Boarding Cats
- Settling In

Cats are solitary animals and cat react to strange environments through stress. It is perfectly normal for a cat to take 2 or 3 days to settle into the cattery. What that means is they may not eat much during the first few days.

If your cat has started eating within 2 days we administer some Nutripet. This is a gel that is high in vitamins and can supplement food. It is also an appetite stimulant. For the majority of cats this is all they need to start eating. If this does not work we will keep trying different foods until we find something they will eat.

If we have to purchase additional food such as roast chicken, it will be at your expense.

Sometimes cats do not use their bowels when stressed. If they have not used their bowels within 2 days we administer some laxative. If that does not work we will seek advice from a vet.

The majority of cats do settle in after a few days, so do not be too alarmed. The more a cat boards with us the more comfortable they will become.
