e.: med's, before boarding begins. Urinary infections are accepted, if under the care of a vet.
Any other contagious or threatening illnesses not listed here

If you notice your cat has ear mites, please treat them for 2-3 weeks before your service with us begins. If your kitty has fleas, please have your kitty treated and free of fleas for 1 month before service begins. It is best to take your kitty to the vet for this treatment. Home treatment can be toxic and sometimes fatal.

Developed symptoms in cats - If your cat develops contagious illness symptoms while in our care, your cat will be quarantined and/or transported to a veterinarian clinic for boarding services right way. The client will be responsible for all fees related, including medical bills, kenneling, and fees set forth by our company for our time and attention to this matter. Rest assure, we will make every effort to contact you immediately, if your cat ever develops symptoms.

Spay and Neuter - Cats must be spayed or neutered. If your cat is for breeding purposes, please inquire with us. However we can not provide services for cats in heat. We do not support breeding, due to the overwhelming population of homeless cats.

Newly adopted cats from shelters - If you have just adopted a cat from a shelter, please wait 6 weeks before receiving our bed and breakfast services. If you are in our service area, you can use our pet sitting services until the appropriate time has passed. Unfortunately, most cats carry diseases when they have just been adopted from the shelters, until they have been fully treated and time has passed. We ask that clients please abide by this rule. We also want to mention that we commend you for rescuing a sweet, precious animals in need of your love, and look forward to caring for your cat soon!

Outdoor cats - We do not personally believe any cat should have access to roam free in the outdoors due to predatory wildlife, animal cruelty, traffic, severe weather conditions and parasite infestation- due to eating birds or rodents. We also can not accept kitty's who are allowed to roam around outdoors, due to the high possibility of contracting diseases such as Leukemia (through outdoor water sources, and Rabies, that is prevalent in Tucson. However, we do allow outdoor cats who are only accustomed to screened-in areas, that has had no contact with any elements or other animals outdoors.
