Cat boarding kennels are a great option for cat owners who want to ensure their feline friend is well cared for while they're away. They provide a safe and comfortable environment for cats to thrive.
Some cat boarding kennels have play areas where cats can socialize and exercise, while others offer private suites for cats that prefer quieter surroundings. The best cat boarding kennels will have a balance of both.
Cats that stay in boarding kennels typically have access to regular feeding times and a clean litter box, which helps maintain their health and hygiene.
Luxury Cat Accommodations
At luxury cat boarding kennels, your feline friend will feel like royalty. They'll have access to interactive jungle visits, fully soundproofed from the rest of the building, where they can enjoy the tranquil sounds of the rain forest.
These kennels understand that your cat's experience should be as home-like as possible. They feature tall, seven-story cat trees in common areas for your cat to enjoy during activities like the Safari Stroll.

Your cat will be entertained all day by the abundance of birds visiting the feeder adjacent to their rooms on the exterior of the building. This is a great way to keep them stimulated and engaged.
Some kennels even display Kitty Catnip TV, featuring fascinating small animals accompanied by peaceful sounds, on huge flat-screen TVs visible to guests in their condos and townhouses. This is a great way to keep your cat calm and relaxed.
To make your cat feel at home, many kennels encourage you to bring their usual food, toys, blankets, or other objects to which they are attached. This can be wonderfully soothing for your cat.
All kitties are required to have a veterinarian/client/patient relationship with a veterinarian before boarding with these kennels. This ensures that your cat receives the best possible care during their stay.
What to Expect
When you drop off your cat at a boarding kennel, you can expect to be greeted by a friendly staff member who will show you around the facilities and explain the daily routine.
Most cat boarding kennels have a strict check-in and check-out policy, so be sure to arrive at the designated time to avoid any confusion.
Your cat will be provided with a comfortable place to rest, usually in a spacious room or enclosure with plenty of hiding spots and vertical space to climb.
Each cat will have its own feeding area, where staff will provide fresh food and water throughout the day.
You can expect regular updates on your cat's behavior and any notable events, such as playtime or veterinary visits.
The staff will also make sure your cat gets plenty of exercise and playtime, often through interactive toys or play sessions with staff members.
Some cat boarding kennels may offer additional services, such as grooming or nail trimming, for an extra fee.
Your cat's health and well-being are the top priority, so be prepared for any necessary veterinary care or medication administration.

UCVC Kitty Hotel Policies
At the UCVC Kitty Hotel, we take the health and well-being of your cat very seriously. Your cat must have a valid veterinarian/client/patient relationship (VCPR) with a veterinarian at UCVC before boarding, as required by Colorado regulation.
The hotel stay is charged by the night, with rooms starting at $37 per night. You can choose your cat's room and make arrangements for their stay.

To ensure your cat's safety and health, you'll need to provide documented proof of current vaccination status. This includes:
- Documented current status of Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)
- Current rabies vaccination, current rabies exemption certificate, or current rabies titer test results
Keep in mind that even with vaccinations, there's still a risk of contagion when cats are in close quarters.
Personal Items:
When choosing what personal items to bring for your cat's stay, consider what will provide comfort and security.
You can bring personal items like your cat's favorite toys or blankets to make them feel at home.
However, it's a good idea to leave your cat carrier with the hotel staff during your kitty's stay.
Be aware that you'll be responsible for any damage that may occur to your cat's personal items, even with the best care.
It's a good idea to leave your most valuable or sentimental items at home to avoid any potential loss.
All hotel guests must be free of external parasites, so make sure your cat is parasite-free before checking in.
