Preparing Your Cat For Boarding

What to Expect

At Cradle Cat Hotel, we do our best to ensure your furry family member’s comfort while staying with us. Every aspect from physical design to maintenance are thought through in the best interest of our guests. Cats are by nature creatures of habit and any change to their environment (e.g. not having their familiar humans around, changes in schedule, going to new environment, weather, noise etc.) may cause them stress. How each cat reacts to change varies in form and duration, every cat is an individual. 

Some common physical reactions to expect are:

  • Drawing of a black box with white eyes on the front and an open top.

    Hiding

  • A simple cartoon drawing of a cat's face with a sad expression, with a bowl of food below.

    Inappetence (may go up to 3-4 days)

  • A cartoon drawing of a sad cat face with brown, white, and black colors, shouting 'No!'

    Reluctance to use the litter box (may go up to 3-4 days)

  • A sad, cartoon-style face with droopy eyes and a frown.

    Soft stools

  • Cartoon drawing of a cat sneezing with a tissue, showing a brown and white face and closed eyes.

    Mild flu symptoms such as conjunctivitis, sneezing, coughing etc.

  • A cartoon drawing of a bunny with a pink face, closed eyes, and floppy ears on a white background.

    Urinary issues such as blood in urine

Do not worry too much if your cat experiences any of these reactions, it is normal and to be expected. Our experienced team is doing our best to make your cat comfortable, keeping a close watch on him/her and will keep you posted daily.
