We offer cat boarding at our Springfield hospital, so your cat is cared for by a veterinary team while you're away.
Boarding is available to current clients, based on availability. We don't currently board dogs.
Why Board Your Cat at a Veterinary Hospital
Leaving your cat while you travel is easier when you know they're staying with people who understand cats. Boarding can be a good choice for:
- Senior cats who do best with a quiet, steady routine
- Shy or anxious cats who may be stressed by a stream of visiting pet sitters
- Cats who shouldn't be left alone for more than a day
- Families traveling for longer trips who want their cat's days to stay predictable
Cats often hide it when they aren't feeling their best, so it helps to share your cat's normal eating, litter and sleeping habits at drop-off. Small details make it easier to keep their stay calm and familiar.
How to Prepare Your Cat for Boarding
A little planning helps your cat's stay go smoothly. Call ahead to check availability, and make sure your cat's vaccines and parasite prevention are up to date. Our team will let you know what is required before boarding.
Pack your cat's regular food so their stomach is not upset by a sudden change. A familiar blanket or small item that smells like home can be comforting. At drop-off, share details about feeding, litter habits and personality. Leave a phone number where you can be reached. Getting your cat used to their carrier ahead of time can also make the trip less stressful.
